Varla Scooter Review

The Eagle One Pro is an upgraded version of the most popular two-wheeler, which is The Eagle One. Varla Scooter Review.  While the model has largely stayed the same but the Eagle One Pro is more efficient, more powerful and features a larger battery.

Take what you knew concerning 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, even though it has something to do with it–more about that in the near future.

The Eagle One Pro is Varla’s first beast scooter and it appears we’ll see a lot of flagship high-performance scooters this year. This is a an allusion to Segway’s GT Series and the brand new Apollo Pro.

Varla’s Eagle One Pro sits on the line as a light heavyweight scooter with borrowed specs of beast-scooters. It surpasses the weight of resident lightweight weights Apollo Phantom, Vsett 10+, along with the Kaabo Mantis Pro, which weighs 79lbs. And, it also features 11 inches road tires that are typical of beast scooters such as the Storm and 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 an impressive range per pound, and great 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 Scooter Review.

Because of the big tires-something you always want to hear-the scooter offers a great ground clearance at over 36 inches. They are also good for traction, however they could be improved. The suspension is stiff and bouncy on city trails, but the stiffness is useful when traveling off-road. However, you may not be a fan of the narrow deck or uncomfortable kickplate, especially when riding off-road.

Acceleration

It is the Varla Eagle Pro’s acceleration is not typical of light heavyweight scooters-it is far superior. Varla Scooter Review. It has a tested speed of 2.1 seconds, which is close to the 15 millimeters mark. This is what is expected of veteran heavyweight scooters such as the Wolf Warrior 11 at 1.9 seconds, Dualtron Thunder at 2.0 seconds along with the Dualtron Thunder II at 2.2 seconds. This is because the Varla Eagle Pro’s only rival in the light heavyweight category is that of the Vsett 10+ with a 1.9 seconds of acceleration, accelerating between 15 and 15 mph.

It is worth noting that the Eagle One Pro uses the same throttle as the NAMI and Wolf King GT, which means it also shares the same dead zone. You may want to consider finding an angle that will anchor your thumb in order to ensure stability and provide it an anchor location when engaging.

Top Speed

We are awestruck by 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 contrasted with other scooters that are in the same price bracket. The higher-priced Kaabo Mantis Pro only hits 37 mph top speed, while the Inokim OXO, still at the higher cost has a lower speed of 36 millimeters.

However, it also has competition from cheaper models such as those of Wolf Warrior X Pro which manages a top speed that is 43 mph, while the similarly priced Vsett 10+ reaches 43,5 mph.

In its weight class it is a scooter stands in its weight class and is in a class of its own and is comparable with the original Dualtron Thunder.

Hill Climb

Its Varla Eagle Pro electric scooter is remarkable for many things, and hill-climbing is definitely one of them. The electric scooter can climb the hills without losing energy, and it does not seem to slow down when there are heavy riders or low battery conditions. During our 60 m hill test at a 10% slope it was found that the scooter was able to maintain the speed of around 17 mph (and over) until about 10% charge. Varla Scooter Review.

The company attributes the impressive climb to the sturdy dual motors that are rated at 1000W each, and a peak power of 2600 W. Varla claims that the motors deliver an impressive 36 Nm in torque. This is sufficient to push the scooter up gradients of up to 35deg.

Range

Nothing beats the good miles on a scooter and this Varla Eagle Pro electric scooter gives a good 58 km of range tested. It is interesting to note that the only scooter within $400 of that of the Eagle One Pro that can outdo it in the scale is the Wolf Warrior X Pro, with a tested range of 41 miles. It beat other scooters with higher prices, e.g., the Kaabo Mantis Pro with a 33 miles distance, Dualtron Eagle Pro at 32 miles, along with the Vsett 10+ at 33 miles.

The battery behind the range lies a high capacity battery of 60V 24 Ah that has 1440 Wh of power. It’s bigger and more energy-dense with 21700 battery cells. It’s a leap from its predecessor, that of the Eagle One, whose battery was classified at 946 wh, and had only 18650 lithium cells. Both batteries are equipped with smart battery management systems to keep the battery in good condition. The process of charging the battery to its capacity takes 8-9 hrs, however you can purchase an additional charger to reduce charge times to around 4 to 5 hours.

Braking

Let’s face it, 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 insecure when they need to stop. Absolutely not. Actually the cable brakes as well as EABS of the Varla Eagle Pro have a tested braking power that is truly impressive and easy to get right. Varla Scooter Review.

The e-scooter can stop in only 3 meters from an approximate speed of 15 mph. This is in line with the Vsett 10+. In addition, the Varla Eagle Pro’s stopping power outdoes the Kaabo Wolf King, Kaabo Wolf Warrior X Pro, NAMI Burn-E, as well as Nami BURN-E2.

You may not enjoy squeezing the cable-actuated levers that are on the Varla Eagle Pro as you would on an electric scooter that has hydraulic brakes however, the Pro’s mechanical disc brakes do not leave anything on the table when they perform.

The EABS prevents your brakes from locking up. They are adjustable using the P-settings displayed on the display. They can be adjusted between 0 and 2, with 0 being a weak setting, and 2 is for a high setting.

Ride Quality

The ride quality is decent however, it’s not exceptional. One thing they do not discuss when promoting all-terrain e-scooters is that they are primarily focused on the off-roading measures.

The pneumatic road tires that are tubeless are ideal for comfort, particularly when riding offroad. Their tubeless nature is great for evading pinch flats from rocks. If, however, you’re buying the scooter to use primarily on city tracks, then it’s better to switch to self-sealing knobby tires. These would automatically double the traction of your scooter, maintain your comfort, and decrease maintenance. Additionally, due to the tires and a 17 centimeter clearance on the ground, obstacles in the track will not cause damage to the deck beneath.

The suspension system feels stiff. This Varla Eagle Pro would have been better off with adjustable shocks, or by adjusting an existing spring with lower spring rates. But the rigid setup is efficient when dealing with large bumps and prevents the scooter from bottoming out. When the tracks are well maintained, the suspension feels 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. In high-speed along straight tracks riders can enjoy a great stability. At top speed, the stability does not equal the stability from dual-stem beasts like those on the Wolf King GT but rather appears to be the Dualtron Thunder or Nami Burn equipped with a steering damper. However, the steering damper also makes it so that drivers have to push harder on the handlebars when negotiating turns.

The deck is another point of concern. It’s too small, and with this shortage of usable deck real estate it is a constant struggle for riders to rest their back feet on the footrest which isn’t designed ergonomically. The bright side is the Varla Eagle Pro compensates for the sloppy stance by providing an excellently laid-out and comfortable cockpit that is easy to hold. It is designed for comfort and ease of use. Controls can be also ergonomically designed to complement the well-readable, large 9 centimeter display.

Overall, between the heavy feel of the steering and the athletic riding stance, and the intense acceleration, the Eagle One Pro is exhilarating to ride, but it could also be workout when you’re on the road for a long time.
