Varla Pegasus Scooter
The Eagle One Pro is an upgraded version of the most popular two-wheeler, which is called the Eagle One. Varla Pegasus Scooter. Although the design has pretty much stayed the same but the Eagle One Pro is more powerful, faster and features a larger battery.
Take what you knew regarding Varla’s Eagle One and toss it out the window. The Varla Eagle One is now available and it’s nothing like the one it replaced. It’s not just about the 52% larger battery, though that has something to do with it–more about that in the near future.
The Eagle One Pro is Varla’s first monster scooter, and it seems there will be a lot of high-performance, flagship scooters this 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 edge of being an extremely light-weight scooter with specs borrowed of beast-scooters. It surpasses the weight of resident lightweight weights Apollo Phantom, Vsett 10+, along with the Kaabo Mantis Pro, which weighs 79 pounds. It also features 11 inches road tires, typical of beast scooters such as Wolf King GT and the Storm as well as the Wolf King GT.
The Varla Eagle One Pro scooter is also amazing with a way over the norm top speed for a dollar. It also has an exceptional performance per pound and excellent brakes per dollar. This isn’t even the most impressive feature. This off-road scooter costs about $640 less than its closest rivals, Segways GT1 and the Wolf Warrior 11. Varla Pegasus Scooter.
Because of the big tires-something you’ve always wanted to hear-the scooter has great ground clearance at over 36 inches. They’re also good for traction, but could be improved. The suspension is firm and bouncy for urban trails, but the stiffness can be useful when driving off-road. But you might not like the shorter deck or the uncomfortable kickplate, especially off-road.

Acceleration
It is the Varla Eagle Pro’s acceleration does not match that of lightweight heavyweight scooters. It is so much better. Varla Pegasus Scooter. It’s tested with an speed of 2.1 seconds to the 15 millimeter mark. This is the speed that’s you would expect from heavyweights with a long history like the Wolf Warrior 11 at 1.9 seconds, Dualtron Thunder at 2.0 seconds along with the Dualtron Thunder II at 2.2 seconds. It is the Varla Eagle Pro’s only rival in the light heavyweight class will be Vsett 10+. Vsett 10+ with a 1.9 seconds acceleration between 15 and 15 mph.
Eagle One Pro 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 secure your thumb in order to ensure stability and provide it an ideal reference point when engaging.
Top Speed
We love this Varla Eagle Pro’s top speed, especially for its price. The scooter has a staggering 40 mph top speed, which is a lot higher than average when compared to others in 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 has competition from cheaper models such as that of the Wolf Warrior X Pro which manages an top speed at 43 mph, while the comparable Vsett 10+ reaches 43,5 mph.
In its weight class, the scooter is in a class of its own and only is comparable to that of the first Dualtron Thunder.
Hill Climb
The Varla Eagle Pro electric scooter is remarkable for many things but hill-climbing is one of them. This electric scooter can climb hills without losing too much energy, and it does not seem to slow down with heavy riders or in low battery situations. When we conducted our 60-meter hill test with a 10% slope it was found that the scooter could maintain an average speed that was around 17 mph (and over) until about 10% charge. Varla Pegasus Scooter.
The company credits the superb hill climbing to the robust dual motors that are rated at 1000 W each, with a maximum power of 2600W. Varla claims that the motors produce 36 Nm in torque. This is enough to propel the scooter through hills of up to 35deg.
Range
There is nothing better than good mileage on a scooter which is why the Varla Eagle One Pro scooter has a reasonable distance of 58 kilometers in its tested range. The only scooter less than $400 from its Eagle One Pro that can outdo it in the scale is the Wolf Warrior X Pro, with a test range that was 41 miles. It beat other scooters that cost more, 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 high capacity 60V 24 Ah battery with 1440 Wh of energy. It is larger and more energy-dense with 21700 battery cells. This is an improvement from the predecessor, called the Eagle One, whose battery was classified at 946 wh, and only came with 18650 lithium cell. Both batteries have intelligent battery management systems that preserve life. Charge the battery up to capacity takes 8-9 hrs, but you can secure another charger, and cut down the charge times to around 4 to 5 hours.
Braking
Let’s face it, we wish all scooters had hydraulic brakes. However, that doesn’t mean electric scooters that have cable brakes are dangerous or undependable when they need to stop. Absolutely not. In fact the cable brakes and EABS on the Varla Eagle Pro have a proven braking power that is truly exceptional and very easy to use. Varla Pegasus Scooter.
The e-scooter can stop in only 3 meters from a speed of 15 mph. This performance is in line with that of Vsett 10+. Vsett 10-plus. The Varla Eagle Pro’s stopping strength is better than those of the Kaabo Wolf King, Kaabo Wolf Warrior X Pro, NAMI Burn-E and Nami BURN-E2.
It’s possible that you don’t like squeezing the cable-actuated levers that are on the Varla Eagle Pro as you would on an electric scooter equipped with hydraulic brakes but the Pro’s disc brakes leave nothing to be desired when they perform.
The EABS prevents the brakes from locking up. They can be adjusted using the P-settings 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
Ride quality can be described as good however it’s not the best. The only thing they don’t discuss when talking about all-terrain e-scooters is that priority falls on off-roading features.
The pneumatic road tires that are tubeless are great 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 use primarily on roads, then you’re better off changing to self-sealing, knobby tires. These would automatically double the traction of your scooter, maintain your comfort and cut down on maintenance. In addition, because of the tires and the 17 centimeter ground clearance obstacles on the track won’t scratch the underdeck
The suspension system feels stiff. The Varla Eagle Pro could benefit more from adjustable shocks or adapting the spring to less spring force. However, the stiff setup is efficient when dealing with large bumps and prevents the scooter from bottoming out. If the track is well maintained the suspension is somewhat bouncy for ease of use.
The Eagle Pro also comes with an inbuilt steering damper. When driving at high speeds along straight tracks riders will experience excellent stability. At top speed the stability doesn’t match the stability offered by dual stem monsters such as the Wolf King GT but rather appears to be a Dualtron Thunder or Nami Burn with a steering damper installed. However, the damper on the steering also means that riders will need to exert more force on the handlebars when trying to negotiate turns.
The deck is yet another area of concern. It’s too small, and with this shortage of deck space the riders are forced to put their back foot on the footrest, which isn’t designed ergonomically. One bright spot is the Varla Eagle Pro compensates for the sloppy stance by providing a well-laid-out cockpit that is easy to use. It is designed for comfort and ease of use. The controls are also ergonomically designed and complement the well-readable, large 9 centimeter display.
Overall, between the heavy steering feel, the sporty riding stance and the rumbling acceleration that the Eagle One Pro is exhilarating to ride. It can also be a workout when you’re on the road for a long time.
