Varla Pegasus Electric Scooter
The Eagle One Pro is an upgraded version of the manufacturer’s most popular two-wheeler, which is the Eagle One. Varla Pegasus Electric Scooter. The style has remained the same but it’s the Eagle One Pro is more powerful, faster and comes with a bigger battery pack.
You know what you learned about Varla’s Eagle One and toss it out the window. Varla’s new Varla Eagle One is now available and it’s nothing like the one it replaced. It’s not only about the larger 52% battery, although that could have some connection to it. More about that in the near future.
The Eagle One Pro is Varla’s first monster scooter, and it seems we’ll see a lot of flagship 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 line as a light heavyweight scooter that borrows its specs taken from the beast scooters. It surpasses the weight of resident light weights Apollo Phantom, Vsett 10+ and Kaabo Mantis Pro, which weighs 79lbs. It also comes with 11 inches road tires that are typical of beast scooters such as Storm and Wolf King GT. Storm and Wolf King GT.
It’s a great scooter. Varla Eagle One Pro scooter is also amazing with a way above average top speed per dollar, exceptional range per pound, and great braking for every dollar. This isn’t even the most impressive aspect. The off-road scooter costs about $640 less than its closest rivals, Segways GT1 and the Wolf Warrior 11. Varla Pegasus Electric Scooter.
Due to the huge tires-something you’ve always wanted to hear-the scooter has great ground clearance of more than 36 inches. They are also excellent for traction, but could be better. The suspension is stiff and bouncy when riding urban trails, but the stiffness can be useful when driving off-road. But you might not like the narrow deck or uncomfortable kickplate, especially when riding off-road.

Acceleration
The Varla Eagle Pro’s speed isn’t typical of light heavyweight scooters-it is so much better. Varla Pegasus Electric Scooter. It is tested to have an acceleration of 2.1 seconds, which is close to the 15 millimeter mark. This is the performance typical of heavyweights from the past such as that of the Wolf Warrior 11 at 1.9 seconds, Dualtron Thunder at 2.0 seconds, along with 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 Vsett 10+. Vsett 10+ with a 1.9 seconds acceleration from 15 to mph.
The Eagle One Pro uses the same throttle as the NAMI and Wolf King GT, which means it also shares identical dead zones. You may want to consider finding an angle to anchor your thumb to ensure stability and provide it an ideal reference point when engaged.
Top Speed
We are awestruck by the Varla Eagle Pro’s top speed, especially for its price tag. The scooter manages a whopping forty mph top speed, which is much higher than the normal when compared to others within 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 faces competition from lower-priced models, such as that of the Wolf Warrior X Pro which manages a top speed at 43 mph as opposed to the similar priced Vsett 10+ reaches 43,5 mph.
In terms of weight, the scooter stands in its weight class and is in a class of its own and can be compared with the original Dualtron Thunder.
Hill Climb
Its Varla Eagle Pro scooter is remarkable for many things, and hill-climbing is definitely one of the best. This electric scooter will go up hills without losing too much power, and it isn’t slowing down with heavy riders or in low battery situations. When we conducted our 60-meter hill climb at 10% slope, the scooter was able to keep the speed of around 17 mph (and over) up to about 10% charge. Varla Pegasus Electric Scooter.
The company credits the superb climb to the sturdy dual motors rated at 1000W each, and a peak power of 2600 W. Varla claims that the motors generate 36 Nm or torque enough to push the scooter up gradients of up to 35deg.
Range
Nothing beats good mileage on the scooter and it’s true that the Varla Eagle One Pro scooter has a reasonable 58 km of range tested. Interestingly, 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 to 41 miles. It beat out other scooters that cost more, e.g., the Kaabo Mantis Pro with a 33 mile range, Dualtron Eagle Pro at 32 miles as well as the Vsett 10+ with 33 miles.
The battery behind the range is a large capacity, 60V 24 Ah battery with 1440 Wh of energy. It is larger and has more energy-dense 21700 cells in the battery. It’s a leap from the predecessor, called the Eagle One, whose battery was rated at 946 wh and had only 18650 lithium cell. Both batteries are equipped with intelligent battery management systems that preserve life. The process of charging the battery to its capacity can take between 8 and 9 hours, however, you can get another charger, and cut down the charge times to around 4-5 hours.
Braking
We would like to see all scooters have hydraulic brakes. However, that doesn’t mean electric scooters with cable brakes are unsafe or undependable when they come to stopping. Absolutely not. Actually the cable brakes and EABS in the Varla Eagle Pro feature tested braking force that is truly impressive and very easy to use. Varla Pegasus Electric Scooter.
The e-scooter stops in just 3 meters from an approximate speed that is 15 mph. The performance is comparable with that of Vsett 10+. Vsett 10+. Again, the Varla Eagle’s stopping power outdoes those of 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 in the Varla Eagle Pro like you would with an electric scooter with hydraulic brakes, but the Pro’s mechanical disc brakes leave nothing on the table when it comes to performance.
The EABS prevents your brakes from locking up. They can be adjusted using the P-settings displayed on the display. They can be adjusted in between zero and two with 0 being the weak setting and 2 refers to a strong setting.
Ride Quality
The ride quality is decent, but it’s not great. The only thing they don’t talk about when talking about all-terrain e-scooters is that they are primarily focused on the off-roading aspects.
The pneumatic road tires that are tubeless are great for comfort, particularly when traveling offroad. The tubeless nature of these tires is ideal for evading pinch flats from rocks. If, however, you’re buying the scooter to use primarily on city tracks, then you’d be better off switching to self-sealing knobby tires. These will instantly increase the traction of your scooter, maintain your comfort and cut down on maintenance. Also, thanks to the tires and the 17 centimeter clearance from the ground obstructions in the track will not scrape the underdeck
The suspension system feels rigid. It’s a bit stiff. Varla Eagle Pro would have been better off with adjustable shocks, or by adjusting the spring to less spring force. But the rigid setup works well when handling large bumps and stops the scooter from crashing. On well-maintained tracks the suspension can feel slightly bouncy and not enough for comfort.
It is also equipped with a steering damper. Eagle Pro also comes with an inbuilt steering damper. In high-speed along straight tracks riders will experience excellent stability. At top speed, the stability doesn’t match that from dual-stem beasts like the Wolf King GT but rather is more like the Dualtron Thunder or Nami Burn with a damper for steering installed. On the downside, the damper on the steering also makes it so that drivers have to push harder on the handlebars when trying to negotiate turns.
The deck is another cause to be concerned about. It’s too small and, due to the lack of deck real estate, riders are constantly forced to rest their back feet on the footrest that is not ergonomically designed. One bright spot is the Varla Eagle Pro compensates for the sloppy stance by providing an ergonomically laid-out cockpit that is easy to hold. It’s designed to provide comfort and user-friendliness. The controls can be also ergonomically designed and complement the large, well-lit 9 centimeter display.
Overall, between the heavy steering feel and the athletic riding stance and the rumbling acceleration that the Eagle One Pro is exhilarating to ride. It can also be a bit of workout when you’re racing hard.
