VSETT 10+ Electric Scooter | Eliminating Steering Creak 

Where was your creek coming from

We're glad this helps!

You're welcome! While the factory lube may suffice for a while, it always helps to do this as part of ownership and maintenance.

Hi how did it go? I got the same problem

Rev rides recommends 80ft lbs

Yes, similar on the VSETT 9 series as well.

I'll answer my own question. It was the front suspension, must have been too tight from factory. I loosen it slightly and no more loud creak. Hopefully this can help someone with this same issue.

@@escoot_nyc1651 be careful because too loose and you risk speed wobbles. Unfortunately I have been messed with this for a month and the end result…I’m replacing the suspension with air shocks. The stock springs are not properly hardened or I got a bad batch because I’ve lost half my travel on them trying to maintain a consistent resistance. Unfortunately that noise doesn’t go away for long as well. I’m pretty sure they cut corners on the parts like those shocks to keep costs as low as possible so I would probably expect to change them out at some point. Air or oil with rebound dampers 👍

@@strive4208 Thanks for the advice. I just slightly loosen mine and after about 100mi still good no creak no wobbles even at 45mph. In my experience the long main stem bolt had more to do with speed wobbles. (Too tight wobbles, too loose wobbles) I got it just right and used a paint marker to mark the spot. Even though I was told by rev rides to torque it down to 80ft lbs, I found this method to work best. No creak no wobbles. Suspension is ok but definitely upgrading to oil in future. Scoot Safe.

@@escoot_nyc1651 how did you loosen it?

Yes mine to ..did you find a solution?

@@15recap ya, just kept hitting lol. Took some time.

Not necessarily. But if you can't turn properly, it's usually an indication of a steering bearing issue.

Finally it worked. I had to wobble the steering wheel back and forth and pull up at the same time. Lots of dust and rust and a little jammed. Thank you for the video!

@@Freezlot yes I'm getting this issue tooo trying to use ur method now. Send help

@@dizlergaming7685 Grab the steering wheel, put your foot on and slowly swing the steering column itself forward and backward, slowly pull up and continue to rock. Just make sure all the bolts are unscrewed!

This is a foldable electric scooter. It's supposed to fold. It's an actual feature of this scooter.

@@UrbanMachina yes i understand, i just mean to say that this feature is focused too much in this industry. when r designers gonna realize that a foldable stem, no matter how safe and/or secure is still not as secure as a solid piece and thats what these monster scooters need. this r monstrous machines with crazy power and there have been too many cases of stems braking and almost always its from the folding mech. high end scooters need to stop being foldable. the overall performance will be way better and the scooter will also be way safer. folding stems r ok for lower end scooters that dont have multiple kw's of peak power but for these beasts, they r too fast to also be foldable. ur never gonna see a tour de france competitor race on a bicycle that can fold.

@@okdok3742 we totally get your argument. This class of product started as a last mile solution, and then riders wanted more power, more range. At some point, they might as well be motorbikes. The folding feature in general, and for all scooters needs to be improved. It simply makes a vehicle more portable. The power on the other hand, is always in the hands of the rider. You can make anything faster these days. If you're riding a foldable scooter at motorbike speeds, then you need to be prepared for the worst that can happen.

@@UrbanMachina no no, no argument for me and ur completely correct. scooters did start out as last mile solutions "xiaomi" im just saying, like u said, "they may as well be motorbikes" which is so true. if these r gonna have the speeds of motorbikes then they should be designed with safety first and then portability. we both have the right points.

@@okdok3742 absolutely!

Definitely one of the better folding mechanisms we've seen out there.
