Varla Eagle1
The Eagle One Pro is an upgraded version of the manufacturer’s top-selling two-wheeler model, the Eagle One. Varla Eagle1. The model has largely stayed the same, the Eagle One Pro is more powerful, faster, and has a larger battery.
Learn about Varla’s Eagle One and toss it out the window. Varla’s new Varla Eagle One is now available and isn’t like the one it replaced. It’s not only about the 52% bigger battery, though that has something to do with it–more on that to come.
The Eagle One Pro is Varla’s first beast scooter and it appears there will be a lot of flagship high-performance scooters in the coming season. This is in an allusion 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 that borrows its specs taken from the beast scooters. It’s heavier than resident lightweight weights Apollo Phantom, Vsett 10+, along with the Kaabo Mantis Pro, which weighs 79 pounds. Additionally, it also has 11 inches of road tires, which is typical of beast scooters such as the Storm as well as the Wolf King GT.
It’s a great scooter. Varla Eagle One Pro scooter is also remarkable with a far over the norm top speed for a dollar. It also has an a remarkable distance per pound and excellent braking for every dollar. It’s not even the greatest part. This off-road scooter is about $640 cheaper than the most comparable beasts, Segways GT1 and the Wolf Warrior 11. Varla Eagle1.
Due to the huge tires-something you’ve always wanted to hear about-the scooter has great ground clearance at over 36 inches. They’re also good for traction, however they could be improved. The suspension feels stiff and bouncy when riding city trails, but the stiffness comes in handy when driving off-road. But you might not like the narrow deck or uncomfortable kickplate, especially when riding off-road.

Acceleration
It is the Varla Eagle Pro’s speed is not typical of lighter heavyweight scooters, it is far superior. Varla Eagle1. It has a tested speed of 2.1 seconds, which is close to the 15 mmh mark. This is the speed that’s typical of heavyweights from the past like those of 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 sole competition in the light heavyweight category includes Vsett 10+. Vsett 10+ with a 1.9 seconds of acceleration, accelerating to 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 has the same dead zone. It is possible to locate an angle that will anchor your thumb in order to ensure stability and provide it an anchor point when engaging.
Top Speed
We are awestruck by our love for the Varla Eagle Pro’s top speed, especially for its price tag. The scooter manages a whopping 40 mph top speed, which is well above average when contrasted with other scooters in the same price range. The higher-priced Kaabo Mantis Pro only hits 37 mph top speed, while the Inokim OXO, still at an expensive price, only reaches 36 mmh.
However it also is competing with lower models, such as that of the Wolf Warrior X Pro which has a top speed of 43 mph as opposed to the similar priced Vsett 10+ reaches 43,5 mph.
In its weight class, the scooter can be found in a class of its own. It also compares with its predecessor, the Dualtron Thunder.
Hill Climb
Its Varla Eagle Pro electric scooter is impressive for a lot of things including hill-climbing, which is certainly one of them. This electric scooter can climb hills without losing too much energy, and it isn’t slowing down on heavy riders or low battery situations. In our 60-meter hill test with a 10 percent slope it was found that the scooter could maintain an average speed of around 17 mph (and over) until approximately 10% of charge. Varla Eagle1.
The manufacturer credits the impeccable climb to the sturdy twin motors, rated at 1000W each, with a maximum power of 2600 W. Varla claims that the motors generate an impressive 36 Nm of torque, enough to push the scooter upwards up to 35deg.
Range
Nothing beats good mileage on the scooter, and it’s true that the Varla Eagle One Pro scooter offers a decent distance of 58 kilometers in its tested range. It is interesting to note that the only scooter less than $400 from its Eagle One Pro that can surpass it in terms of distance is Wolf Warrior X Pro, with a tested range that was 41 miles. It beat out other scooters with higher prices, e.g., the Kaabo Mantis Pro with a 33 mile of range. Dualtron Eagle Pro at 32 miles as well as the Vsett 10+ at 33 miles.
The battery behind the range is a high capacity battery of 60V 24 Ah with 1440 Wh of energy. It is larger and more energy-dense with 21700 cell batteries. This is a step up from its predecessor, that of the Eagle One, whose battery was valued at 946 wh and came with only 18650 lithium cells. Both batteries have smart battery management systems to preserve life. Charge the battery up to capacity takes between 8 and 9 hours but you can secure a second charger and reduce charge time to about 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 with cable brakes aren’t dangerous or insecure when it comes to stopping. Absolutely not. Actually, the cable brakes plus EABS on Varla Eagle Pro Varla Eagle Pro have a proven braking power that is truly impressive and very easy to use. Varla Eagle1.
The e-scooter can stop in only 3 meters from an approximate speed at 15 mph. This performance is in line with the Vsett 10, which is 10+. The Varla Eagle’s stopping strength is better than those of the Kaabo Wolf King, Kaabo Wolf Warrior X Pro, NAMI Burn-E, as well as Nami BURN-E2.
It’s possible that you don’t like squeezing the levers with cable action on the Varla Eagle Pro like you would with an electric scooter with hydraulic brakes, however, the Pro’s mechanical disc brakes don’t leave much in the dust when it comes to performance.
The EABS stops your brakes from locking up. They are adjustable via the P-settings displayed on the display. You can set them between 0 and 2, where 0 is on an insufficient setting, while 2 is a stronger setting.
Ride Quality
Ride quality can be described as decent however it’s not the best. The caveat they never discuss when talking about all-terrain e-scooters is that priority falls on off-roading features.
The tubeless pneumatic road tires are great for comfort, especially when traveling offroad. Their tubeless nature is great for avoiding pinch flats that are caused by rocks. If, however, you’re buying the scooter to ride primarily off roads, then it’s better to switch to self-sealing, tubeless knobby tires. These will instantly increase your traction, retain your comfort, and reduce maintenance. In addition, because of the tires and the 17 centimeter ground clearance, obstacles on the track won’t cause damage to the underdeck
The suspension feels rigid. This Varla Eagle Pro would have benefited more from adjustable shocks or adapting a spring with lower spring rates. But the rigid setup is efficient when taking on large bumps, and stops the scooter from falling off. If the track is well maintained the suspension is somewhat bouncy for ease of use.
The Eagle Pro also comes with an inbuilt steering damper. At high speeds along straight tracks users can enjoy a great stability. At top speed the stability doesn’t match that from dual-stem beasts such as the Wolf King GT but rather feels like the Dualtron Thunder or Nami Burn equipped with a steering damper. On the downside, the steering damper also means that riders will need to exert more force on the handlebars when negotiating turns.
The deck is another point of concern. It is too short and due to this lack of deck space it is a constant struggle for riders to place the back foot on the footrest, which is not ergonomically designed. The only bright side is the Varla Eagle Pro compensates for its poor posture with an ergonomically laid-out cockpit that is easy on your hands. It’s designed to provide comfort and ease of use. The controls can be also ergonomically designed and complement the large, well-lit 9 centimeter screen.
Overall, between the hefty steering feel, the sporty riding stance and the rumbling acceleration The Eagle One Pro is exhilarating to ride, but it can also be quite workout when you’re riding hard.
