Varla Customer Service
The Eagle One Pro is an upgraded version of the top-selling two-wheeler model, the Eagle One. Varla Customer Service. The model has largely stayed the same but the Eagle One Pro is more efficient, more powerful, and has a larger battery pack.
You know what you learned about Varla’s Eagle One and toss it out the window. The Varla Eagle One is here and isn’t like the one it replaced. It’s not only about the 52% larger battery, even though it has some significance–more about that in the near future.
The Eagle One Pro is Varla’s first beast scooter and it appears there will be a lot of top-quality high-performance scooters this year. This is in the context of Segway’s GT Series and the brand new Apollo Pro.
Varla’s Eagle One Pro sits on the fence as it’s a light weight scooter with specs borrowed from beast scooters. It surpasses the weight of the local light weights Apollo Phantom, Vsett 10+ along with the Kaabo Mantis Pro, which weighs 79 lbs. Additionally, it also has 11 inches of road tires that are typical of beast scooters such as Storm and Wolf King GT. Storm and Wolf King GT.
The Varla Eagle One Pro scooter is also impressive with a well above average top speed per dollar, an impressive range per pound, and great braking per dollar. This isn’t even the most impressive part. This off-road scooter is priced at about $640 less than the closest competing beasts, Segways GT1 and the Wolf Warrior 11. Varla Customer Service.
Because of the big tires-something you always want to hear about-the scooter offers a great ground clearance of more than 36 inches. They are also excellent for traction, however they could be improved. The suspension is stiff and bouncy when riding city trails. However, the stiffness comes in handy when traveling 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 speed isn’t typical of lighter heavyweight scooters, it is far superior. Varla Customer Service. It is tested to have an acceleration of 2.1 seconds to the 15 mmh mark. This is the performance expected of veteran heavyweight scooters such as that of the Wolf Warrior 11 at 1.9 seconds, Dualtron Thunder at 2.0 seconds and the Dualtron Thunder II at 2.2 seconds. This is because the Varla Eagle Pro’s only competition in the light heavyweight class is Vsett 10+. Vsett 10+ with a 1.9 seconds acceleration to 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 similar dead zones. You may want to consider finding an angle that will anchor your thumb to ensure stability and provide it an ideal reference location when engaged.
Top Speed
We are awestruck by this Varla Eagle Pro’s top speed, especially for its price. The scooter boasts a whopping 40 mph top speed, which is a lot higher than what is considered to be average when compared to others in the same price range. The more expensive Kaabo Mantis Pro only hits 37 mph top speed, while the Inokim OXO, still at the higher cost is only able to reach 36 mmh.
However, it also has competition from cheaper models like the Wolf Warrior X Pro which achieves an top speed of 43 mph, while the similar priced Vsett 10+ reaches 43,5 mph.
In its weight class it is a scooter can be found in a class of its own. It also compares with the original Dualtron Thunder.
Hill Climb
Its Varla Eagle Pro electric scooter is amazing for a variety of things, and hill-climbing is definitely one of the best. This electric scooter can climb hills without losing too much power, and it does not seem to slow down when there are heavy riders or low battery conditions. During our 60 m hill climb at 10% slope, the scooter was able to maintain a speed of around 17 mph (and over) up to approximately 10% of charge. Varla Customer Service.
The manufacturer credits the impeccable hill-climbing ability to the strong dual motors rated at 1000W each, and a peak power of 2600 W. Varla claims that the motors generate an impressive 36 Nm of torque, which is enough to push the scooter upwards up to 35deg.
Range
Nothing beats the good miles on a scooter which is why this Varla Eagle One Pro scooter offers a decent 58 kilometers of tested range. The only scooter that is within the $400 range of that of the Eagle One Pro that can beat it on the range is the Wolf Warrior X Pro, with a test range to 41 miles. It outran other scooters that cost more, e.g., the Kaabo Mantis Pro with a 33 mile distance, Dualtron Eagle Pro at 32 miles and Vsett 10+ at 33 miles.
Behind the range is a high capacity, 60V 24 Ah battery that has 1440 Wh of power. It’s larger and more energy-dense with 21700 battery cells. It’s a leap from the predecessor, called that of the Eagle One, whose battery was classified at 946 wh, and came with only 18650 lithium cell. Both batteries have smart battery management systems to ensure that the battery’s life is not compromised. Charging the battery to capacity takes 8-9 hrs, however, you can get another charger, and cut down the charge times to around 4 to 5 hours.
Braking
Let’s face it, we would prefer that all scooters came with hydraulic brakes. That’s not to say that electric scooters equipped with cable brakes are dangerous or insecure when they need to stop. Absolutely not. In fact the cable brakes as well as EABS on the Varla Eagle Pro offer proven braking power that is truly exceptional and simple to set up. Varla Customer Service.
The electric scooter stops in 3 meters from a speed that is 15 mph. This is in line with Vsett 10+. Vsett 10, which is 10+. The Varla Eagle’s stopping power is superior to Kaabo Wolf King, the Kaabo Wolf King, Kaabo Wolf Warrior X Pro, NAMI Burn-E, as well as Nami BURN-E2.
You may not enjoy squeezing the levers that are powered by cables in the Varla Eagle Pro the way you would do on an electric scooter with hydraulic brakes, but the Pro’s disc brakes don’t leave much to be desired when it comes to performance.
The EABS will stop the brakes from locking. They are adjustable using the P-settings that are displayed on the display. They can be adjusted in between zero and two, with 0 being an insufficient setting, while 2 is a stronger setting.
Ride Quality
The ride quality is good however it’s not the best. The caveat they never mention when advertising all-terrain electric scooters is that the primary focus should be on off-roading features.
The pneumatic road tires that are tubeless are excellent for comfort, especially when traveling offroad. The tubeless nature of these tires is ideal to avoid pinch flats caused by rocks. If, however, you’re buying the scooter to ride primarily off urban tracks, you’d be better off switching to self-sealing, knobby tires. These would automatically double the traction of your scooter, maintain your comfort, and reduce maintenance. Also, thanks to the tires and 17 centimeter ground clearance obstructions on the track will not cause damage to the underdeck
The suspension is stiff. It’s a bit stiff. Varla Eagle Pro would benefit more from adjustable shocks, or by adjusting the spring to a lower spring rate. But the rigid setup is efficient when dealing with large bumps and keeps the scooter from bottoming out. 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 an inbuilt steering damper. In high-speed as well as straight track, users can enjoy a great stability. At top speed, the stability doesn’t match the stability of dual stem beasts like those on the Wolf King GT but rather feels like a Dualtron Thunder or Nami Burn equipped with a steering damper. The downside is that the damper for steering also makes it so that drivers be forced to work harder on the bar handles when negotiating turns.
The deck is another cause of concern. It’s too small and due to this lack of usable deck real estate the riders are forced to place the back foot on the footrest, which isn’t ergonomically designed. The only bright side is the Varla Eagle Pro compensates for a poor stance with an excellently laid-out and comfortable cockpit that is comfortable on your hands. It was designed to be comfortable and convenience. Controls are also ergonomically designed and compliment the well-readable, large 9 centimeter display.
Overall, between the heavy feeling of the steering and the athletic riding stance and the rumbling acceleration, the Eagle One Pro is exhilarating to ride but could also be a bit of workout when you’re riding hard.
