Varla Pegasus Range
The Eagle One Pro is an upgraded version of the manufacturer’s top-selling two-wheeler model, The Eagle One. Varla Pegasus Range. Although the design has pretty much stayed the same, it’s the Eagle One Pro is more powerful, faster and comes with a bigger battery.
You know what you learned about Varla’s Eagle One and toss it out the window. The Varla Eagle One is out and isn’t like the one it replaced. It’s not only about the 52% bigger battery, even though it has some connection to it. More on that to come.
The Eagle One Pro is Varla’s first beast scooter and it appears we’ll see plenty of flagship high-performance scooters this season. This is a reference to Segway’s GT Series and the brand new Apollo Pro.
Varla’s Eagle One Pro sits on the edge of being it’s a light weight scooter that borrows its specs from beast scooters. It’s heavier than resident lightweight weights Apollo Phantom, Vsett 10+ and Kaabo Mantis Pro, which weighs 79 pounds. And, it also has 11 inches of road tires, which is typical of beast scooters such as Wolf King GT and the Storm or Wolf King GT.
It’s a great scooter. Varla Eagle One Pro scooter is also remarkable with a far over the norm top speed in dollars, exceptional range per pound, and excellent brakes per dollar. That’s not even the best feature. This off-road scooter costs about $640 less than its closest rivals, Segways GT1 and the Wolf Warrior 11. Varla Pegasus Range.
Thanks to the large tires-something you always want to hear about-the scooter has great ground clearance at over 36 inches. They’re also great for traction but could be improved. The suspension is stiff and bouncy on urban trails, but the stiffness comes in handy when driving off-road. But you might not like the short deck or its uncomfortable kickplate, especially when riding off-road.

Acceleration
Varla Eagle Pro Varla Eagle Pro’s acceleration does not match that of light heavyweight scooters-it is much more powerful. Varla Pegasus Range. It has a tested speed of 2.1 seconds, which is close to the 15 millimeters mark. This is the performance expected of veteran heavyweight scooters such as those of 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 category is Vsett 10+. Vsett 10+ with a 1.9 seconds acceleration between 15 and 15 mph.
The Eagle One Pro uses the same throttle as the NAMI and Wolf King GT, which means that it also has similar dead zones. It is possible to locate an angle to anchor your thumb in order to ensure stability and provide 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 boasts a whopping forty mph top speed, which is much higher than the normal when contrasted with other scooters in the same price range. The higher-priced Kaabo Mantis Pro only hits a 37 mph top speed, while the Inokim OXO, still at the higher cost has a lower speed of 36 millimeters.
However, it also is competing with lower models, such as 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 its weight class it is a scooter is in a class of its own and compares with the original Dualtron Thunder.
Hill Climb
The Varla Eagle Pro scooter is impressive for a lot of things including hill-climbing, which is certainly one of the most impressive. This electric scooter will go up steep hills without losing any power, and doesn’t seem to let up with heavy riders or in poor battery levels. During our 60 m hill test at a 10% slope, the scooter was able to keep the speed of 17 mph (and more than) until approximately 10% of charge. Varla Pegasus Range.
The company attributes the impressive climb to the sturdy twin motors, rated at 1000W each and a peak power of 2600W. Varla claims that the motors generate 36 Nm or torque enough to propel the scooter up gradients of up to 35deg.
Range
There is nothing better than good mileage on an electric scooter and it’s true that the Varla Eagle Pro scooter gives a good 58 km of range tested. It is interesting to note that the only scooter that is within the $400 range from its Eagle One Pro that can beat it on the scale is the Wolf Warrior X Pro, with a tested range to 41 miles. It beat out other scooters that cost more, e.g., the Kaabo Mantis Pro with a 33 mile of range. Dualtron Eagle Pro at 32 miles as well as the Vsett 10+ with 33 miles.
Behind the range is a high capacity 60V 24 Ah battery with 1440 Wh of energy. It’s larger and has more energy-dense 21700 cells in the battery. It’s a leap from the predecessor, called that of the Eagle One, whose battery was rated at 946 wh and came with only 18650 lithium cell. Both batteries are equipped with smart battery management systems to ensure that the battery’s life is not compromised. Charge the battery up to capacity can take between 8 and 9 hours, but you can secure a second charger and reduce charging time to 4 to 5 hours.
Braking
We would like to see all scooters have hydraulic brakes. That’s not to say that electric scooters that have cable brakes are unsafe or undependable when it comes to stopping. Absolutely not. In fact the cable brakes as well as EABS in the Varla Eagle Pro offer proven braking power that is truly remarkable and very easy to use. Varla Pegasus Range.
The e-scooter can stop in only 3 meters from an approximate speed that is 15 mph. This performance is in line with that of the Vsett 10, which is 10+. The Varla Eagle’s stopping power outdoes Kaabo Wolf King, 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 in the Varla Eagle Pro as you would on an electric scooter that has hydraulic brakes but the Pro’s mechanical disc brakes do not leave anything on the table when they perform.
The EABS prevents your brakes from locking. They can be adjusted using the P-settings displayed on the display. You can set them from 0 to 2, which means 0 is a weak setting, and 2 is a stronger setting.
Ride Quality
Its ride is good, but it’s not great. One thing they do not discuss when advertising all-terrain electric scooters is that priority falls on the off-roading aspects.
The pneumatic road tires with no tube are ideal for comfort, particularly when riding offroad. The tubeless nature of these tires is ideal for avoiding pinch flats that are caused by rocks. If, however, you’re buying the scooter to use primarily on urban tracks, you’re better off changing to self-sealing, tubeless knobby tires. They will automatically increase your traction, preserve your comfort and cut down on maintenance. In addition, because of the tires and a 17 centimeter ground clearance, obstacles in the track will not scrape the underdeck
The suspension system feels rigid. The Varla Eagle Pro could have benefited more from adjustable shocks or adapting a spring with less spring force. But the rigid setup works well when dealing with large bumps and keeps the scooter from crashing. If the track is well maintained, the suspension feels a little too bouncy for comfort.
It is also equipped with a steering damper. Eagle Pro also comes with a built-in steering damper. When driving at high speeds as well as straight track, users will experience excellent stability. At top speed, the stability isn’t as good as that offered by dual stem monsters such as those on the Wolf King GT but rather appears to be the Dualtron Thunder or Nami Burn with a steering damper installed. On the downside, the damper for steering also means that riders be forced to work harder on the handlebars when trying to negotiate turns.
The deck is yet another area to be concerned about. It’s too narrow and due to this lack of deck real estate, riders are constantly forced to place the back foot on the footrest which is not ergonomically designed. The bright side is the Varla Eagle Pro compensates for a poor stance with an ergonomically laid-out cockpit that is comfortable on your hands. It is designed for comfort and convenience. Controls are also ergonomically designed and complement the well-readable, large 9 centimeter display.
Overall, between the heavy feeling of the steering as well as the sporty riding posture and the fast acceleration, the Eagle One Pro is exhilarating to ride. It can also be an exercise when you’re on the road for a long time.
