Varla Pegasus Long Range & Solid Tire City Commuter Electric Scooter
The Eagle One Pro is an upgraded version of the top-selling two-wheeler model, called the Eagle One. Varla Pegasus Long Range & Solid Tire City Commuter Electric Scooter. Although the style has remained the same, The Eagle One Pro is more powerful, faster and comes with a bigger battery pack.
Take what you knew about Varla’s Eagle One and toss it out the window. Varla’s new Varla Eagle One Pro is here, and it is nothing like its predecessor. It’s not only about the larger 52% battery, although that could have some connection to it. More on that later.
The Eagle One Pro is Varla’s first beast scooter and it’s likely that we’ll see 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 fence as it’s a light weight scooter that borrows its specs of beast-scooters. It surpasses the weight of resident lightweight heavier models Apollo Phantom, Vsett 10+ as well as the Kaabo Mantis Pro, which weighs 79 lbs. Additionally, it also features 11 inches road tires that are typical of beast scooters such as Storm and Wolf King GT. 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 in dollars, exceptional performance per pound as well as excellent brakes per dollar. This isn’t even the most impressive aspect. The off-road scooter is priced at about $640 less than the closest competing beasts, Segways GT1 and the Wolf Warrior 11. Varla Pegasus Long Range & Solid Tire City Commuter Electric Scooter.
Due to the huge tires-something that you’re always hoping to hear about-the scooter is able to stand on the ground with a good clearance, with a total of 36 inches. They’re also excellent for traction, but could be improved. The suspension feels stiff and bouncy for city trails, but the stiffness is useful when traveling 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 acceleration does not match that of lightweight heavyweight scooters. It is so much better. Varla Pegasus Long Range & Solid Tire City Commuter Electric Scooter. It is tested to have an acceleration of 2.1 seconds up to 15 millimeter mark. This is what is typical of heavyweights from the past 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. The Varla Eagle Pro’s only rival in the light heavyweight category will be Vsett 10+. 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 has similar dead zones. It is possible to locate an angle to anchor your thumb to stabilize it and give it an ideal reference point when engaging.
Top Speed
We are awestruck by this Varla Eagle Pro’s top speed, especially for its price tag. The scooter has a staggering forty mph top speed, which is much higher than the average when it is compared with other scooters within the same price range. The higher-priced Kaabo Mantis Pro only hits 37 mph top speed, while the Inokim OXO, still at a higher price is only able to reach 36 mmh.
However, it also faces competition from lower-priced models such as that of the Wolf Warrior X Pro which has an top speed at 43 mph as opposed to the comparable Vsett 10+ reaches 43,5 mph.
In terms of weight, the scooter is in a class of its own and compares to that of the first Dualtron Thunder.
Hill Climb
Its Varla Eagle Pro scooter is amazing for a variety of things, and hill-climbing is definitely one of the best. This electric scooter can climb the hills without losing power, and it doesn’t seem to let up on heavy riders or low battery conditions. In our 60-meter hill climb at 10% slope and a 10% gradient, the scooter could maintain a speed that was around 17 mph (and more than) until around 10% charge. Varla Pegasus Long Range & Solid Tire City Commuter Electric Scooter.
The manufacturer credits the impeccable climb to the sturdy dual motors that are rated at 1000W each with a peak power of 2600W. Varla claims that the motors deliver 36 Nm of torque, which is enough to propel the scooter upwards up to 35deg.
Range
Nothing beats good mileage on an electric scooter, and this Varla Eagle Pro electric scooter has a reasonable 58 kilometers of tested range. It is interesting to note that the only scooter that is within the $400 range from that of the Eagle One Pro that can beat it on the 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 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 with 1440 Wh of energy. It’s bigger and more efficient with 21700 cell batteries. It’s a leap from its predecessor, that of the Eagle One, whose battery was classified at 946 wh, and came with only 18650 lithium cells. Both batteries have intelligent battery management systems that preserve life. The process of charging the battery to its capacity takes between 8 and 9 hours however, you can get an additional charger to reduce charging time to four to five hours.
Braking
We would prefer that all scooters came with hydraulic brakes. That’s not to say that electric scooters equipped with cable brakes are dangerous or unreliable when it comes to stopping. Absolutely not. In fact the cable brakes and EABS in the Varla Eagle Pro feature tested braking power that is truly impressive and very easy to use. Varla Pegasus Long Range & Solid Tire City Commuter Electric Scooter.
The e-scooter can stop in only 3 meters from the speed of 15 mph. The performance is comparable with that of the Vsett 10-plus. Again, the Varla Eagle Pro’s stopping strength is better than 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 cable-actuated levers that are on the Varla Eagle Pro the way you would do on an electric scooter equipped with hydraulic brakes but the Pro’s disc brakes do not leave anything in the dust when they perform.
The EABS prevents that the brakes aren’t locking up. They can be adjusted using the P-settings displayed on the display. They can be adjusted between 0 and 2, where 0 is on an insufficient setting, while 2 is for a high setting.
Ride Quality
Ride quality can be described as acceptable however, it’s not exceptional. One thing they do not mention when promoting all-terrain e-scooters is that priority falls on off-roading features.
The pneumatic road tires with no tube are excellent for comfort, particularly when traveling offroad. Their tubeless design is perfect for evading pinch flats from rocks. However, if you’re getting the scooter for use mostly on roads, then it’s better to switch to self-sealing knobby tires. They will automatically increase your traction, retain your comfort and cut down on 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 is hard. It’s a bit stiff. Varla Eagle Pro would have benefited more from adjustable shocks, or by adjusting a spring with lower spring rates. However, the stiff setup is efficient when handling large bumps and prevents the scooter from crashing. On well-maintained tracks the suspension can feel a little too bouncy for comfort.
The Eagle Pro also comes with a built-in steering damper. In high-speed along straight tracks riders can enjoy a great stability. At top speed the stability doesn’t match that from dual-stem beasts such as Wolf King GT. Wolf King GT but rather appears to be a Dualtron Thunder or Nami Burn with a damper for steering installed. On the downside, the damper on the steering also makes it so that drivers need to exert more force on the handlebars when negotiating turns.
The deck is yet another area to be concerned about. It’s too narrow and, due to the lack of deck real estate the riders are forced to put their back foot on the footrest that isn’t ergonomically designed. The only bright side to this model is that Varla Eagle Pro compensates for a poor stance with a well-laid-out cockpit that is comfortable to use. It’s designed to provide comfort and user-friendliness. Controls can be also ergonomically designed to complement the well-readable, large 9 centimeter display.
Overall, between the hefty steering feel as well as the sporty riding posture and the fast acceleration, the Eagle One Pro is exhilarating to ride. It could also be a bit of an exercise when you’re racing hard.
