Varla Eagle.One
The Eagle One Pro is an upgraded version of the manufacturer’s top-selling two-wheeler model, The Eagle One. Varla Eagle.One. While the design has pretty much stayed the same but the Eagle One Pro is more robust, quicker, and has a larger battery pack.
Take what you knew regarding Varla’s Eagle One and toss it out the window. Varla’s new Varla Eagle One Pro is here and isn’t like its predecessor. 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’s likely that we’ll see a lot of high-performance, flagship scooters this year. This is a the context of Segway’s GT Series and the brand new Apollo Pro.
Varla’s Eagle One Pro sits on the edge of being an extremely light-weight scooter that borrows its specs taken from the beast scooters. It’s heavier than resident light heavier models Apollo Phantom, Vsett 10+ and Kaabo Mantis Pro, which weighs 79lbs. Additionally, it also features 11 inches 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 performance per pound and excellent braking for every dollar. It’s not even the greatest aspect. The off-road scooter is about $640 cheaper than the most comparable beasts, Segways GT1 and the Wolf Warrior 11. Varla Eagle.One.
Thanks to the large tires-something you always want to hear about-the scooter offers a great ground clearance at over 36 inches. They are also great for traction but could be better. The suspension feels stiff and bouncy for city trails, but the stiffness is useful when traveling off-road. However, you may not be a fan of the shorter deck or the uncomfortably shaped kickplate, particularly off-road.

Acceleration
The Varla Eagle Pro’s speed does not match that of lighter heavyweight scooters, it is so much better. Varla Eagle.One. It’s tested with an acceleration of 2.1 seconds up to 15 millimeters mark. This is the speed that’s you would expect from heavyweights with a long history such as those of Wolf Warrior 11 at 1.9 seconds, Dualtron Thunder at 2.0 seconds and the Dualtron Thunder II at 2.2 seconds. It is the Varla Eagle Pro’s sole competition in the light heavyweight category is Vsett 10+. Vsett 10+ with a 1.9 seconds of acceleration, accelerating between 15 and 15 mph.
The Eagle One Pro uses the same throttle as the NAMI and Wolf King GT, which implies that it also has the same dead zone. You may want to consider finding an angle to 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 the price. The scooter manages a whopping 40 mph top speed, which is a lot higher than normal when compared to others within the same price range. The more expensive Kaabo Mantis Pro only hits a 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 such as those of Wolf Warrior X Pro which has a top speed that is 43 mph and the similarly priced Vsett 10+ reaches 43,5 mph.
In terms of weight it is a scooter can be found in a league of its own and can be compared to that of the first Dualtron Thunder.
Hill Climb
The Varla Eagle Pro scooter is remarkable for many things, and hill-climbing is definitely one of the most impressive. This electric scooter can climb the hills without losing power, and isn’t slowing down when there are heavy riders or poor battery levels. During our 60 m hill test with a 10 percent slope and a 10% gradient, the scooter was able to maintain a speed of around 17 mph (and over) until around 10% charge. Varla Eagle.One.
The company credits the superb hill climbing to the robust dual motors that are rated at 1000W each, with a maximum power of 2600 W. Varla claims that the motors generate 36 Nm in torque. This is sufficient to propel the scooter through hills of up to 35deg.
Range
Nothing beats the good miles on the scooter, and the Varla Eagle One Pro scooter gives a good distance of 58 kilometers in its tested range. Interestingly, the only scooter within $400 of that of the Eagle One Pro that can surpass it in terms of distance is Wolf Warrior X Pro, which has a range tested of 41 miles. It beat out other scooters that cost more, e.g., the Kaabo Mantis Pro with a 33 mile of range. Dualtron Eagle Pro at 32 miles along with the Vsett 10+ at 33 miles.
Behind the range lies a high capacity, 60V 24 Ah battery that has 1440 Wh of power. It’s bigger and more efficient with 21700 battery cells. This is an improvement from its predecessor, that of the Eagle One, whose battery was classified at 946 wh, and only came with 18650 lithium cell. Both batteries are equipped with intelligent battery management systems that preserve life. Charge the battery up to capacity can take between 8 and 9 hours, however, you can get a second charger and reduce charge time to about 4-5 hours.
Braking
Let’s face it, we would prefer that all scooters came with hydraulic brakes. That’s not to say that electric scooters that have cable brakes are dangerous or unreliable when they come to stopping. Absolutely not. In fact the cable brakes as well as EABS in Varla Eagle Pro Varla Eagle Pro feature tested braking power that is truly impressive and simple to set up. Varla Eagle.One.
The e-scooter stops in just 3 meters from a speed that is 15 mph. This performance is in line with the Vsett 10-plus. The Varla Eagle’s stopping strength is better than 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 in the Varla Eagle Pro like you would with an electric scooter with hydraulic brakes, but the Pro’s disc brakes do not leave anything on the table when they perform.
The EABS will stop the brakes from locking. They are adjustable via the P-settings on the display. They can be adjusted between 0 and 2, which means 0 is a weak setting, and 2 is a stronger setting.
Ride Quality
Its ride is good however it’s not the best. One thing they do not talk about when promoting all-terrain e-scooters is that priority falls on off-roading features.
The tubeless pneumatic road tires are excellent for comfort, especially when traveling offroad. Their tubeless nature is great for avoiding pinch flats that are caused by rocks. However, if you’re getting the scooter for use mostly on roads, then it’s better to switch to self-sealing, tubeless knobby tires. They will automatically increase your traction, preserve your comfort, and decrease maintenance. In addition, because of the tires and the 17 centimeter clearance from the ground obstacles on the track will not scratch the underdeck
The suspension system feels rigid. The Varla Eagle Pro would have benefited more from adjustable shocks, or by adjusting an existing spring with a lower spring rate. However, the stiff setup is efficient when handling large bumps and keeps the scooter from bottoming out. When the tracks are well maintained the suspension can feel a little too bouncy for the comfort.
It is also equipped with a steering damper. Eagle Pro also comes with a built-in steering damper. At high speeds as well as straight track, users will enjoy excellent stability. At top speed the stability does not equal the stability of dual stem beasts like those on the Wolf King GT but rather feels like a Dualtron Thunder or Nami Burn equipped with a steering damper. The downside is that the damper for steering also means that riders will have to push harder on the bar handles when negotiating turns.
The deck is another point of concern. It is too short and due to this lack of deck space, riders are constantly forced to place the back foot on the footrest, which isn’t ergonomically designed. The only bright side to this model is that Varla Eagle Pro compensates for the sloppy stance by providing a well-laid-out cockpit that is easy to hold. It is designed for comfort and ease of use. Controls have been also ergonomically designed to 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 but could also be quite an exercise when you’re on the road for a long time.
