Easiest Way to Add Stability to Your VSETT 10+ : Steering Damper Installation

[@mikecast7340]

This video is hands down the best instructional video for installing a steering damper. I followed it exactly and successfully installed my damper. Although I deviated slightly by removing the grub screws first, thinking it would be the most challenging step. However, I encountered difficulty when trying to insert the screws into the holes from which the grub screws were removed. The screws would go in smoothly but halt halfway through. After much consideration, we concluded that applying force was the solution to securely position the screw. With that tight screw, the bracket is now firmly attached for good and will remain there for the rest of its life. I sincerely appreciate your effort in uploading this video as it proved to be incredibly helpful.

Damper is a great add. Wouldn't personally want to ride a powerful dual motor without it. Changes the handling for the better and one can release the steering with one hand at slower speeds if needed with far less worry. With the VSette, there's the added benefit of taking some stress off the charge ports, which would be right under the ball of my foot with my surfer riding style. For myself, the hard port covers accessory would also be a must.

[@HiRideEV]

I made the mistake of riding a powerful dual motor escooter without a steering damper and ended up breaking my shoulder. not a fun experience, but the ride was a thrill

[@ladyjedi3D]

Ging, thank you so so much for this video. I’m installing my damper right now and couldn’t get the dang grub screw loose.same side as yours. So grabbed a blow dryer and spent 5 minutes heating that sucker up! Finally got it out. Now for the right side. Whew. I was getting worried. Third time I Watched the video. It helped me to figure it out. Thanks! 🎉

[@kevinkelly9895]

I dont have a VSETT but am still watching and would like to THANK YOU for showing us when things don't unscrew and what you to to sort it out :)

[@GingerOnWheels]

Thanks for watching! Showing all the screwups is what I do best. 😅

[@rogerbussiii]

My damper was sent to me by ewheels... while not branded it seems to be the same as here. I decided to actually install mine just now, directly after eating it at just 5mph while removing one hand (never a good idea) to scratch my face.. as expected I got a bit of road rash on my knee and forearm but I'll live to ride again.. but the screw you had a problem with gave me pause...so I decided to start with that.. the left one that was troubling for you was easy... the right on the other hand was concerning. I thought for sure I was gonna strip it but I got it.. thanks for the tutorial... I just wish I had already installed mine as I'm sure my recent incident wouldn't have happened.. I knew I should have.... I guess my crash was the nudge I needed.... now I'm off to Amazon for safety gear... thanks again.

[@koynelistifado]

Steering Damper should have every single scooter from 25mph and up as standard! I installed in a much slower than the vsett (kugoo g2 pro) and the handling was significantly better! Recommend 💪💪💪

[@DT-Nicky]

If you get a longer steering damper, you can make the turns you can make match the built in steering stop that this scooter has.

[@GingerOnWheels]

Yeah you do loose a few degrees to the left and right with this damper. I've read it's the only one that fits though. Do you have a link to a longer one that you can confirm works on this scooter?

[@GingerOnWheels]

@ElectronSean I've read multiple places that there is only one damper that fits this scooter. Where is this alleged longer version?

[@Energine1]

{over 2k miles on 10+} Adjusting throttle sensitivity greatly influences how easily cruise control engages. Top regen level makes a really cool hover board sound/vibration at low speeds... overcharge protection works and disengages the regen braking automatically 🤗

Nice thanks nice video I am looking to get the 10+ hopefully soon. Good Job.

[@scoottheharbor]

buy yourself an extra damper. unfortunately they don't last very long. can't wait to see you ride with the damper on. let me know if it restricts the turning radius.

[@GingerOnWheels]

It restricted the radius by a bit on the left and right side. Nothing that I'd use while riding, but I could see it being harder to walk around tight corners or make 3 point turns with on a sidewalk or something. Remind me, what happened to your damper again? If I recall, there was one spot in the middle that sort of felt loose?

[@Greatlakeskyle.]

Great tutorial. Perfect for dummies like me.

[@saransmith8773]

I've never needed one for mine and it's all turned up in p settings, the 10+ is f..king great I just wish they put at least 11 inch wheels on it.

[@GingerOnWheels]

Yeah I've never really had the need for one. If you're experienced enough, wobbles will sort themselves out. Unless riding one handed, which is mainly what I want to experiment with on the vsett.

[@ecoboostedfuze]

Same here. I’m always riding max speed in max settings and I don’t have any stability issues. It’ll be great if the VSETT 12+ comes out because the 12 inch tires on gopeds are very stable compared to the 10 inch ones on our VSETT 10+.

