Varla Vs Mantis
The Eagle One Pro is an upgraded version of the company’s most popular two-wheeler, which is The Eagle One. Varla Vs Mantis. Although the style has remained the same however, The Eagle One Pro is more powerful, faster and features a larger battery pack.
Learn about Varla’s Eagle One and toss it out the window. The Varla Eagle One is out, and it is nothing like the one it replaced. And it’s not just about the 52% larger battery, though that has some connection to it. More on that to come.
The Eagle One Pro is Varla’s first beast scooter and it appears there will be a lot of flagship high-performance scooters in the coming season. This is a an allusion to Segway’s GT Series and the brand new Apollo Pro.
Varla’s Eagle One Pro sits on the fence as an extremely light-weight scooter that borrows its specs of beast-scooters. It surpasses the weight of the local lightweight heavyweights Apollo Phantom, Vsett 10+, along with the Kaabo Mantis Pro, which weighs 79 lbs. It also comes with 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 remarkable with a far above trend top speed for a dollar. It also has an an impressive distance per pound and great brakes per dollar. It’s not even the greatest part. The off-road scooter costs about $640 less than the closest competing beasts, Segways GT1 and the Wolf Warrior 11. Varla Vs Mantis.
Thanks to the large tires-something you’ve always wanted to hear-the scooter has great ground clearance, with a total of 36 inches. They are also great for traction however they could be improved. The suspension is stiff and bouncy for city 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 isn’t typical of lighter heavyweight scooters, it is much more powerful. Varla Vs Mantis. It is tested to have an acceleration of 2.1 seconds up to 15 millimeters mark. This is what is you would expect from heavyweights with a long history like the Wolf Warrior 11 at 1.9 seconds, Dualtron Thunder at 2.0 seconds as well as 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 that of the Vsett 10+ with a 1.9 seconds of acceleration, accelerating 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 shares similar dead zones. It is possible to locate an angle that will anchor your thumb in order to ensure stability and provide it an ideal reference point when engaged.
Top Speed
We are awestruck by this Varla Eagle Pro’s top speed, especially for the price. The scooter has a staggering 40 mph top speed, which is well above average when it is compared with other scooters in the same price range. The higher-priced 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 faces competition from lower-priced models, such as the Wolf Warrior X Pro which manages an top speed of 43 mph and the similarly priced Vsett 10+ reaches 43,5 mph.
In its weight class, the scooter can be found in a league of its own and only is comparable with the original Dualtron Thunder.
Hill Climb
The Varla Eagle Pro electronic scooter is amazing for a variety of things including hill-climbing, which is certainly one of the best. This electric scooter can climb steep hills without losing any power, and it doesn’t seem to let up when there are heavy riders or low battery conditions. In our 60-meter hill climb at 10% slope it was found that the scooter was able to keep an average speed that was around 17 mph (and more than) up to approximately 10% of charge. Varla Vs Mantis.
The company credits the superb hill-climbing ability to the strong twin motors, rated at 1000W each, with a peak power of 2600W. Varla claims that the motors deliver 36 Nm in torque. This is sufficient 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 Pro scooter gives a good 58 km of range tested. It is interesting to note that the only scooter less than $400 from the Eagle One Pro that can beat it on the range is the Wolf Warrior X Pro, which has a range tested that was 41 miles. It beat out 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+ with 33 miles.
The battery behind the range lies a high capacity 60V 24 Ah battery with 1440 Wh of energy. It’s larger and has more energy-dense 21700 cell batteries. It’s a leap from its predecessor, that of the Eagle One, whose battery was rated at 946 wh and came with only 18650 lithium cells. Both batteries are equipped with smart battery management systems to keep the battery in good condition. Charging the battery to capacity takes between 8 and 9 hours however you can purchase a second charger and reduce charge time to about 4-5 hours.
Braking
Let’s face it; we wish all scooters had hydraulic brakes. This doesn’t mean that electric scooters with cable brakes are dangerous or unreliable when they need to stop. Absolutely not. Actually, the cable brakes plus EABS of Varla Eagle Pro Varla Eagle Pro have a tested braking force that is truly remarkable and simple to set up. Varla Vs Mantis.
The e-scooter stops in just 3 meters from an approximate speed at 15 mph. The performance is comparable with that of the Vsett 10+. 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 not as fun to squeeze the cable-actuated levers in the Varla Eagle Pro the way you would do on an electric scooter equipped with hydraulic brakes but the Pro’s mechanical disc brakes do not leave anything in the dust when they perform.
The EABS will stop your brakes from locking up. They are adjustable via the P-settings that are displayed on the display. They can be adjusted in between zero and two which means 0 is a weak setting, and 2 refers to a strong setting.
Ride Quality
The ride quality is good however it’s not the best. The caveat they never mention when advertising all-terrain electric scooters is that the primary focus should be on the off-roading aspects.
The pneumatic road tires that are tubeless are excellent for comfort, especially when traveling offroad. The tubeless nature of these tires is ideal to avoid pinch flats caused by rocks. But, if you’re using the scooter to use primarily on city tracks, then you’d be better off switching to self-sealing knobby tires. They will automatically increase your traction, preserve your comfort and cut down on maintenance. Additionally, due to the tires and the 17 centimeter clearance from the ground obstructions on the track won’t scrape the deck beneath.
The suspension is hard. It’s a bit stiff. Varla Eagle Pro would benefit more from adjustable shocks, or by adjusting an existing spring with lower spring rates. But the rigid setup works well when handling large bumps and prevents the scooter from falling off. On well-maintained tracks the suspension can feel slightly bouncy and not enough for the comfort.
It is also equipped with a steering damper. Eagle Pro also comes with an inbuilt steering damper. At high speeds and straight tracks, users can enjoy a great stability. At top speed the stability isn’t as good as the stability from dual-stem beasts like those on the Wolf King GT but rather appears to be a Dualtron Thunder or Nami Burn equipped with a steering damper. On the downside, the steering damper also makes it so that drivers will need to exert more force on the bar handles when making turns.
The deck is another point of concern. It’s too small, and with this shortage of deck space the riders are forced to place the back foot on the footrest, which isn’t designed ergonomically. One bright spot is the Varla Eagle Pro makes up for a poor stance with an excellently laid-out and comfortable cockpit that is easy to use. It’s designed to provide comfort and ease of use. The controls have been also ergonomically designed and 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. It could also be quite workout when you’re on the road for a long time.
