Mistress Varla
The Eagle One Pro is an upgraded version of the company’s top-selling two-wheeler model, the Eagle One. Mistress Varla. Although the style has remained the same however, the Eagle One Pro is more powerful, faster and features a larger battery pack.
You know what you learned regarding Varla’s Eagle One and toss it out the window. It’s the Varla Eagle One is now available and it’s nothing like the one it replaced. And it’s not just about the 52% larger battery, even though it has something to do with 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 high-performance, flagship scooters this 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 with specs borrowed taken from the beast scooters. It surpasses the weight of resident light heavier models Apollo Phantom, Vsett 10+, and Kaabo Mantis Pro, which weighs 79 pounds. And, it also comes with 11 inches road tires that are 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 impressive with a well over the norm top speed for a dollar. It also has an an impressive distance per pound as well as excellent brakes per dollar. This isn’t even the most impressive part. This off-road scooter is priced at about $640 less than the most comparable beasts, Segways GT1 and the Wolf Warrior 11. Mistress Varla.
Due to the huge tires-something that you’re always hoping to hear about-the scooter offers a great ground clearance, with a total of 36 inches. They’re also excellent for traction, but could be improved. The suspension feels stiff and bouncy on urban trails, but the stiffness comes in handy when driving off-road. However, you may not be a fan of the short deck or its uncomfortably shaped kickplate, particularly off-road.

Acceleration
The Varla Eagle Pro’s acceleration does not match that of lighter heavyweight scooters, it is far superior. Mistress Varla. It has a tested acceleration of 2.1 seconds to the 15 mmh mark. This is the speed that’s you would expect from heavyweights with a long history such as that of the Wolf Warrior 11 at 1.9 seconds, Dualtron Thunder at 2.0 seconds and the Dualtron Thunder II at 2.2 seconds. The Varla Eagle Pro’s only competition in the light heavyweight category is Vsett 10+. Vsett 10+ with a 1.9 seconds acceleration from 15 to mph.
The Eagle One Pro uses the same throttle as the NAMI and Wolf King GT, which means that it also has identical dead zones. You might want to find an angle to anchor your thumb in order to ensure stability and provide it a reference point when engaged.
Top Speed
We’re awestruck with our love for the Varla Eagle Pro’s top speed, especially for its price. The scooter manages a whopping 40 mph top speed, which is well above what is considered to be average when compared to others in the same price range. The more expensive Kaabo Mantis Pro only hits a 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 like those of Wolf Warrior X Pro which achieves an top speed at 43 mph and the similarly priced Vsett 10+ reaches 43,5 mph.
In its weight class it is a scooter can be found in a league of its own. It also compares to the original Dualtron Thunder.
Hill Climb
Its Varla Eagle Pro scooter is amazing for a variety of things including hill-climbing, which is certainly one of them. The electric scooter can climb the hills without losing energy, and it does not seem to slow down with heavy riders or in poor battery levels. In our 60-meter hill test at a 10 percent gradient and a 10% gradient, the scooter was able to maintain a speed of 17 mph (and over) till about 10% charge. Mistress Varla.
The company attributes the impressive hill climbing to the robust dual motors that are rated at 1000W each with a maximum power of 2600W. Varla claims that the motors deliver 36 Nm in torque. This is sufficient to propel the scooter upwards up to 35deg.
Range
Nothing beats the good miles on an electric scooter which is why it’s true that the Varla Eagle Pro scooter gives a good 58 km of range tested. Interestingly, the only scooter that is within the $400 range from the Eagle One Pro that can outdo it in the scale is the Wolf Warrior X Pro, which has a range tested of 41 miles. It beat other scooters that cost more, e.g., the Kaabo Mantis Pro with a 33 miles distance, Dualtron Eagle Pro at 32 miles as well as the 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. It’s a leap from its predecessor, that of the Eagle One, whose battery was valued at 946 wh and had only 18650 lithium cell. 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 between 8 and 9 hours however you can purchase another charger, and cut down the charge time to about four to five hours.
Braking
Let’s face it; we would prefer that all scooters came with hydraulic brakes. This doesn’t mean that electric scooters equipped with cable brakes aren’t dangerous or insecure when they come to stopping. Absolutely not. In fact the cable brakes and EABS in the Varla Eagle Pro have a tested braking power that is truly remarkable and easy to get right. Mistress Varla.
The e-scooter can stop in only 3 meters from the speed that is 15 mph. The performance is comparable with that of the Vsett 10-plus. Again, the Varla Eagle’s stopping power is superior to the Kaabo Wolf King, Kaabo Wolf Warrior X Pro, NAMI Burn-E, as well as Nami BURN-E2.
It’s not as fun to squeeze the levers with cable action in the Varla Eagle Pro the way you would do on an electric scooter equipped with hydraulic brakes but the Pro’s disc brakes leave nothing in the dust when they perform.
The EABS stops the brakes from locking. They can be adjusted using the P-settings displayed on the display. They can be adjusted in between zero and two, with 0 being a weak setting, and 2 is for a high setting.
Ride Quality
Its ride is good however, it’s not exceptional. One thing they do not talk about when talking about all-terrain e-scooters is that the primary focus should be on the off-roading measures.
The tubeless pneumatic road tires are excellent for comfort, particularly when driving offroad. Their tubeless design is perfect for evading pinch flats from rocks. However, if you’re getting the scooter to ride primarily off urban tracks, it’s better to switch to self-sealing knobby tires. These will instantly increase your traction, retain your comfort, and reduce maintenance. In addition, because of the tires and a 17 centimeter clearance on the ground, obstacles in the track will not cause damage to the underdeck
The suspension is stiff. The Varla Eagle Pro could have been better off with adjustable shocks or a spring with less spring force. But the rigid setup is efficient when handling large bumps and stops the scooter from falling off. On well-maintained tracks the suspension can feel a little too bouncy for ease of use.
The Eagle Pro also comes with an inbuilt steering damper. At high speeds along straight tracks riders can enjoy a great stability. At top speed the stability does not equal the stability of dual stem beasts such as those on the Wolf King GT but rather is more like the Dualtron Thunder or Nami Burn with a steering damper installed. On the downside, the steering damper also means that riders need to exert more force on the handlebars when negotiating turns.
The deck is yet another area of concern. It’s too small and, due to the lack of usable deck real estate, riders are constantly forced to place the back foot on the footrest which is not ergonomically designed. One bright spot to this model is that Varla Eagle Pro compensates for a poor stance with a well-laid-out cockpit that is easy on your hands. It was designed to be comfortable and user-friendliness. Controls are 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 fast acceleration, the Eagle One Pro is exhilarating to ride but can also be a workout when you’re riding hard.
