The Eagle One Pro is an upgraded version of the company’s top-selling two-wheeler model, The Eagle One. Varla Scooter Forum. The design has pretty much stayed the same but it’s the Eagle One Pro is more powerful, faster and comes with a bigger battery.
Learn regarding 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. It’s not just about the 52% larger battery, though that has 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 high-performance, flagship scooters this year. 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 taken from the beast scooters. It’s heavier than its lightweight heavyweights Apollo Phantom, Vsett 10+ as well as the Kaabo Mantis Pro, which weighs 79 lbs. Additionally, it also comes with 11 inches road tires, typical of beast scooters like Wolf King GT and the Storm and Wolf King GT.
The Varla Eagle One Pro scooter is also amazing with a way above trend top speed for a dollar. It also has an a remarkable distance per pound and excellent braking per dollar. It’s not even the greatest part. This off-road scooter is priced at about $640 less than the most comparable beasts, Segways GT1 and the Wolf Warrior 11. Varla Scooter Forum.
Thanks to the large tires-something you’ve always wanted to hear about-the scooter offers a great ground clearance of more than 36 inches. They are also excellent for traction, but could be improved. The suspension is stiff and bouncy when riding city trails, but the stiffness comes in handy when riding off-road. But you might not like the shorter deck or the uncomfortably shaped kickplate, particularly off-road.

Acceleration
It is the Varla Eagle Pro’s acceleration does not match that of light heavyweight scooters-it is so much better. Varla Scooter Forum. It is tested to have an acceleration of 2.1 seconds up to 15 millimeter mark. This is the performance you would expect from heavyweights with a long history such as the 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 will be the Vsett 10+ with a 1.9 seconds of acceleration, accelerating from 15 to mph.
It is worth noting that 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 that will anchor your thumb in order to ensure stability and provide it a reference location when engaged.
Top Speed
We love this Varla Eagle Pro’s top speed, especially for its price. The scooter boasts a whopping 40 mph top speed, which is well above what is considered to be average when contrasted with other scooters that are in the same price bracket. The more expensive Kaabo Mantis Pro only hits a 37 mph top speed, while the Inokim OXO, still at the higher cost has a lower speed of 36 millimeters.
However, it also faces competition from lower-priced models like that of the Wolf Warrior X Pro which achieves an top speed at 43 mph, while the similarly priced Vsett 10+ reaches 43,5 mph.
In its weight class it is a scooter can be found in a class of its own and only compares to the original Dualtron Thunder.
Hill Climb
The Varla Eagle Pro electric scooter is impressive for a lot of things, and hill-climbing is definitely one of the most impressive. The electric scooter can climb hills without losing too much energy, and it doesn’t seem to let up with heavy riders or in low battery situations. In our 60-meter hill climb at 10% gradient, the scooter was able to maintain an average speed of around 17 mph (and over) till around 10% charge. Varla Scooter Forum.
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 the equivalent of 36 Nm in torque. This is enough to push the scooter through hills of up to 35deg.
Range
Nothing beats the good miles on an electric scooter and this Varla Eagle Pro electric scooter offers a decent 58 kilometers of tested range. Interestingly, the only scooter less than $400 of its Eagle One Pro that can surpass it in terms of distance is Wolf Warrior X Pro, which has a range tested that was 41 miles. It beat other scooters with higher prices, e.g., the Kaabo Mantis Pro with a 33 mile range, Dualtron Eagle Pro at 32 miles along with the Vsett 10+ at 33 miles.
The battery behind the range lies a high capacity 60V 24 Ah battery that has 1440 Wh of power. It’s bigger and more energy-dense with 21700 battery cells. This is a step up from its predecessor, it was the Eagle One, whose battery was classified at 946 wh, and had only 18650 lithium cell. Both batteries are equipped with intelligent battery management systems that preserve life. Charge the battery up to capacity can take between 8 and 9 hours, however, you can get a second charger and reduce charge times to around 4 to 5 hours.
Braking
Let’s face it; we would prefer that all scooters came with hydraulic brakes. However, that doesn’t mean electric scooters with cable brakes are unsafe or unreliable when it comes to stopping. Absolutely not. In fact the cable brakes and EABS in the Varla Eagle Pro offer proven braking power that is truly exceptional and simple to set up. Varla Scooter Forum.
The e-scooter stops in just 3 meters from the speed that is 15 mph. The performance is comparable with Vsett 10+. Vsett 10-plus. 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 that are powered by cables on the Varla Eagle Pro the way you would do on an electric scooter with hydraulic brakes, however, the Pro’s mechanical disc brakes don’t leave much in the dust when they perform.
The EABS will stop that the brakes aren’t locking. They can be adjusted using the P-settings on the display. You can set them from 0 to 2, where 0 is on a weak setting, and 2 is a stronger setting.
Ride Quality
Ride quality can be described as decent, but it’s not great. The caveat they never mention 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 great for comfort, especially when riding offroad. Their tubeless design is perfect for avoiding pinch flats that are caused by rocks. However, if you’re getting the scooter to use primarily on urban tracks, you’re better off changing to self-sealing, tubeless knobby tires. These will instantly increase your traction, preserve your comfort, and reduce maintenance. Additionally, due to the tires and 17 centimeter clearance from the ground obstructions in the track will not scrape the underdeck
The suspension feels hard. It’s a bit stiff. Varla Eagle Pro could have been better off with adjustable shocks or adapting the spring to a lower spring rate. But the rigid setup works well when handling large bumps and keeps the scooter from falling off. On well-maintained tracks the suspension is somewhat bouncy for ease of use.
It is also equipped with a steering damper. Eagle Pro also comes with a built-in 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 those on the Wolf King GT but rather feels like the Dualtron Thunder or Nami Burn with a steering damper installed. On the downside, the damper on the steering also means that riders will be forced to work 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 deck space, riders are constantly forced to rest their back feet on the footrest which is not ergonomically designed. The bright side is that the Varla Eagle Pro can make up for its poor posture with a well-laid-out cockpit that is comfortable to hold. It was designed to be comfortable and user-friendliness. Its controls have been also ergonomically designed and compliment the well-readable, large 9 centimeter display.
Overall, between the heavy steering feel and the athletic riding stance, and the intense acceleration, the Eagle One Pro is exhilarating to ride. It can also be a bit of workout when you’re on the road for a long time.
