Flawed Varla

The Eagle One Pro is an upgraded version of the manufacturer’s top-selling two-wheeler model, called the Eagle One. Flawed Varla.  Although the design has pretty much stayed the same but the Eagle One Pro is more efficient, more powerful and comes with a bigger battery pack.

You know what you learned concerning Varla’s Eagle One and toss it out the window. It’s the Varla Eagle One Pro is out and isn’t like the one it replaced. It’s not only about the larger 52% battery, even though it has something to do with it–more on that to come.

The Eagle One Pro is Varla’s first monster scooter and it’s likely that we’ll see a lot of high-performance, flagship scooters this year. This is a reference to Segway’s GT Series and the brand new Apollo Pro.

Varla’s Eagle One Pro sits on the edge of being a light heavyweight scooter with specs borrowed from beast scooters. It is heavier than resident light weights Apollo Phantom, Vsett 10+, and Kaabo Mantis Pro, which weighs 79lbs. And, it also has 11 inches of road tires, which is typical of beast scooters such as the Storm and Wolf King GT.

The Varla Eagle One Pro scooter is also impressive with a well above average top speed in dollars, an impressive range per pound, as well as excellent braking for every dollar. That’s not even the best part. The off-road scooter costs about $640 less than the closest competing beasts, Segways GT1 and the Wolf Warrior 11. Flawed Varla.

Thanks to the large tires-something you always want to hear-the scooter is able to stand on the ground with a good clearance of more than 36 inches. They’re also excellent for traction, but could be better. The suspension is stiff and bouncy when riding city trails, but the stiffness is useful when driving off-road. However, you may not be a fan of the shorter deck or the uncomfortable kickplate, especially when riding off-road.

Acceleration

The Varla Eagle Pro’s acceleration isn’t typical of lightweight heavyweight scooters. It is so much better. Flawed Varla. It has a tested acceleration rate of 2.1 seconds, which is close to the 15 millimeters mark. This is what is you would expect from heavyweights with a long history like that of the Wolf Warrior 11 at 1.9 seconds, Dualtron Thunder at 2.0 seconds as well as Dualtron Thunder II at 2.2 seconds. Dualtron Thunder II at 2.2 seconds. This is because the Varla Eagle Pro’s only competition in the light heavyweight category is Vsett 10+. Vsett 10+ with a 1.9 seconds of acceleration, accelerating between 15 and 15 mph.

It is worth noting that the Eagle One Pro uses the same throttle as the NAMI and Wolf King GT, which means it also shares similar dead zones. You might want to find an angle to anchor your thumb to ensure stability and provide it a reference point when engaged.

Top Speed

We’re awestruck with our love for the Varla Eagle Pro’s top speed, especially for its price tag. The scooter has a staggering forty mph top speed, which is well above average when it is compared with other scooters within the same price range. The higher-priced Kaabo Mantis Pro only hits 37 mph top speed, while the Inokim OXO, still at a higher price, only reaches 36 mmh.

However, it also is competing with lower models, such as that of the Wolf Warrior X Pro which achieves an top speed at 43 mph as opposed to the similar priced Vsett 10+ reaches 43,5 mph.

In terms of weight it is a scooter is in a league of its own. It also compares to that of the first Dualtron Thunder.

Hill Climb

Its Varla Eagle Pro scooter is amazing for a variety of things but hill-climbing is one of the most impressive. This electric scooter will go up the hills without losing power, and it doesn’t seem to let up when there are heavy riders or low battery situations. When we conducted our 60-meter hill test with a 10 percent gradient, the scooter was able to maintain an average speed of 17 mph (and over) till around 10% charge. Flawed Varla.

The company attributes the impressive hill climbing to the robust dual motors rated at 1000W each and a peak power of 2600W. Varla claims that the motors generate the equivalent of 36 Nm of torque, sufficient to push the scooter through hills of up to 35deg.

