Varla Pegasus Scooter Review

The Eagle One Pro is an upgraded version of the manufacturer’s top-selling two-wheeler model, the Eagle One. Varla Pegasus Scooter Review.  Although the model has largely stayed the same but the Eagle One Pro is more efficient, more powerful and comes with a bigger battery.

You know what you learned regarding Varla’s Eagle One and toss it out the window. Varla’s new Varla Eagle One is now available, and it is nothing like the one it replaced. It’s not just about the 52% larger battery, although that could have some significance–more on that later.

The Eagle One Pro is Varla’s first monster scooter, and it seems there will be a lot of flagship high-performance scooters this year. 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 a light heavyweight scooter with specs borrowed of beast-scooters. It is heavier than the local light heavyweights Apollo Phantom, Vsett 10+ as well as the Kaabo Mantis Pro, which weighs 79 pounds. It also features 11 inches road tires that are typical of beast scooters like Storm and Wolf King GT. Storm as well as the Wolf King GT.

The Varla Eagle One Pro scooter is also remarkable with a far above trend top speed in dollars, a remarkable performance per pound and great brakes per dollar. That’s not even the best part. This off-road scooter is priced at about $640 less than the most comparable beasts, Segways GT1 and the Wolf Warrior 11. Varla Pegasus Scooter Review.

Due to the huge tires-something you’ve always wanted to hear-the scooter offers a great ground clearance at over 36 inches. They’re also good for traction, but could be improved. The suspension feels stiff and bouncy for city trails. However, the stiffness comes in handy when driving off-road. You might not like the short deck or its uncomfortable kickplate, especially when riding off-road.

Acceleration

The Varla Eagle Pro’s speed isn’t typical of lighter heavyweight scooters, it is far superior. Varla Pegasus Scooter Review. It is tested to have an acceleration of 2.1 seconds, which is close to the 15 millimeters mark. This is what is expected of veteran heavyweight scooters such as the Wolf Warrior 11 at 1.9 seconds, Dualtron Thunder at 2.0 seconds as well as 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 will be that of the Vsett 10+ with a 1.9 seconds acceleration 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 might want to find an angle to anchor your thumb to ensure stability and provide it an anchor point when engaged.

Top Speed

We’re awestruck with the Varla Eagle Pro’s top speed, especially for its price tag. The scooter manages a whopping forty mph top speed, which is much higher than the average when contrasted 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 has a lower speed of 36 millimeters.

However, it also faces competition from lower-priced models, such as those of Wolf Warrior X Pro which achieves a top speed of 43 mph, while the similarly priced Vsett 10+ reaches 43,5 mph.

In terms of weight in the weight class, the scooter can be found in a class of its own. It also is comparable to that of the first Dualtron Thunder.

Hill Climb

The Varla Eagle Pro electric scooter is remarkable for many things, and hill-climbing is definitely one of the best. This electric scooter will go up hills without losing too much power, and doesn’t seem to let up when there are heavy riders or low battery conditions. When we conducted our 60-meter hill test at a 10 percent slope it was found that the scooter was able to keep an average speed of 17 mph (and over) till around 10% charge. Varla Pegasus Scooter Review.

The company attributes the impressive hill climbing to the robust dual motors that are rated at 1000 W each, and a peak power of 2600W. Varla claims that the motors generate the equivalent of 36 Nm of torque, enough to propel the scooter through hills of up to 35deg.

Range

Nothing beats good mileage on an electric scooter and this Varla Eagle Pro scooter offers a decent distance of 58 kilometers in its tested range. The only scooter less than $400 of the Eagle One Pro that can beat it on the 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 along with the Vsett 10+ with 33 miles.

The battery behind the range lies a high capacity battery of 60V 24 Ah with 1440 Wh of energy. It’s bigger and has more energy-dense 21700 cells in the battery. It’s a leap from the predecessor, called the Eagle One, whose battery was valued at 946 wh and came with only 18650 lithium cell. Both batteries are equipped with intelligent battery management systems that ensure that the battery’s life is not compromised. Charging the battery to capacity can take between 8 and 9 hours, however you can purchase another charger, and cut down the charge times to around 4-5 hours.

Braking

Let’s face it, we wish all scooters had hydraulic brakes. However, that doesn’t mean electric scooters that have cable brakes aren’t dangerous or insecure when they need to stop. Absolutely not. In fact, the cable brakes plus EABS in Varla Eagle Pro Varla Eagle Pro have a proven braking power that is truly exceptional and easy to get right. Varla Pegasus Scooter Review.

The e-scooter can stop in only 3 meters from an approximate speed at 15 mph. This is in line with that of Vsett 10+. Vsett 10, which is 10+. The Varla Eagle’s stopping power is superior to those of 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 levers that are powered by cables in the Varla Eagle Pro as you would on an electric scooter equipped with hydraulic brakes however, the Pro’s mechanical disc brakes don’t leave much on the table when it comes to performance.

The EABS will stop the brakes from locking up. They are adjustable using the P-settings displayed on the display. You can adjust them in between zero and two with 0 being an insufficient setting, while 2 is for a high setting.

Ride Quality

The ride quality is good, but it’s not great. The caveat they never talk about when promoting all-terrain e-scooters is that they are primarily focused on the off-roading aspects.

The tubeless pneumatic road tires are ideal for comfort, especially when driving offroad. Their tubeless nature is great for evading pinch flats from rocks. However, if you’re getting the scooter for use mostly on urban tracks, you’re better off changing to self-sealing, knobby tires. These will instantly increase your traction, retain your comfort, and reduce maintenance. Also, thanks to the tires and the 17 centimeter ground clearance, obstacles in the track will not scrape the deck beneath.

The suspension feels hard. This Varla Eagle Pro would benefit more from adjustable shocks, or by adjusting an existing spring with less spring force. The stiff suspension is efficient when dealing with large bumps and prevents the scooter from bottoming out. If the track is well maintained the suspension is a little too bouncy for the comfort.

The Eagle Pro also comes with an inbuilt steering damper. In high-speed and straight tracks, users can enjoy a great stability. At top speed the stability does not equal the stability offered by dual stem monsters such as the Wolf King GT but rather is more like a Dualtron Thunder or Nami Burn equipped with a steering damper. On the downside, the steering damper also implies that the riders need to exert more force on the handlebars when trying to negotiate turns.

The deck is another cause to be concerned about. It is too short, and with this shortage of deck space it is a constant struggle for riders to place the back foot on the footrest which isn’t ergonomically designed. The bright side to this model is that Varla Eagle Pro makes up for its poor posture with a well-laid-out cockpit that is easy to use. It’s designed to provide comfort and convenience. Its controls can be also ergonomically designed to complement the large, well-lit 9 centimeter screen.

Overall, between the heavy steering feel and the athletic riding stance and the rumbling acceleration The Eagle One Pro is exhilarating to ride but can also be a bit of an exercise when you’re racing hard.
