Pegasus Varla
The Eagle One Pro is an upgraded version of the most popular two-wheeler, which is the Eagle One. Pegasus Varla. The style has remained the same, The Eagle One Pro is more efficient, more powerful and comes with a bigger battery pack.
Take what you knew concerning Varla’s Eagle One and toss it out the window. The Varla Eagle One is now available and isn’t like its predecessor. 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 we’ll see a lot of high-performance, flagship scooters this year. This is in an allusion to Segway’s GT Series and the brand new Apollo Pro.
Varla’s Eagle One Pro sits on the fence as a light heavyweight scooter with specs borrowed from beast scooters. It surpasses the weight of the local lightweight weights Apollo Phantom, Vsett 10+, and Kaabo Mantis Pro, which weighs 79 lbs. It also comes with 11 inches road tires that are typical of beast scooters like 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 average top speed in dollars, a remarkable performance per pound and excellent braking per dollar. That’s not even the best aspect. The off-road scooter costs about $640 less than the closest competing beasts, Segways GT1 and the Wolf Warrior 11. Pegasus Varla.
Because of the big tires-something you’ve always wanted to hear about-the scooter has great ground clearance of more than 36 inches. They’re also excellent for traction, however they could be improved. The suspension feels stiff and bouncy when riding city trails. However, the stiffness is useful when traveling off-road. But you might not like the short deck or its uncomfortably shaped kickplate, particularly off-road.

Acceleration
Varla Eagle Pro Varla Eagle Pro’s acceleration is not typical of light heavyweight scooters-it is far superior. Pegasus Varla. It is tested to have an speed of 2.1 seconds to the 15 millimeters mark. This is the speed that’s expected of veteran heavyweight scooters like the Wolf Warrior 11 at 1.9 seconds, Dualtron Thunder at 2.0 seconds and it’s Dualtron Thunder II at 2.2 seconds. It is 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 up 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 that it also shares identical dead zones. You might want to find an angle that will anchor your thumb in order to stabilize it and give it an anchor point when engaged.
Top Speed
We’re awestruck with the Varla Eagle Pro’s top speed, especially for its price tag. The scooter boasts a whopping 40 mph top speed, which is a lot higher than what is considered to be average when it is compared 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 the higher cost is only able to reach 36 mmh.
However, it also is competing with lower models like that of the Wolf Warrior X Pro which achieves a top speed at 43 mph and the similar priced Vsett 10+ reaches 43,5 mph.
In terms of weight, the scooter is in a league of its own and compares with that of the first Dualtron Thunder.
Hill Climb
The Varla Eagle Pro electric scooter is amazing for a variety of things including hill-climbing, which is certainly one of them. This electric scooter will go up the hills without losing power, and doesn’t seem to let up on heavy riders or poor battery levels. During our 60 m hill test at a 10 percent slope it was found that the scooter was able to maintain a speed of around 17 mph (and more than) till approximately 10% of charge. Pegasus Varla.
The company attributes the impressive hill-climbing ability to the strong dual motors that are rated at 1000W each, with a peak power of 2600 W. Varla claims that the motors deliver an impressive 36 Nm in torque. This is enough to propel the scooter up gradients of up to 35deg.
Range
Nothing beats good mileage on a scooter which is why this Varla Eagle One Pro scooter offers a decent 58 kilometers of tested range. The only scooter that is within the $400 range of its Eagle One Pro that can outdo it in the range is the Wolf Warrior X Pro, with a tested range that was 41 miles. It beat out other scooters that cost more, e.g., the Kaabo Mantis Pro with a 33 miles of range. Dualtron Eagle Pro at 32 miles, along with the Vsett 10+ at 33 miles.
Behind the range is a large capacity, 60V 24 Ah battery with 1440 Wh of energy. It’s larger and more energy-dense with 21700 cells in the battery. This is a step up from its predecessor, it was the Eagle One, whose battery was classified at 946 wh, and had only 18650 lithium cells. Both batteries have intelligent battery management systems that preserve life. Charging the battery to capacity takes 8-9 hrs, but you can secure another charger, and cut down the charge time to about 4 to 5 hours.
Braking
Let’s face it, we wish all scooters had hydraulic brakes. However, that doesn’t mean electric scooters with cable brakes are dangerous or insecure when they come to stopping. Absolutely not. In fact, the cable brakes plus EABS on the Varla Eagle Pro offer tested braking force that is truly remarkable and very easy to use. Pegasus Varla.
The e-scooter stops in just 3 meters from a speed at 15 mph. The performance is comparable with the Vsett 10+. In addition, the Varla Eagle’s stopping power outdoes 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 like you would with an electric scooter that has hydraulic brakes but the Pro’s disc brakes do not leave anything to be desired when it comes to performance.
The EABS will stop that the brakes aren’t locking up. They can be adjusted using the P-settings displayed on the display. They can be adjusted in between zero and two, with 0 being an insufficient setting, while 2 is a stronger setting.
Ride Quality
Its ride is good, but it’s not great. The caveat they never discuss when advertising all-terrain electric scooters is that the primary focus should be on the off-roading measures.
The tubeless pneumatic road tires are great for comfort, especially when driving offroad. The tubeless nature of these tires is ideal for evading pinch flats from rocks. However, if you’re getting the scooter to use primarily on urban tracks, you’re better off changing to self-sealing knobby tires. These would automatically double your traction, preserve your comfort, and decrease maintenance. In addition, because of the tires and a 17 centimeter clearance from the ground, obstacles in the track will not scrape the deck beneath.
The suspension is rigid. The Varla Eagle Pro would benefit more from adjustable shocks, or by adjusting a spring with less spring force. The stiff suspension is effective when dealing with large bumps and stops the scooter from bottoming out. If the track is well maintained the suspension can feel a little too bouncy for ease of use.
It is also equipped with a steering damper. Eagle Pro also comes with a built-in steering damper. In high-speed as well as straight track, users will enjoy excellent stability. At top speed the stability isn’t as good as that from dual-stem beasts like the Wolf King GT but rather is more like a Dualtron Thunder or Nami Burn with a steering damper installed. However, the damper on the steering also makes it so that drivers will need to exert more force on the bar handles when making turns.
The deck is another point to be concerned about. It’s too narrow, and with this shortage of usable deck real estate the riders are forced to place the back foot on the footrest which isn’t designed ergonomically. The only bright side is that the Varla Eagle Pro makes up for its poor posture with a well-laid-out cockpit that is comfortable to use. It is designed for comfort and ease of use. Its controls can be also ergonomically designed to complement the clear, large 9 centimeter screen.
Overall, with the heavy steering feel as well as the sporty riding posture and the fast acceleration that the Eagle One Pro is exhilarating to ride, but it could also be a bit of a workout when you’re riding hard.