[@RevRides360]

Amazing! Good tip with the heat gun on the grub screw 👍

[@TheElectricScooterGuy]

Yea man a damper is a must my boy matt has the 25ah battery version i love it but the suspension is way too soft and i only weight 140lb and if i know u your def gonna put hybrid tires on it there the best tires for 10inch scooters imo

[@GingerOnWheels]

I just got PMT tires in the mail today

[@Fawke85]

@@GingerOnWheels update us about the pmt e-fire! I’m thinking of getting a pair

[@retrothruster2539]

Finally saved up the jingle for one of these but it looks like no more free damper but is discounted, I did not however see it as an accessory for separate purchase.

[@morrismorris4973]

Is this vsett10+ still your favorite scooter?

[@fpvdronie9276]

Just bought a kugoo kirin g2 max... can't wait to test it... ihope you never get a fire 🔥 in that room my friend....😱

[@peterm2066]

Excellent tutorial, my scooter can travel at high speeds without wobbling However, I feel that I can tilt left or right much easier which is just as dangerous 😂😂😂

[@guerrerogamer7124]

brother will have one for the kugoo Kirin Q06 pro electric scooter model😮

[@Elvis20101]

Thank you

[@plutobars7700]

Can you check out the orno max, it looks pretty cool.

[@oddtechman]

nice tutorial. Think revrides should have put a bit of loctite on the damper install bolts though to reduce the chance of rattling loose through use

[@GingerOnWheels]

I could've put some loctite, maybe I will end up doing it eventually. But I wanted to see how many miles I can put on it before it gets loose.

[@oddtechman]

@@GingerOnWheels Thats fair enough and good to see. Many thanks for the reply bud. It was more of an observation against RevRides more than anything as a slight slip in their awesome standards

[@rwun]

I noticed the damper rubs against the front cable. Hope there will be no issues with the cable in the furture.

[@GingerOnWheels]

Yes me too. We will see what happens.

[@JulianRides]

Aye ginger I really like the varla eagle one pro um do u feel like the acceleration on it is the same as the vsett10+? I'm asking cause iv never ridden that new eagle one pro scooter.

[@Bigtechguy]

Can you fold the scooter with the damper installed?

[@chrigdichein]

What is you though on the Vsett might be more unstable in comparsion to other models? I had only driven the Ninebot Max before, and crashed my 10 when going over a small unnoticed shoulder where wheels left the ground and a typical slow speed scooter crash. Cracked a rib by the feel of things but nothing else, and I bought the dampener 😊

[@GingerOnWheels]

I don't think it's any less stable than other scooters with 10“ tires. It's only when riding one handed that I even notice it. With enough practice and the right technique you can easily ride any scooter without getting wobbles.

[@chrigdichein]

Yes, might be also depending on driver weight and hight... if weight os higher up or more down. Thanks for installing ahead, I ll give mine a try now

[@mickmaszt4485]

Is there such a thing as a universal damper? Im looking st some Chinese scooters like the leoout, thanks!

[@AJCoReTV]

Will this work on the new Kukirin G2 Master??

[@CrimsonCrackur]

@Ginger on Wheels - would you ever Consider replacing your finger throttle for a thumb throttle on the VSett 10+? Similar to the one you tested in your prior video? I am relatively new to the scooters, but I feel like the VSett can be a bit jerky when accelerating or letting go of the throttle.

[@GingerOnWheels]

If you think the VSETT is jerky then you just need to open up the P settings and adjust the acceleration control. Vsett is so smooth with those settings dialed down.

[@jacquelineascencio8720]

Love your videos keep up the good job

[@derrickbuehler4906]

Would anyone know if this product would fit an Apollo Ghost ? It looks like it would be a very similar mount. I haven`t come across anything else that is compatible.

[@johannviarjohannsson3223]

Approximately how long did you heat the bolts. Im having problem doing the same on my Vsett :)

[@GingerOnWheels]

Maybe 3-5 minutes on high

[@ZyphernX1705]

Is this possible for Mukuta 10+?

[@dantoppa1265]

Pretty sure my namis on 5 or 6 clicks up from minimum and works well its the same damper by the looks

[@GingerOnWheels]

Thanks for the tip. Wouldn't surprise me if it was a rebranded generic type damper. They are really expensive to design from scratch.

