Varla Pegasus Range
The Eagle One Pro is an upgraded version of the manufacturer’s top-selling two-wheeler model, the Eagle One. Varla Pegasus Range. While the model has largely stayed the same, The Eagle One Pro is more robust, quicker and comes with a bigger battery.
Take what you knew concerning Varla’s Eagle One and toss it out the window. Varla’s new Varla Eagle One Pro comes here and it’s nothing like the one it replaced. It’s not only about the larger 52% battery, although that could have some connection to it. More on that to come.
The Eagle One Pro is Varla’s first monster scooter and it appears we’ll see plenty of flagship high-performance scooters in the coming season. This is in the context of Segway’s GT Series and the brand new Apollo Pro.
Varla’s Eagle One Pro sits on the line as it’s a light weight scooter that borrows its specs from beast scooters. It is heavier than its light heavier models Apollo Phantom, Vsett 10+, and Kaabo Mantis Pro, which weighs 79 lbs. Additionally, it also has 11 inches of road tires that are typical of beast scooters such as the Storm and Wolf King GT.
It’s a great scooter. Varla Eagle One Pro scooter is also impressive with a well above trend top speed in dollars, a remarkable distance per pound and excellent braking per dollar. It’s not even the greatest part. The off-road scooter is about $640 cheaper than its closest rivals, Segways GT1 and the Wolf Warrior 11. Varla Pegasus Range.
Due to the huge tires-something you always want to hear-the scooter offers a great ground clearance at over 36 inches. They are also great for traction but could be improved. The suspension is firm and bouncy when riding urban trails, but the stiffness can be useful when driving off-road. However, you may not be a fan of the narrow deck or uncomfortably shaped kickplate, particularly off-road.

Acceleration
Varla Eagle Pro Varla Eagle Pro’s acceleration does not match that of lighter heavyweight scooters, it is so much better. Varla Pegasus Range. It’s tested with an speed of 2.1 seconds up to 15 mmh 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, and the Dualtron Thunder II at 2.2 seconds. The Varla Eagle Pro’s only competition in the light heavyweight class will be that of the Vsett 10+ with a 1.9 seconds acceleration 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 identical dead zones. It is possible to locate an angle to anchor your thumb in order to keep it in place and provide it an anchor point when engaging.
Top Speed
We love our love for 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 normal when it is compared with other scooters in the same price range. The higher-priced Kaabo Mantis Pro only hits a 37 mph top speed, while the Inokim OXO, still at a higher price has a lower speed of 36 millimeters.
However it also faces competition from lower-priced models like those of Wolf Warrior X Pro which achieves a top speed that is 43 mph as opposed to the similarly priced Vsett 10+ reaches 43,5 mph.
In terms of weight in the weight class, the scooter is in a class of its own. It also compares with that of the first Dualtron Thunder.
Hill Climb
Its Varla Eagle Pro electronic scooter is impressive for a lot of things but hill-climbing is one of the best. The electric scooter will go up hills without losing too much power, and it doesn’t seem to let up on heavy riders or low battery conditions. When we conducted our 60-meter hill test with a 10% slope it was found that the scooter could maintain an average speed that was around 17 mph (and over) until around 10% charge. Varla Pegasus Range.
The manufacturer credits the impeccable hill-climbing ability to the strong dual motors rated at 1000W each with a maximum power of 2600W. Varla claims that the motors produce an impressive 36 Nm of torque, sufficient to propel the scooter upwards up to 35deg.
Range
Nothing beats good mileage on the scooter and it’s true that the Varla Eagle Pro electric scooter gives a good 58 km of range tested. Interestingly, the only scooter less than $400 from the Eagle One Pro that can outdo it in the range is the Wolf Warrior X Pro, with a tested range to 41 miles. It outran other scooters with higher prices, e.g., the Kaabo Mantis Pro with a 33 miles range, Dualtron Eagle Pro at 32 miles, as well as the Vsett 10+ with 33 miles.
The battery behind the range is a large capacity battery of 60V 24 Ah that has 1440 Wh of power. It’s bigger and has more energy-dense 21700 cells in the battery. This is a step up from its predecessor, that of the Eagle One, whose battery was rated at 946 wh and came with only 18650 lithium cell. Both batteries have smart battery management systems to ensure that the battery’s life is not compromised. Charging the battery to capacity takes between 8 and 9 hours but you can secure 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 equipped with cable brakes are dangerous or insecure when they come 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 easy to get right. Varla Pegasus Range.
The e-scooter can stop in only 3 meters from a speed that is 15 mph. This performance is in line with the Vsett 10-plus. The Varla Eagle Pro’s stopping power is superior to Kaabo Wolf King, 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 cable-actuated levers in 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 in the dust when it comes to performance.
The EABS will stop your brakes from locking. They are adjustable using the P-settings on the display. You can set them between 0 and 2 which means 0 is a weak setting, and 2 is a stronger setting.
Ride Quality
Its ride is acceptable however, it’s not exceptional. The caveat they never discuss when talking about all-terrain e-scooters is that they are primarily focused on off-roading features.
The pneumatic road tires that are tubeless are excellent for comfort, especially when driving offroad. The tubeless nature of these tires is ideal to avoid pinch flats caused by rocks. But, if you’re using the scooter for use mostly on roads, then you’d be better off switching to self-sealing, knobby tires. These would automatically double the traction of your scooter, maintain your comfort and cut down on maintenance. In addition, because of the tires and the 17 centimeter clearance on the ground, obstacles on the track won’t cause damage to the deck beneath.
The suspension system feels stiff. It’s a bit stiff. Varla Eagle Pro could have benefited more from adjustable shocks, or by adjusting a spring with lower spring rates. However, the stiff setup is efficient when dealing with large bumps and keeps the scooter from falling off. When the tracks are well maintained the suspension is a little too bouncy for comfort.
It is also equipped with a steering damper. Eagle Pro also comes with an inbuilt steering damper. At high speeds and straight tracks, users can enjoy a great stability. At top speed, the stability doesn’t match that of dual stem beasts such as Wolf King GT. Wolf King GT but rather is more like the Dualtron Thunder or Nami Burn with a damper for steering installed. However, the damper for steering also means that riders have to push harder on the handlebars when making turns.
The deck is yet another area of concern. It’s too small and, due to the lack of deck space the riders are forced to rest their back feet on the footrest that isn’t ergonomically designed. One bright spot is that the Varla Eagle Pro makes up for a poor stance with a well-laid-out cockpit that is easy to use. It is designed for comfort and ease of use. The controls are also ergonomically designed and complement the large, well-lit 9 centimeter screen.
Overall, with the heavy feel of the steering and the athletic riding stance and the fast acceleration that the Eagle One Pro is exhilarating to ride. It could also be quite an exercise when you’re riding hard.
