Varla.
The Eagle One Pro is an upgraded version of the company’s most popular two-wheeler, which is The Eagle One. Varla.. Although the design has pretty much stayed the same but the Eagle One Pro is more efficient, more powerful, and has a larger battery.
You know what you learned about Varla’s Eagle One and toss it out the window. It’s the Varla Eagle One is out and it’s nothing like the one it replaced. It’s not just about the 52% bigger 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 appears there will be a lot of high-performance, flagship 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 line as an extremely light-weight scooter with specs borrowed taken from the 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. Additionally, it also comes with 11 inches road tires, which is typical of beast scooters such as the Storm and Wolf King GT.
It’s a great scooter. Varla Eagle One Pro scooter is also remarkable with a far over the norm top speed per dollar, exceptional range per pound, as well as excellent braking per dollar. This isn’t even the most impressive feature. The off-road scooter is about $640 cheaper than the closest competing beasts, Segways GT1 and the Wolf Warrior 11. Varla..
Due to the huge tires-something you’ve always wanted to hear-the scooter has great ground clearance, with a total of 36 inches. They’re also great for traction but could be improved. The suspension is firm and bouncy when riding city trails, but the stiffness is useful when traveling off-road. But you might not like the narrow deck or uncomfortably shaped kickplate, particularly off-road.

Acceleration
The Varla Eagle Pro’s acceleration does not match that of lightweight heavyweight scooters. It is far superior. Varla.. It’s tested with an acceleration rate of 2.1 seconds, which is close to the 15 millimeter mark. This is the performance 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, along with the Dualtron Thunder II at 2.2 seconds. It is the Varla Eagle Pro’s only rival in the light heavyweight category includes 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 it also shares identical dead zones. You might want to find an angle to anchor your thumb in order to stabilize it and give it an anchor location when engaged.
Top Speed
We are awestruck by the Varla Eagle Pro’s top speed, especially for the price. The scooter has a staggering forty mph top speed, which is much higher than the what is considered to be average when compared to others within the same price range. The more expensive Kaabo Mantis Pro only hits 37 mph top speed, while the Inokim OXO, still at an expensive price is only able to reach 36 mmh.
However, it also faces competition from lower-priced models like those of Wolf Warrior X Pro which manages a top speed that is 43 mph and the similarly priced Vsett 10+ reaches 43,5 mph.
In terms of weight, the scooter stands in its weight class and is in a league of its own. It also can be compared with the original Dualtron Thunder.
Hill Climb
The Varla Eagle Pro scooter is impressive for a lot of things but hill-climbing is one of the best. This electric scooter will go up the hills without losing power, and isn’t slowing down with heavy riders or in poor battery levels. In our 60-meter hill climb at 10 percent gradient and a 10% gradient, the scooter was able to keep an average speed that was around 17 mph (and over) till approximately 10% of charge. Varla..
The company credits the superb hill climbing to the robust twin motors, rated at 1000 W each, with a peak power of 2600 W. Varla claims that the motors generate 36 Nm in torque. This is sufficient to propel the scooter upwards up to 35deg.
Range
Nothing beats the good miles on the scooter which is why this Varla Eagle Pro scooter gives a good 58 kilometers of tested range. Interestingly, the only scooter within $400 from its Eagle One Pro that can surpass it in terms of scale 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 mile distance, Dualtron Eagle Pro at 32 miles, and Vsett 10+ at 33 miles.
The battery behind the range is a large capacity 60V 24 Ah battery that has 1440 Wh of power. It is larger and has more energy-dense 21700 cell batteries. It’s a leap from its predecessor, the Eagle One, whose battery was classified at 946 wh, and only came with 18650 lithium cells. Both batteries integrate smart battery management systems to keep the battery in good condition. The process of charging the battery to its capacity can take between 8 and 9 hours, however, you can get another charger, and cut down the charging time to four to five hours.
Braking
Let’s face it, we would like to see all scooters have hydraulic brakes. That’s not to say that electric scooters equipped with cable brakes are unsafe or insecure when it comes to stopping. Absolutely not. In fact the cable brakes as well as EABS of the Varla Eagle Pro offer proven braking power that is truly exceptional and very easy to use. Varla..
The electric scooter stops in 3 meters from an approximate speed that is 15 mph. This is in line with Vsett 10+. Vsett 10, which is 10+. The Varla Eagle’s stopping strength is better than Kaabo Wolf King, the Kaabo Wolf King, Kaabo Wolf Warrior X Pro, NAMI Burn-E and Nami BURN-E2.
It’s not as fun to squeeze the levers with cable action that are on the Varla Eagle Pro like you would with an electric scooter that has hydraulic brakes but the Pro’s mechanical disc brakes leave nothing on the table when they perform.
The EABS prevents your brakes from locking. They are adjustable via the P-settings displayed on the display. You can adjust them between 0 and 2, where 0 is on an insufficient setting, while 2 is a stronger setting.
Ride Quality
Its ride is acceptable however it’s not the best. One thing they do not mention when promoting all-terrain e-scooters is that the primary focus should be on the off-roading measures.
The tubeless pneumatic road tires are great for comfort, particularly when driving offroad. Their tubeless design is perfect to avoid pinch flats caused by rocks. But, if you’re using the scooter to ride primarily off urban tracks, it’s better to switch to self-sealing knobby tires. They will automatically increase your traction, retain your comfort and cut down on maintenance. Also, thanks to the tires and the 17 centimeter clearance from the ground obstacles on the track won’t scrape the underdeck
The suspension system feels stiff. It’s a bit stiff. Varla Eagle Pro could benefit more from adjustable shocks or the spring to a lower spring rate. However, the stiff setup is efficient when taking on large bumps, and prevents the scooter from falling off. When the tracks are well maintained the suspension is somewhat bouncy for ease of use.
It is also equipped with a steering damper. Eagle Pro also comes with an inbuilt steering damper. In high-speed 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 such as the Wolf King GT but rather appears to be the Dualtron Thunder or Nami Burn equipped with a steering damper. On the downside, the steering damper also means that riders need to exert more force on the bar handles when negotiating turns.
The deck is another cause of concern. It is too short and due to this lack of deck real estate, riders are constantly forced to put their back foot on the footrest which isn’t designed ergonomically. The only bright side to this model is that Varla Eagle Pro can make up for the sloppy stance by providing an ergonomically laid-out cockpit that is comfortable on your hands. It was designed to be comfortable and ease of use. Its controls are also ergonomically designed and compliment the clear, large 9 centimeter screen.
Overall, between the heavy feel of the steering as well as the sporty riding posture and the fast acceleration The Eagle One Pro is exhilarating to ride. It could also be a workout when you’re racing hard.
