Varla Pegasus Scooter
The Eagle One Pro is an upgraded version of the company’s most popular two-wheeler, which is the Eagle One. Varla Pegasus Scooter. Although the design has pretty much stayed the same however, The Eagle One Pro is more powerful, faster and features a larger battery.
You know what you learned concerning Varla’s Eagle One and toss it out the window. Varla’s new Varla Eagle One is now available and it’s nothing like its predecessor. And it’s not just about the 52% bigger battery, even though it has some significance–more on that to come.
The Eagle One Pro is Varla’s first beast scooter, and it seems we’ll see plenty of high-performance, flagship 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 edge of being it’s a light weight scooter that borrows its specs taken from the beast scooters. It’s heavier than the local lightweight heavier models Apollo Phantom, Vsett 10+, along with the Kaabo Mantis Pro, which weighs 79lbs. It also comes with 11 inches road tires, which is typical of beast scooters such as the Storm or Wolf King GT.
The Varla Eagle One Pro scooter is also impressive with a well over the norm top speed for a dollar. It also has an an impressive range per pound, and great brakes per dollar. This isn’t even the most impressive feature. This off-road scooter costs about $640 less than its closest rivals, Segways GT1 and the Wolf Warrior 11. Varla Pegasus 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 at over 36 inches. They’re also good for traction, however they could be improved. The suspension is stiff and bouncy on city trails, but the stiffness is useful when riding off-road. However, you may not be a fan of the narrow deck or uncomfortably shaped kickplate, particularly off-road.

Acceleration
The Varla Eagle Pro’s acceleration does not match that of lighter heavyweight scooters, it is far superior. Varla Pegasus Scooter. It’s tested with an acceleration of 2.1 seconds up to 15 millimeter mark. This is the performance expected of veteran heavyweight scooters like the Wolf Warrior 11 at 1.9 seconds, Dualtron Thunder at 2.0 seconds along with Dualtron Thunder II at 2.2 seconds. Dualtron Thunder II at 2.2 seconds. It is the Varla Eagle Pro’s sole competition in the light-heavyweight category includes the Vsett 10+ with a 1.9 seconds of acceleration up to 15 mph.
Eagle One Pro Eagle One Pro uses the same throttle as the NAMI and Wolf King GT, which means it also has similar dead zones. It is possible to locate an angle that will anchor your thumb in order to keep it in place and provide it an ideal reference point when engaged.
Top Speed
We are awestruck by the Varla Eagle Pro’s top speed, especially for the price. The scooter boasts a whopping forty mph top speed, which is a lot higher than what is considered to be average when contrasted with other scooters in the same price range. The more expensive Kaabo Mantis Pro only hits a 37 mph top speed, while the Inokim OXO, still at a higher price is only able to reach 36 mmh.
However it also has competition from cheaper models such as that of the Wolf Warrior X Pro which manages an top speed that is 43 mph and the comparable Vsett 10+ reaches 43,5 mph.
In its weight class, the scooter is in a class of its own and can be compared with that of the first Dualtron Thunder.
Hill Climb
The Varla Eagle Pro electronic scooter is remarkable for many things, and hill-climbing is definitely one of them. This electric scooter can go up steep hills without losing any energy, and it does not seem to slow down when there are heavy riders or low battery situations. When we conducted our 60-meter hill test at a 10% slope it was found that the scooter was able to keep an average speed of around 17 mph (and over) till about 10% charge. Varla Pegasus Scooter.
The manufacturer credits the impeccable hill-climbing ability to the strong dual motors that are rated at 1000 W each, with a maximum power of 2600 W. Varla claims that the motors deliver 36 Nm in torque. This is sufficient to push the scooter upwards up to 35deg.
Range
Nothing beats good mileage on a scooter, and this Varla Eagle One Pro scooter has a reasonable 58 kilometers of tested range. Interestingly, the only scooter that is within the $400 range of that of the Eagle One Pro that can beat it on the range is the Wolf Warrior X Pro, with a tested range of 41 miles. It outran 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 lies a high capacity, 60V 24 Ah battery with 1440 Wh of energy. It’s larger and more efficient with 21700 cell batteries. It’s a leap from its predecessor, it was the Eagle One, whose battery was rated at 946 wh and had only 18650 lithium cells. Both batteries integrate intelligent battery management systems that keep the battery in good condition. Charge the battery up to capacity takes between 8 and 9 hours however, you can get an additional charger to reduce charging time to 4 to 5 hours.
Braking
Let’s face it, we would like to see all scooters have hydraulic brakes. This doesn’t mean that electric scooters equipped with cable brakes are dangerous or undependable when it comes to stopping. Absolutely not. Actually the cable brakes and EABS in the Varla Eagle Pro have a proven braking power that is truly impressive and easy to get right. Varla Pegasus Scooter.
The e-scooter can stop in only 3 meters from a speed of 15 mph. This is in line with the Vsett 10, which is 10+. In addition, the Varla Eagle Pro’s stopping strength is better than those of 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 on the Varla Eagle Pro as you would on an electric scooter equipped with hydraulic brakes but the Pro’s disc brakes don’t leave much on the table when it comes to performance.
The EABS stops that the brakes aren’t locking. They can be adjusted using the P-settings on the display. You can adjust them from 0 to 2 where 0 is on a weak setting, and 2 is for a high setting.
Ride Quality
Its ride is good however it’s not the best. The caveat they never mention when advertising all-terrain electric scooters is that the primary focus should be on the off-roading aspects.
The pneumatic road tires with no tube are excellent for comfort, particularly when riding offroad. Their tubeless nature is great to avoid pinch flats caused by rocks. However, if you’re getting the scooter to ride primarily off city tracks, then you’re better off changing to self-sealing, tubeless knobby tires. They will automatically increase your traction, retain your comfort and cut down on maintenance. Also, thanks to the tires and 17 centimeter clearance from the ground, obstacles on the track won’t scratch the underdeck
The suspension is hard. The Varla Eagle Pro would benefit more from adjustable shocks or adapting the spring to less spring force. But the rigid setup works well when dealing with large bumps and prevents the scooter from bottoming out. On well-maintained tracks the suspension can feel slightly bouncy and not enough for the comfort.
It is also equipped with a steering damper. Eagle Pro also comes with an inbuilt steering damper. In high-speed as well as straight track, riders will enjoy excellent stability. At top speed, the stability doesn’t match the stability of dual stem beasts like the Wolf King GT but rather feels like the 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 trying to negotiate turns.
The deck is another cause to be concerned about. It’s too small and, due to the lack of usable deck real estate it is a constant struggle for riders to put their back foot on the footrest that isn’t designed ergonomically. The only bright side is the Varla Eagle Pro can make up for a poor stance with a well-laid-out cockpit that is comfortable to hold. It’s designed to provide comfort and ease of use. Controls can be also ergonomically designed and complement the large, well-lit 9 centimeter screen.
Overall, between the heavy steering feel as well as the sporty riding posture, and the intense acceleration that the Eagle One Pro is exhilarating to ride, but it could also be quite workout when you’re riding hard.
