Varla.
The Eagle One Pro is an upgraded version of the manufacturer’s top-selling two-wheeler model, the Eagle One. Varla.. The style has remained the same, The Eagle One Pro is more powerful, faster, and has a larger battery pack.
Take what you knew about Varla’s Eagle One and toss it out the window. It’s the Varla Eagle One Pro is now available and isn’t like the one it replaced. And it’s not just about the 52% larger battery, though that has something to do with it–more on that to come.
The Eagle One Pro is Varla’s first beast scooter and it appears we’ll see a lot of flagship high-performance scooters this season. This is in reference 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 specs borrowed of beast-scooters. It is heavier than its lightweight heavyweights Apollo Phantom, Vsett 10+, as well as the Kaabo Mantis Pro, which weighs 79 pounds. And, it also has 11 inches of road tires that are typical of beast scooters like Wolf King GT and the Storm as well as the Wolf King GT.
It’s a great scooter. Varla Eagle One Pro scooter is also remarkable with a far above trend top speed in dollars, an impressive distance per pound and excellent braking per dollar. It’s not even the greatest part. The off-road scooter costs about $640 less than the most comparable beasts, Segways GT1 and the Wolf Warrior 11. Varla..
Because of the big tires-something that you’re always hoping to hear about-the scooter offers a great ground clearance of more than 36 inches. They are also good for traction, but could be better. The suspension is firm and bouncy for urban trails, but the stiffness is useful when riding off-road. You might not like the short deck or its uncomfortable kickplate, especially off-road.

Acceleration
The Varla Eagle Pro’s speed isn’t typical of lightweight heavyweight scooters. It is much more powerful. Varla.. It’s tested with an acceleration of 2.1 seconds to the 15 millimeters mark. This is what is expected of veteran heavyweight scooters like 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 only competition in the light heavyweight category will be the Vsett 10+ with a 1.9 seconds acceleration to 15 mph.
It is worth noting that the Eagle One Pro uses the same throttle as the NAMI and Wolf King GT, which means that it also shares similar dead zones. It is possible to locate an angle to anchor your thumb to keep it in place and provide it a reference location when engaging.
Top Speed
We love this Varla Eagle Pro’s top speed, especially for its price. The scooter manages a whopping forty mph top speed, which is well above normal when contrasted with other scooters that are in the same price bracket. The more expensive Kaabo Mantis Pro only hits 37 mph top speed, while the Inokim OXO, still at a higher price, only reaches 36 mmh.
However, it also is competing with lower models such as that of the Wolf Warrior X Pro which achieves an top speed of 43 mph and the comparable Vsett 10+ reaches 43,5 mph.
In its weight class it is a scooter can be found in a class of its own and only is comparable to its predecessor, the Dualtron Thunder.
Hill Climb
Its Varla Eagle Pro scooter is amazing for a variety of things but hill-climbing is one of them. This electric scooter can climb hills without losing too much energy, and it doesn’t seem to let up when there are heavy riders or low battery conditions. In our 60-meter hill test with a 10 percent slope and a 10% gradient, the scooter was able to maintain a speed of around 17 mph (and over) up to around 10% charge. Varla..
The company attributes the impressive climb to the sturdy dual motors that are rated at 1000 W each, with a peak power of 2600 W. Varla claims that the motors produce an impressive 36 Nm or torque sufficient to propel the scooter up gradients of up to 35deg.
Range
Nothing beats good mileage on a scooter, and it’s true that the Varla Eagle Pro scooter has a reasonable distance of 58 kilometers in its tested range. The only scooter less than $400 of that of the Eagle One Pro that can surpass it in terms of scale is the 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 miles distance, Dualtron Eagle Pro at 32 miles and Vsett 10+ at 33 miles.
Behind the range is a large capacity, 60V 24 Ah battery that has 1440 Wh of power. It is larger and more energy-dense with 21700 cells in the battery. This is a step up from the predecessor, called it was the Eagle One, whose battery was rated at 946 wh and only came with 18650 lithium cells. Both batteries are equipped with intelligent battery management systems that keep the battery in good condition. Charging the battery to capacity takes between 8 and 9 hours but you can secure another charger, and cut down the charge time to about 4-5 hours.
Braking
Let’s face it; we would like to see all scooters have hydraulic brakes. However, that doesn’t mean electric scooters that have cable brakes are dangerous or unreliable when they need to stop. Absolutely not. In fact the cable brakes and EABS of Varla Eagle Pro Varla Eagle Pro have a tested braking force that is truly exceptional and easy to get right. Varla..
The e-scooter stops in just 3 meters from a speed that is 15 mph. This is in line with that of the Vsett 10+. In addition, the Varla Eagle’s stopping power outdoes Kaabo Wolf King, the Kaabo Wolf King, Kaabo Wolf Warrior X Pro, NAMI Burn-E, and 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 equipped with hydraulic brakes however, the Pro’s mechanical disc brakes do not leave anything to be desired when it comes to performance.
The EABS stops your brakes from locking up. They are adjustable via the P-settings on the display. You can adjust them between 0 and 2 where 0 is on an insufficient setting, while 2 refers to a strong setting.
Ride Quality
Its ride is acceptable however it’s not the best. The only thing they don’t mention when advertising all-terrain electric scooters is that the primary focus should be on the off-roading aspects.
The tubeless pneumatic road tires are excellent for comfort, especially when traveling offroad. Their tubeless design is perfect to avoid pinch flats caused by rocks. But, if you’re using the scooter for use mostly on urban tracks, you’d be better off switching to self-sealing, knobby tires. They will automatically increase your traction, retain your comfort, and reduce maintenance. Additionally, due to the tires and the 17 centimeter clearance from the ground, obstacles on the track will not scratch the underdeck
The suspension feels rigid. The Varla Eagle Pro could have been better off with adjustable shocks or the spring to lower spring rates. However, the stiff setup works well when handling large bumps and keeps the scooter from falling off. If the track is well maintained the suspension is somewhat bouncy for the comfort.
It is also equipped with a steering damper. Eagle Pro also comes with a built-in steering damper. At high speeds and straight tracks, riders will enjoy excellent stability. At top speed the stability doesn’t match that from dual-stem beasts like Wolf King GT. Wolf King GT but rather appears to be the Dualtron Thunder or Nami Burn with a damper for steering installed. The downside is that the steering damper also implies that the riders will have to push harder on the bar handles when negotiating turns.
The deck is another point of concern. It is too short and due to this lack of deck space the riders are forced to place the back foot on the footrest which isn’t ergonomically designed. The bright side to this model is that Varla Eagle Pro compensates for a poor stance with a well-laid-out cockpit that is easy to hold. It is designed for comfort and convenience. Controls are also ergonomically designed and compliment the clear, large 9 centimeter screen.
Overall, between the heavy feeling of the steering, the sporty riding stance, and the intense acceleration, the Eagle One Pro is exhilarating to ride. It can also be workout when you’re on the road for a long time.
What Makes the Pro Version Different From Eagle One
- There were significant upgrades that Varla did to the original Eagle One to get the Pro. Here are some of the key variations:

- The Eagle One only weighs 77 pounds, whereas the Pro weighs 90 pounds
