Most electric scooters trade portability for range, so I looked closely at the VSETT Mini — the lightest scooter VSETT has ever made — to see if it strikes a fair balance.
At just under 30 lbs., it's noticeably easier to carry up stairs or onto a train than most commuter scooters. It comes from the same company behind chassis designs used in Zero, Apollo, and Turbowheel scooters, and this is VSETT's first entry into the micro-scooter category.
The Mini runs a 36V 7.8Ah battery for up to 12 miles of range (20 miles with the optional external battery), a 350-watt motor good for 18 mph, and front and rear double-spring suspension — unusual for a scooter this light. Solid 8" tires mean no flats, and it keeps VSETT's signature NFC card lock along with LED underlighting and a bright headlight for visibility.
Regular price is $499, and it's currently discounted to $349 (save $150, 30% off). Every purchase includes a 1-year warranty and a free Alien Rides sticker, and Alien Care add-on plans are available if you want crash coverage or free consumables like tires and brake pads down the line.
Save on your order: the VSETT Mini is 30% off automatically, and shipping is free on most PEVs over $500. Shop Alien Rides here.
