Zero 10x Vs Varla
The Eagle One Pro is an upgraded version of the company’s top-selling two-wheeler model, The Eagle One. Zero 10x Vs Varla. The model has largely stayed the same but it’s the Eagle One Pro is more powerful, faster, and has a larger battery.
Take what you knew regarding Varla’s Eagle One and toss it out the window. It’s 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, even though it has some connection to it. More on that to come.
The Eagle One Pro is Varla’s first monster scooter, and it seems there will be a lot of flagship high-performance scooters this year. This is a reference 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 with borrowed specs taken from the beast scooters. It surpasses the weight of resident lightweight heavyweights Apollo Phantom, Vsett 10+, and Kaabo Mantis Pro, which weighs 79 pounds. And, it also has 11 inches of road tires that are typical of beast scooters such as Wolf King GT and the Storm or Wolf King GT.
The Varla Eagle One Pro scooter is also amazing with a way above trend top speed in dollars, exceptional distance per pound and excellent braking for every dollar. This isn’t even the most impressive part. This off-road scooter is priced at about $640 less than its closest rivals, Segways GT1 and the Wolf Warrior 11. Zero 10x Vs Varla.
Because of the big tires-something that you’re always hoping to hear-the scooter is able to stand on the ground with a good clearance of more than 36 inches. They are also excellent for traction, but could be improved. The suspension feels stiff and bouncy when riding city trails. However, the stiffness comes in handy when driving off-road. But you might not like the narrow deck or uncomfortable kickplate, especially off-road.

Acceleration
Varla Eagle Pro Varla Eagle Pro’s acceleration does not match that of light heavyweight scooters-it is much more powerful. Zero 10x Vs Varla. It’s tested with an speed of 2.1 seconds up to 15 millimeter mark. This is the performance expected of veteran heavyweight scooters such as 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. The Varla Eagle Pro’s only rival in the light heavyweight category will be the 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 shares the same dead zone. You might want to find an angle that will anchor your thumb to keep it in place and provide it a reference point when engaged.
Top Speed
We are awestruck by this Varla Eagle Pro’s top speed, especially for its price tag. The scooter manages a whopping forty mph top speed, which is well above what is considered to be average when contrasted with other scooters within the same price range. The more expensive Kaabo Mantis Pro only hits 37 mph top speed, while the Inokim OXO, still at a higher price has a lower speed of 36 millimeters.
However, it also has competition from cheaper models such as that of the Wolf Warrior X Pro which manages an top speed that is 43 mph, while the similarly priced Vsett 10+ reaches 43,5 mph.
In terms of weight, the scooter can be found in a class of its own and only is comparable with that of the first Dualtron Thunder.
Hill Climb
The Varla Eagle Pro scooter is amazing for a variety of things including hill-climbing, which is certainly one of them. The electric scooter will go up the hills without losing energy, and it isn’t slowing down when there are heavy riders or low battery situations. In our 60-meter hill climb at 10 percent slope it was found that the scooter was able to maintain a speed of 17 mph (and more than) till approximately 10% of charge. Zero 10x Vs Varla.
The company attributes the impressive hill climbing to the robust dual motors rated at 1000W each, with a maximum power of 2600W. Varla claims that the motors generate an impressive 36 Nm of torque, sufficient to propel the scooter upwards up to 35deg.
Range
Nothing beats the good miles on a scooter and this Varla Eagle Pro scooter offers a decent 58 kilometers of tested range. It is interesting to note that the only scooter within $400 of that of the Eagle One Pro that can outdo it in the distance is Wolf Warrior X Pro, with a tested range to 41 miles. It outran other scooters that cost more, e.g., the Kaabo Mantis Pro with a 33 miles range, Dualtron Eagle Pro at 32 miles along with the Vsett 10+ with 33 miles.
The battery behind the range is a high capacity 60V 24 Ah battery with 1440 Wh of energy. It’s bigger and more energy-dense with 21700 cell batteries. This is a step up from its predecessor, the Eagle One, whose battery was classified at 946 wh, and came with only 18650 lithium cells. Both batteries integrate intelligent battery management systems that ensure that the battery’s life is not compromised. Charge the battery up to capacity takes between 8 and 9 hours however you can purchase another charger, and cut down the charging time to 4-5 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 come to stopping. Absolutely not. In fact the cable brakes as well as EABS on the Varla Eagle Pro offer proven braking power that is truly remarkable and simple to set up. Zero 10x Vs Varla.
The electric scooter stops in 3 meters from the speed at 15 mph. The performance is comparable with that of the Vsett 10+. In addition, the Varla Eagle Pro’s stopping power outdoes 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 on the Varla Eagle Pro as you would on an electric scooter equipped with hydraulic brakes but the Pro’s disc brakes don’t leave much to be desired when it comes to performance.
The EABS prevents your brakes from locking up. They are adjustable via the P-settings displayed on the display. They can be adjusted in between zero and two, where 0 is on a weak setting, and 2 refers to a strong setting.
Ride Quality
Ride quality can be described as acceptable however, it’s not exceptional. The only thing they don’t talk about 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 excellent for comfort, especially when traveling offroad. Their tubeless design is perfect for avoiding pinch flats that are caused by rocks. But, if you’re using the scooter to ride primarily off city tracks, then it’s better to switch to self-sealing knobby tires. These would automatically double your traction, retain your comfort, and decrease maintenance. Also, thanks to the tires and 17 centimeter clearance on the ground, obstacles in the track will not cause damage to the underdeck
The suspension system feels rigid. It’s a bit stiff. Varla Eagle Pro could benefit more from adjustable shocks or an existing spring with lower spring rates. The stiff suspension is effective when taking on large bumps, and stops the scooter from crashing. When the tracks are well maintained the suspension can feel a little too bouncy for the comfort.
The Eagle Pro also comes with an inbuilt steering damper. In high-speed and straight tracks, users will experience excellent stability. At top speed the stability does not equal the stability offered by dual stem monsters like the Wolf King GT but rather appears to be a Dualtron Thunder or Nami Burn equipped with a steering damper. However, the steering damper also means that riders will have to push harder on the bar handles when negotiating turns.
The deck is another cause to be concerned about. It is too short and, due to the lack of deck real estate, riders are constantly forced to place the back foot on the footrest which isn’t designed ergonomically. One bright spot to this model is that Varla Eagle Pro can make up for its poor posture with an ergonomically laid-out cockpit that is comfortable to use. It’s designed to provide comfort and convenience. The controls have been also ergonomically designed to complement the large, well-lit 9 centimeter screen.
Overall, with the heavy steering feel as well as the sporty riding posture and the rumbling acceleration, the Eagle One Pro is exhilarating to ride, but it can also be a bit of a workout when you’re racing hard.