Range

Nothing beats the good miles on the scooter, and the Varla Eagle Pro scooter has a reasonable 58 km of range tested. Interestingly, the only scooter that is within the $400 range of the Eagle One Pro that can beat it on the range is the Wolf Warrior X Pro, which has a range tested that was 41 miles. It beat other scooters with higher prices, e.g., the Kaabo Mantis Pro with a 33 mile distance, Dualtron Eagle Pro at 32 miles, along with the Vsett 10+ with 33 miles.

Behind the range is a high capacity battery of 60V 24 Ah with 1440 Wh of energy. It’s larger and more energy-dense with 21700 battery cells. This is an improvement from the predecessor, called the Eagle One, whose battery was valued at 946 wh and came with only 18650 lithium cells. Both batteries have intelligent battery management systems that keep the battery in good condition. Charge the battery up to capacity takes between 8 and 9 hours however you can purchase an additional charger to reduce charging time to 4-5 hours.

Braking

Let’s face it; we would like to see all scooters have hydraulic brakes. That’s not to say that electric scooters equipped with cable brakes are unsafe or unreliable when they need to stop. Absolutely not. Actually the cable brakes as well as EABS on Varla Eagle Pro Varla Eagle Pro have a tested braking power that is truly exceptional and simple to set up. Flawed Varla.

The electric scooter stops in 3 meters from the speed of 15 mph. The performance is comparable with the Vsett 10+. In addition, the Varla Eagle’s stopping power outdoes Kaabo Wolf King, the Kaabo Wolf King, Kaabo Wolf Warrior X Pro, NAMI Burn-E, and Nami BURN-E2.

It’s not as fun to squeeze the cable-actuated levers in the Varla Eagle Pro the way you would do on an electric scooter that has hydraulic brakes but the Pro’s mechanical disc brakes don’t leave much in the dust when they perform.

The EABS stops that the brakes aren’t locking. They are adjustable via the P-settings that are displayed on the display. They can be adjusted from 0 to 2 where 0 is on an insufficient setting, while 2 is for a high setting.

Ride Quality

Ride quality can be described as good however it’s not the best. One thing they do not talk about when advertising all-terrain electric scooters is that priority falls on the off-roading measures.

The tubeless pneumatic road tires are excellent for comfort, especially when driving offroad. Their tubeless nature is great for evading pinch flats from rocks. But, if you’re using the scooter to use primarily on city tracks, then it’s better to switch to self-sealing knobby tires. These will instantly increase your traction, retain your comfort and cut down on maintenance. In addition, because of the tires and 17 centimeter ground clearance obstructions on the track will not cause damage to the deck beneath.

The suspension is hard. The Varla Eagle Pro could benefit more from adjustable shocks or an existing spring with a lower spring rate. But the rigid setup is effective when handling large bumps and stops the scooter from bottoming out. If the track is well maintained, the suspension feels a little too bouncy for the comfort.

The Eagle Pro also comes with an inbuilt steering damper. When driving at high speeds along straight tracks users will experience excellent stability. At top speed the stability does not equal the stability of dual stem beasts such as those on the Wolf King GT but rather appears to be a Dualtron Thunder or Nami Burn with a steering damper installed. However, the damper for steering also makes it so that drivers be forced to work harder on the bar handles when trying to negotiate turns.

The deck is another point of concern. It is too short and due to this lack of usable deck real estate it is a constant struggle for riders to rest their back feet on the footrest which is not ergonomically designed. One bright spot is the Varla Eagle Pro makes up for the sloppy stance by providing a well-laid-out cockpit that is easy to use. It is designed for comfort and convenience. Its controls are also ergonomically designed and compliment the well-readable, large 9 centimeter screen.

Overall, between the hefty feeling of the steering as well as the sporty riding posture and the fast acceleration The Eagle One Pro is exhilarating to ride, but it can also be a bit of a workout when you’re riding hard.
