Learn regarding Varla’s Eagle One and toss it out the window. Varla’s new Varla Eagle One Pro is here, and it is nothing like its predecessor. It’s not just about the 52% larger battery, although that could have some significance–more on that to come.
The Eagle One Pro is Varla’s first monster scooter and it appears we’ll see plenty of high-performance, flagship scooters this season. This is a the context of Segway’s GT Series and the brand new Apollo Pro.
Varla’s Eagle One Pro sits on the edge of being an extremely light-weight scooter that borrows its specs from beast scooters. It is heavier than the local light weights Apollo Phantom, Vsett 10+, and Kaabo Mantis Pro, which weighs 79 lbs. And, it also features 11 inches road tires, typical of beast scooters such as Wolf King GT and the Storm or Wolf King GT.
The Varla Eagle One Pro scooter is also remarkable with a far over the norm top speed for a dollar. It also has an a remarkable distance per pound and excellent braking per dollar. It’s not even the greatest aspect. This off-road scooter is about $640 cheaper than the closest competing beasts, Segways GT1 and the Wolf Warrior 11. Varla Pegasus Long Range & Solid Tire City Commuter Electric Scooter.
Due to the huge tires-something you’ve always wanted to hear-the scooter is able to stand on the ground with a good clearance, with a total of 36 inches. They’re also good for traction, but could be better. The suspension feels stiff and bouncy when riding city trails. However, the stiffness is useful when riding off-road. But you might not like the narrow deck or uncomfortable kickplate, especially when riding off-road.

Acceleration
Varla Eagle Pro Varla Eagle Pro’s speed does not match that of light heavyweight scooters-it is so much better. Varla Pegasus Long Range & Solid Tire City Commuter Electric Scooter. It is tested to have an acceleration of 2.1 seconds to the 15 millimeters mark. This is the performance typical of heavyweights from the past such as the Wolf Warrior 11 at 1.9 seconds, Dualtron Thunder at 2.0 seconds and it’s Dualtron Thunder II at 2.2 seconds. It is the Varla Eagle Pro’s only competition in the light-heavyweight category includes Vsett 10+. Vsett 10+ with a 1.9 seconds acceleration to 15 mph.
Eagle One Pro Eagle One Pro uses the same throttle as the NAMI and Wolf King GT, which means that it also shares similar dead zones. You might want to find an angle to anchor your thumb to ensure stability and provide it an anchor location when engaged.
Top Speed
We love 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 contrasted with other scooters within the same price range. The more expensive 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 is competing with lower models such as the Wolf Warrior X Pro which has an top speed of 43 mph, while the similar priced Vsett 10+ reaches 43,5 mph.
In its weight class in the weight class, the scooter stands in its weight class and is in a class of its own and only compares with 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 the best. The electric scooter will go up steep hills without losing any power, and it does not seem to slow down when there are heavy riders or low battery conditions. In our 60-meter hill climb at 10% gradient and a 10% gradient, the scooter was able to maintain the speed of 17 mph (and more than) up to approximately 10% of charge. Varla Pegasus Long Range & Solid Tire City Commuter Electric Scooter.
The company attributes the impressive climb to the sturdy twin motors, rated at 1000W each, with a maximum power of 2600W. Varla claims that the motors produce the equivalent of 36 Nm of torque, enough to propel the scooter through hills of up to 35deg.
Range
There is nothing better than good mileage on a scooter and the Varla Eagle One Pro scooter gives a good 58 kilometers of tested range. Interestingly, the only scooter less than $400 from its Eagle One Pro that can surpass it in terms of scale is the Wolf Warrior X Pro, with a tested range to 41 miles. It outran other scooters with higher prices, e.g., the Kaabo Mantis Pro with a 33 miles distance, Dualtron Eagle Pro at 32 miles and Vsett 10+ at 33 miles.
Behind the range lies a high capacity 60V 24 Ah battery that has 1440 Wh of power. It’s bigger and has more energy-dense 21700 cells in the battery. This is a step up from its predecessor, the Eagle One, whose battery was classified at 946 wh, and had 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 purchase an additional charger to reduce charge time to about 4 to 5 hours.
Braking
We wish all scooters had hydraulic brakes. However, that doesn’t mean electric scooters equipped with cable brakes aren’t dangerous or insecure when it comes to stopping. Absolutely not. Actually, the cable brakes plus EABS on the Varla Eagle Pro have a tested braking force that is truly remarkable and simple to set up. Varla Pegasus Long Range & Solid Tire City Commuter Electric Scooter.
The e-scooter stops in just 3 meters from an approximate speed of 15 mph. The performance is comparable with that of Vsett 10+. Vsett 10, which is 10+. In addition, the Varla Eagle’s stopping strength is better than those of the Kaabo Wolf King, Kaabo Wolf Warrior X Pro, NAMI Burn-E, as well as Nami BURN-E2.
It’s not as fun to squeeze the cable-actuated levers that are on the Varla Eagle Pro as you would on an electric scooter with hydraulic brakes, but the Pro’s mechanical disc brakes don’t leave much on the table when it comes to performance.
The EABS stops your brakes from locking. They are adjustable using the P-settings on the display. You can adjust them between 0 and 2 with 0 being a weak setting, and 2 is for a high setting.
Ride Quality
Its ride is decent however it’s not the best. 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 measures.
The pneumatic road tires with no tube are excellent for comfort, particularly when riding offroad. The tubeless nature of these tires is ideal to avoid pinch flats caused by rocks. However, if you’re getting the scooter to ride primarily off roads, then you’re better off changing to self-sealing, tubeless knobby tires. They will automatically increase your traction, retain your comfort and cut down on maintenance. Also, thanks to the tires and the 17 centimeter ground clearance obstructions in the track will not scrape the deck beneath.
The suspension feels rigid. It’s a bit stiff. Varla Eagle Pro would have benefited more from adjustable shocks, or by adjusting the spring to lower spring rates. The stiff suspension works well when dealing with large bumps and keeps the scooter from crashing. On well-maintained tracks the suspension can feel slightly bouncy and not enough for ease of use.
It is also equipped with a steering damper. Eagle Pro also comes with an inbuilt steering damper. At high speeds along straight tracks 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 is more like a Dualtron Thunder or Nami Burn equipped with a steering damper. On the downside, the damper for steering also implies that the riders will have to push harder on the bar handles when trying to negotiate turns.
The deck is another cause of concern. It’s too narrow, and with this shortage of 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 a poor stance with an ergonomically laid-out cockpit that is easy to use. It’s designed to provide comfort and user-friendliness. Controls can be also ergonomically designed to complement the clear, large 9 centimeter display.
Overall, between the hefty feel of the steering and the athletic riding stance and the rumbling acceleration, the Eagle One Pro is exhilarating to ride, but it can also be workout when you’re riding hard.