[@chrigdichein]

bought one on Ali weeks ago but discovered they are not ‘original Vsett’, so I ‘disputed’. Also they cost even more then a compleat wheel with motor inside. If you think about it... three lose alu parts and a low quality damper sourced on the MTB market, someone makes a fortune with the idea building the bracket. So... good idea but hugely overpriced. Not installed yet, might take some space on the board?

[@GingerOnWheels]

Not overpriced when it's FREE

[@chrigdichein]

[@DrWonderEyes]

The early version by evo design broke on mine. 🙄

[@wilsinbil9537]

Damn i installed mine wrong by putting the longer spacer above the damper instead of below good thing i cheaked that or i would be kindof dead

[@Fawke85]

Bro, the front bracket holes doesn’t line up with my scooter, your video shows the same, did you brute force it in?!

[@GingerOnWheels]

Yup. Just drove that bish in. I tried my hardest off camera to get them to fit but at the end of the day you just have to send it and hope for the best.

[@Fawke85]

@@GingerOnWheels lmao, i’ll try if i can sand the bracket a bit so it’ll sit closer before i’ll brute force it in,

[@damaribrackett1159]

Question So a steering damper is really just for stabilization but if you have a good foot placement/riding stance do you really need a steering damper I was riding in the streets on speed 2 when I first got the scooter(VERY DUMB IDEA ON MY PART) and had speed wobbles watched a couple KZbin videos and now I haven’t had speed wobbles since Ever since then I regularly check my tire pressure and I have a good stats and haven’t had speed wobbles so do I really need a steering damper or is it just for peace of mind

[@GingerOnWheels]

You I don't think it's needed. It's just an added security blanket for intermediate level riders. Maybe you saw in the end of my more recent vsett videos I was riding and carving and braking from full speed on the vsett 10+ with no issue at all.

[@damaribrackett1159]

@@GingerOnWheels ohhh ok thank you and I did see it love watching your videos btw

[@uria702]

It’s not “needed” but it’s nice to have. I don’t get much wobbles with my 10+ unless I ride two feet side by side. One thing about the 10+ is the deck is pretty short if you have long feet like size 11 or bigger. If you place your feet correctly, it won’t wobble. It will if you’re riding it like you would a scooter that goes 20mph. To ride this thing 40 or above you need to really pay attention to your stance

[@harrison00xXx]

Nice thing, but makes it obvious that your scooter will go VERY FAST. Nothing i would really do, at least here in europe with ridiculous limits such as 20-25km/h and about 350W mostly.

[@matthewbedient1525]

I would consider blue loctite, my good sir

[@Vmaxfodder]

😂 my new scooter design has inherent dampening. And a much better 4.5in suspension throw. In my opinion these are add on hacks. Its also sturdier, longer lasting, and mostly CHEAPER ! Scooters are becoming waayy too convoluted lately. I just got rid of most of that extra junk, and it works a lot better.

[@ihuliige6776]

I don't like how the cable and the damper go on the same side

[@GingerOnWheels]

Yeah I wasn't a fan of that at first either. When you stop and think about it though, the outward pressure on the damper from the cables is more likely to keep the larger 5mm screws tight. I can't see it ever damaging the cables, and your damper is perhaps less likely to come loose.

[@domingoblond]

Hey man, thanks for all the great videos!! Your review made me decide to go for vsett10+ 28amp. Its coming in few days now! Man am so hyped, don’t know would i go for dumper or not, have riding experience so I didn’t want to purchase it before i see how it is without it. Man am so hyped to jump on this beast!! Cheers! Ps. I will change steering wheel to some mountain bikes one aswell

You loose your licence mate 😂

[@AZN-4-LIFE-U]

Your front bushing is correct...the rear one is wrong/backward. 😉 The "metal bearing" let the outer part flex movements around it...you want the BEVEL part of the plastic bushing to go into that metal ring..that is how it "sink inside" to secure the installation between the (bolt, metal bearing, and plastic bushing)...bushing job is to "secure that bearing"...let the silver bearing do its job...once secured like I've mentioned...THE OUTER PART OF THAT SILVER RING ROTATES/FLEXES "AROUND" IT ! Therefore, you must sink the bevel ends INTO the silver ring! This is the instructions straight from the manufacturer. ae01.alicdn.com/kf/H6db30273f0784e4cb17fd198495699c8I.jpg ae01.alicdn.com/kf/H6dfea355c558473a8e002a1deb98173bg.jpg
