Varla Pegasus City Commuter Electric Scooter
The Eagle One Pro is an upgraded version of the top-selling two-wheeler model, called the Eagle One. Varla Pegasus City Commuter Electric Scooter. While the style has remained the same, the Eagle One Pro is more efficient, more powerful and comes with a bigger battery pack.
You know what you learned about Varla’s Eagle One and toss it out the window. It’s the Varla Eagle One Pro comes out and isn’t like the one it replaced. It’s not only about the 52% bigger battery, although that could have something to do with it–more on that later.
The Eagle One Pro is Varla’s first monster scooter and it’s likely that we’ll see a lot of top-quality high-performance scooters this year. This is a the context of Segway’s GT Series and the brand new Apollo Pro.
Varla’s Eagle One Pro sits on the line as an extremely light-weight scooter that borrows its specs of beast-scooters. It is heavier than resident lightweight heavier models Apollo Phantom, Vsett 10+ along with the Kaabo Mantis Pro, which weighs 79 pounds. It also has 11 inches of road tires that are typical of beast scooters such as Storm and Wolf King GT. Storm or Wolf King GT.

That’s not even the best part. The off-road scooter is priced at about $640 less than the closest competing beasts, Segways GT1 and the Wolf Warrior 11. Varla Pegasus City Commuter Electric Scooter.
Thanks to the large tires-something that you’re always hoping to hear about-the scooter is able to stand on the ground with a good clearance, with a total of 36 inches.

Acceleration
Varla Eagle Pro Varla Eagle Pro’s speed does not match that of lightweight heavyweight scooters. It is far superior. Varla Pegasus City Commuter Electric Scooter. It’s tested with an speed of 2.1 seconds, which is close to the 15 millimeters mark. This is what is typical of heavyweights from the past like those of Wolf Warrior 11 at 1.9 seconds, Dualtron Thunder at 2.0 seconds as well as the Dualtron Thunder II at 2.2 seconds. It is the Varla Eagle Pro’s only competition in the light-heavyweight category is that of the 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 means that it also shares similar dead zones. It is possible to locate an angle to secure your thumb in order to stabilize it and give it an ideal reference location when engaging.
Top Speed
We love our love for the Varla Eagle Pro’s top speed, especially for the price. The scooter manages a whopping forty mph top speed, which is much higher than the what is considered to be average when compared to others in the same price range. The higher-priced Kaabo Mantis Pro only hits 37 mph top speed, while the Inokim OXO, still at an expensive price, only reaches 36 mmh.
However, it also faces competition from lower-priced models like the Wolf Warrior X Pro which has an top speed at 43 mph and the similarly 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 to that of the first Dualtron Thunder.
Hill Climb
The Varla Eagle Pro electronic scooter is impressive for a lot of things, and hill-climbing is definitely one of them. The electric scooter can go up steep hills without losing any energy, and it does not seem to slow down when there are heavy riders or poor battery levels. During our 60 m hill test at a 10 percent gradient it was found that the scooter was able to keep an average speed of around 17 mph (and over) till approximately 10% of charge. Varla Pegasus City Commuter Electric Scooter.
The company credits the superb climb to the sturdy dual motors rated at 1000 W each, with a peak power of 2600 W. Varla claims that the motors produce the equivalent of 36 Nm of torque, which is enough to propel the scooter up gradients of up to 35deg.
Range
There is nothing better than good mileage on the scooter, and this Varla Eagle One Pro scooter offers a decent distance of 58 kilometers in its tested range. The only scooter that is within the $400 range of that of the Eagle One Pro that can outdo it in the distance is Wolf Warrior X Pro, with a test range that was 41 miles. It outran other scooters with higher prices, e.g., the Kaabo Mantis Pro with a 33 miles of range. Dualtron Eagle Pro at 32 miles and Vsett 10+ at 33 miles.
The battery behind the range is a large capacity battery of 60V 24 Ah that has 1440 Wh of power. It’s bigger and more efficient with 21700 battery cells. This is a step up from the predecessor, called the Eagle One, whose battery was classified at 946 wh, and came with only 18650 lithium cells. Both batteries integrate intelligent battery management systems that keep the battery in good condition. Charge the battery up to capacity can take between 8 and 9 hours, however you can purchase an additional charger to reduce charge time to about 4-5 hours.
Braking
Let’s face it; we would prefer that all scooters came with hydraulic brakes. That’s not to say that electric scooters with cable brakes are dangerous or undependable when it comes to stopping. Absolutely not. Actually, the cable brakes plus EABS in the Varla Eagle Pro have a proven braking power that is truly remarkable and simple to set up. Varla Pegasus City Commuter Electric Scooter.
The e-scooter can stop in only 3 meters from the speed of 15 mph. This is in line with that of the Vsett 10, which is 10+. The Varla Eagle Pro’s stopping power outdoes those of the Kaabo Wolf King, Kaabo Wolf Warrior X Pro, NAMI Burn-E, as well as Nami BURN-E2.
It’s possible that you don’t like squeezing the levers that are powered by cables on the Varla Eagle Pro the way you would do on an electric scooter that has hydraulic brakes but the Pro’s disc brakes leave nothing to be desired when it comes to performance.
The EABS prevents the brakes from locking up. They are adjustable using the P-settings that are displayed on the display. You can adjust them between 0 and 2, which means 0 is the weak setting and 2 is for a high setting.
Ride Quality
The ride quality is acceptable however it’s not the best. The caveat they never mention when advertising all-terrain electric scooters is that priority falls on the off-roading measures.
The pneumatic road tires with no tube are excellent for comfort, particularly when riding offroad. Their tubeless nature is great for avoiding pinch flats that are caused by rocks. If, however, you’re buying the scooter to use primarily on city tracks, then it’s better to switch to self-sealing, tubeless knobby tires. They will automatically increase your traction, retain your comfort, and decrease maintenance. Also, thanks to the tires and 17 centimeter ground clearance obstructions in the track will not scratch the deck beneath.
The suspension is hard. It’s a bit stiff. Varla Eagle Pro would have been better off with adjustable shocks or an existing spring with lower spring rates. However, the stiff setup is effective when taking on large bumps, and prevents the scooter from bottoming out. When the tracks are well maintained the suspension is somewhat bouncy for the comfort.
The Eagle Pro also comes with an inbuilt steering damper. At high speeds along straight tracks riders will enjoy excellent stability. At top speed, the stability isn’t as good as the stability offered by dual stem monsters such as the Wolf King GT but rather appears to be the Dualtron Thunder or Nami Burn equipped with a steering damper. On the downside, the damper for steering also makes it so that drivers will have to push harder on the handlebars when negotiating turns.
The deck is yet another area to be concerned about. It is too short and due to this lack of usable deck real estate it is a constant struggle for riders to place the back foot on the footrest which isn’t ergonomically designed. One bright spot to this model is that Varla Eagle Pro compensates for its poor posture with an excellently laid-out and comfortable cockpit that is comfortable to hold. It was designed to be comfortable and convenience. Its controls have been also ergonomically designed and compliment the large, well-lit 9 centimeter screen.
Overall, between the hefty steering feel and the athletic riding stance, and the intense acceleration, the Eagle One Pro is exhilarating to ride but could also be workout when you’re riding hard.
