Scooter Varla
The Eagle One Pro is an upgraded version of the top-selling two-wheeler model, the Eagle One. Scooter Varla. While the style has remained the same but The Eagle One Pro is more efficient, more powerful and features a larger battery pack.
Take what you knew about Varla’s Eagle One and toss it out the window. The Varla Eagle One Pro comes here, and it is nothing like the one it replaced. It’s not just about the larger 52% battery, though that has some significance–more on that to come.
The Eagle One Pro is Varla’s first monster scooter, and it seems we’ll see plenty of top-quality high-performance scooters this season. This is in reference to Segway’s GT Series and the brand new Apollo Pro.
Varla’s Eagle One Pro sits on the line as a light heavyweight scooter with borrowed specs of beast-scooters. It surpasses the weight of its light heavier models Apollo Phantom, Vsett 10+ along with the Kaabo Mantis Pro, which weighs 79 lbs. And, it also features 11 inches road tires that are typical of beast scooters like the Storm or Wolf King GT.
It’s a great scooter. Varla Eagle One Pro scooter is also remarkable with a far over the norm top speed in dollars, a remarkable distance per pound and excellent braking for every dollar. This isn’t even the most impressive aspect. The off-road scooter is about $640 cheaper than the closest competing beasts, Segways GT1 and the Wolf Warrior 11. Scooter Varla.
Due to the huge tires-something you always want to hear about-the scooter is able to stand on the ground with a good clearance, with a total of 36 inches. They are also good for traction, however they could be improved. The suspension feels stiff and bouncy on city trails. However, the stiffness comes in handy when traveling off-road. However, you may not be a fan of the narrow deck or uncomfortable kickplate, especially when riding off-road.

Acceleration
It is the Varla Eagle Pro’s acceleration is not typical of light heavyweight scooters-it is much more powerful. Scooter Varla. It’s tested with an acceleration rate of 2.1 seconds, which is close to the 15 mmh mark. This is what is expected of veteran heavyweight scooters such as that of the Wolf Warrior 11 at 1.9 seconds, Dualtron Thunder at 2.0 seconds, as well as it’s Dualtron Thunder II at 2.2 seconds. This is because the Varla Eagle Pro’s sole competition in the light heavyweight category will be the Vsett 10+ with a 1.9 seconds acceleration 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 that it also shares identical dead zones. You might want to find an angle to anchor your thumb in order to ensure stability and provide it an ideal reference location when engaging.
Top Speed
We’re awestruck with our love for the Varla Eagle Pro’s top speed, especially for its price tag. The scooter boasts a whopping forty mph top speed, which is a lot higher than average when it is compared with other scooters in the same price range. The higher-priced Kaabo Mantis Pro only hits a 37 mph top speed, while the Inokim OXO, still at an expensive price is only able to reach 36 mmh.
However, it also has competition from cheaper models like those of Wolf Warrior X Pro which manages a top speed at 43 mph, while the similar priced Vsett 10+ reaches 43,5 mph.
In terms of weight, the scooter is in a league of its own and is comparable to its predecessor, the Dualtron Thunder.
Hill Climb
The Varla Eagle Pro electric scooter is impressive for a lot of things, and hill-climbing is definitely one of the most impressive. The electric scooter can go up hills without losing too much power, and isn’t slowing down on heavy riders or low battery conditions. In our 60-meter hill test at a 10% slope and a 10% gradient, the scooter was able to maintain an average speed that was around 17 mph (and over) till approximately 10% of charge. Scooter Varla.
The company credits the superb hill-climbing ability to the strong dual motors that are rated at 1000W each, with a peak power of 2600W. Varla claims that the motors produce 36 Nm or torque sufficient to propel the scooter upwards up to 35deg.
Range
Nothing beats good mileage on a scooter and this Varla Eagle Pro scooter has a reasonable 58 km of range tested. The only scooter that is within the $400 range from its Eagle One Pro that can beat it on the range is the Wolf Warrior X Pro, with a test range to 41 miles. It beat out other scooters with higher prices, e.g., the Kaabo Mantis Pro with a 33 mile distance, Dualtron Eagle Pro at 32 miles, and Vsett 10+ with 33 miles.
Behind the range lies a high capacity 60V 24 Ah battery with 1440 Wh of energy. It’s larger and more efficient with 21700 cell batteries. This is a step up from its predecessor, that of the Eagle One, whose battery was valued at 946 wh and only came with 18650 lithium cell. Both batteries are equipped with intelligent battery management systems that keep the battery in good condition. Charging the battery to capacity takes between 8 and 9 hours but you can secure another charger, and cut down the charging time to 4 to 5 hours.
Braking
We wish all scooters had hydraulic brakes. That’s not to say that electric scooters that have cable brakes are unsafe or undependable when they come to stopping. Absolutely not. Actually the cable brakes and EABS in Varla Eagle Pro Varla Eagle Pro feature tested braking force that is truly impressive and very easy to use. Scooter Varla.
The electric scooter stops in 3 meters from the speed of 15 mph. This performance is in line with Vsett 10+. Vsett 10+. The Varla Eagle Pro’s stopping strength is better than 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 on the Varla Eagle Pro like you would with an electric scooter with hydraulic brakes, however, the Pro’s mechanical disc brakes leave nothing on the table when they perform.
The EABS prevents that the brakes aren’t locking up. They are adjustable via the P-settings that are displayed on the display. You can adjust them from 0 to 2, with 0 being a weak setting, and 2 is for a high setting.
Ride Quality
Its ride is acceptable however, it’s not exceptional. The only thing they don’t talk about when talking about all-terrain e-scooters is that priority falls on the off-roading measures.
The pneumatic road tires that are tubeless are great for comfort, especially when traveling offroad. Their tubeless design is perfect for avoiding pinch flats that are caused by rocks. If, however, you’re buying the scooter for use mostly on urban tracks, you’re better off changing to self-sealing, tubeless knobby tires. These will instantly increase your traction, retain your comfort, and reduce maintenance. Additionally, due to the tires and the 17 centimeter ground clearance, obstacles on the track won’t cause damage to the deck beneath.
The suspension system feels stiff. The Varla Eagle Pro would have benefited more from adjustable shocks, or by adjusting the spring to less spring force. However, the stiff setup is efficient when handling large bumps and keeps the scooter from falling off. When the tracks are well maintained the suspension is a little too bouncy for comfort.
It is also equipped with a steering damper. Eagle Pro also comes with a built-in steering damper. In high-speed and straight tracks, riders will experience excellent stability. At top speed the stability isn’t as good as that of dual stem beasts like Wolf King GT. Wolf King GT but rather appears to be a Dualtron Thunder or Nami Burn with a steering damper installed. The downside is that the steering damper also implies that the riders have to push harder on the bar handles when negotiating turns.
The deck is another cause of concern. It is too short and due to this lack of deck real estate, riders are constantly forced to place the back foot on the footrest that isn’t ergonomically designed. The only bright side to this model is that Varla Eagle Pro makes up for a poor stance with an excellently laid-out and comfortable cockpit that is easy to use. It was designed to be comfortable and user-friendliness. The controls are also ergonomically designed and complement the well-readable, large 9 centimeter screen.
Overall, between the heavy steering feel, the sporty riding stance and the fast acceleration, the Eagle One Pro is exhilarating to ride but can also be an exercise when you’re racing hard.
