Varla Eagle 1
The Eagle One Pro is an upgraded version of the top-selling two-wheeler model, the Eagle One. Varla Eagle 1. While the model has largely stayed the same but The Eagle One Pro is more efficient, more powerful and features a larger battery.
Take what you knew about Varla’s Eagle One and toss it out the window. Varla’s new Varla Eagle One is out, and it is nothing like the one it replaced. It’s not only about the larger 52% battery, though that has some connection to it. More on that to come.
The Eagle One Pro is Varla’s first monster scooter, and it seems there will be a lot of top-quality high-performance scooters in the coming season. 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 a light heavyweight scooter with specs borrowed of beast-scooters. It’s heavier than resident light heavyweights Apollo Phantom, Vsett 10+ as well as the Kaabo Mantis Pro, which weighs 79 pounds. Additionally, 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 remarkable with a far above average top speed for a dollar. It also has an a remarkable performance per pound as well as excellent brakes per dollar. This isn’t even the most impressive aspect. This off-road scooter is priced at about $640 less than the closest competing beasts, Segways GT1 and the Wolf Warrior 11. Varla Eagle 1.
Due to the huge tires-something you always want to hear-the scooter is able to stand on the ground with a good clearance at over 36 inches. They are also excellent for traction, however they could be improved. The suspension feels stiff and bouncy for city trails, but the stiffness can be useful when riding off-road. However, you may not be a fan of the shorter deck or the uncomfortable kickplate, especially off-road.

Acceleration
Varla Eagle Pro Varla Eagle Pro’s acceleration does not match that of lightweight heavyweight scooters. It is so much better. Varla Eagle 1. It’s tested with an speed of 2.1 seconds to the 15 mmh mark. This is the speed that’s expected of veteran heavyweight scooters such as the Wolf Warrior 11 at 1.9 seconds, Dualtron Thunder at 2.0 seconds and the Dualtron Thunder II at 2.2 seconds. It is the Varla Eagle Pro’s only competition in the light heavyweight class includes Vsett 10+. Vsett 10+ with a 1.9 seconds of acceleration, accelerating from 15 to mph.
It is worth noting that the Eagle One Pro uses the same throttle as the NAMI and Wolf King GT, which implies 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 engaging.
Top Speed
We love this Varla Eagle Pro’s top speed, especially for its price tag. The scooter has a staggering 40 mph top speed, which is well above average when contrasted with other scooters that are in the same price bracket. The higher-priced Kaabo Mantis Pro only hits 37 mph top speed, while the Inokim OXO, still at the higher cost, only reaches 36 mmh.
However, it also faces competition from lower-priced models such as the Wolf Warrior X Pro which has an top speed of 43 mph as opposed to the similar priced Vsett 10+ reaches 43,5 mph.
In its weight class, the scooter is in a league of its own. It also can be compared with its predecessor, the Dualtron Thunder.
Hill Climb
Its Varla Eagle Pro electric scooter is amazing for a variety of things but hill-climbing is one of the most impressive. The electric scooter can climb steep hills without losing any power, and it isn’t slowing down with heavy riders or in poor battery levels. In our 60-meter hill test at a 10% slope it was found that the scooter could maintain an average speed that was around 17 mph (and over) till approximately 10% of charge. Varla Eagle 1.
The company credits the superb climb to the sturdy twin motors, rated at 1000W each with a peak power of 2600W. Varla claims that the motors produce 36 Nm or torque which is enough to push the scooter through hills of up to 35deg.
Range
Nothing beats the good miles on an electric scooter, and it’s true that the Varla Eagle Pro electric scooter offers a decent distance of 58 kilometers in its tested range. Interestingly, the only scooter less than $400 from that of the Eagle One Pro that can outdo it in the scale is the Wolf Warrior X Pro, which has a range tested that was 41 miles. It outran other scooters that cost more, e.g., the Kaabo Mantis Pro with a 33 miles range, Dualtron Eagle Pro at 32 miles, and Vsett 10+ with 33 miles.
Behind the range is a high capacity battery of 60V 24 Ah with 1440 Wh of energy. It is larger and more efficient with 21700 cells in the battery. This is a step up from its predecessor, it was the Eagle One, whose battery was valued at 946 wh and came with only 18650 lithium cells. Both batteries have smart battery management systems to keep the battery in good condition. The process of charging the battery to its capacity takes between 8 and 9 hours but you can secure another charger, and cut down the charge times to around 4 to 5 hours.
Braking
We would like to see all scooters have hydraulic brakes. However, that doesn’t mean electric scooters with cable brakes are dangerous or insecure when they need to stop. Absolutely not. Actually the cable brakes and EABS on Varla Eagle Pro Varla Eagle Pro offer tested braking power that is truly exceptional and very easy to use. Varla Eagle 1.
The electric scooter stops in 3 meters from an approximate speed that is 15 mph. This is in line with Vsett 10+. Vsett 10+. The Varla Eagle’s stopping strength is better than Kaabo Wolf King, the Kaabo Wolf King, Kaabo Wolf Warrior X Pro, NAMI Burn-E, and Nami BURN-E2.
You may not enjoy squeezing the levers with cable action on the Varla Eagle Pro like you would with an electric scooter that has hydraulic brakes but the Pro’s mechanical disc brakes leave nothing to be desired when they perform.
The EABS stops that the brakes aren’t locking up. They can be adjusted using the P-settings 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
The ride quality is acceptable however, it’s not exceptional. The only thing they don’t discuss when promoting all-terrain e-scooters is that priority falls on the off-roading measures.
The tubeless pneumatic road tires are great for comfort, especially when traveling offroad. Their tubeless design is perfect to avoid pinch flats caused by rocks. However, if you’re getting the scooter to ride primarily off roads, then you’d be better off switching to self-sealing, tubeless knobby tires. They will automatically increase your traction, retain your comfort and cut down on maintenance. Additionally, due to the tires and 17 centimeter clearance on the ground, obstacles in the track will not cause damage to the underdeck
The suspension system feels hard. It’s a bit stiff. Varla Eagle Pro could have been better off with adjustable shocks or an existing spring with lower spring rates. The stiff suspension works well when handling large bumps and stops the scooter from bottoming out. When the tracks are well maintained, the suspension feels 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, riders will enjoy excellent stability. At top speed the stability doesn’t match the stability from dual-stem beasts such as Wolf King GT. Wolf King GT but rather is more like a Dualtron Thunder or Nami Burn with a steering damper installed. However, the damper on the steering also makes it so that drivers will need to exert more force on the handlebars when negotiating turns.
The deck is another cause to be concerned about. It’s too narrow, and with this shortage of usable deck real estate the riders are forced to place the back foot on the footrest that isn’t ergonomically designed. The only bright side is the Varla Eagle Pro makes up for its poor posture with an excellently laid-out and comfortable cockpit that is easy on your hands. It’s designed to provide comfort and ease of use. The controls can be also ergonomically designed and compliment the clear, large 9 centimeter screen.
Overall, between the heavy feeling of the steering and the athletic riding stance, and the intense acceleration, the Eagle One Pro is exhilarating to ride, but it could also be an exercise when you’re on the road for a long time.
