Varla Scooter Pegasus
The Eagle One Pro is an upgraded version of the company’s top-selling two-wheeler model, The Eagle One. Varla Scooter Pegasus. Although the style has remained the same, the Eagle One Pro is more efficient, more powerful and comes with a bigger battery.
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’s nothing like the one it replaced. It’s not just about the 52% bigger battery, even though it has something to do with it–more about that in the near future.
The Eagle One Pro is Varla’s first monster scooter and it appears we’ll see a lot of high-performance, flagship scooters this season. This is a the context of Segway’s GT Series and the brand new Apollo Pro.
Varla’s Eagle One Pro sits on the line as an extremely light-weight scooter with borrowed specs taken from the beast scooters. It’s heavier than the local light heavyweights Apollo Phantom, Vsett 10+, along with the Kaabo Mantis Pro, which weighs 79 lbs. It also comes with 11 inches road tires, typical of beast scooters like 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 impressive with a well over the norm top speed for a dollar. It also has an a remarkable distance per pound as well as excellent braking per dollar. That’s not even the best part. This off-road scooter is priced at about $640 less than the closest competing beasts, Segways GT1 and the Wolf Warrior 11. Varla Scooter Pegasus.
Because of the big tires-something you’ve always wanted to hear about-the scooter is able to stand on the ground with a good clearance at over 36 inches. They’re also great for traction but could be better. The suspension feels stiff and bouncy on city trails, but the stiffness can be useful when driving off-road. However, you may not be a fan of the short deck or its uncomfortably shaped kickplate, particularly off-road.

Acceleration
The Varla Eagle Pro’s acceleration does not match that of lighter heavyweight scooters, it is so much better. Varla Scooter Pegasus. It’s tested with an speed of 2.1 seconds to the 15 mmh mark. This is the performance you would expect from heavyweights with a long history like that of the Wolf Warrior 11 at 1.9 seconds, Dualtron Thunder at 2.0 seconds, as well as it’s Dualtron Thunder II at 2.2 seconds. It is the Varla Eagle Pro’s only rival in the light heavyweight category will be Vsett 10+. Vsett 10+ with a 1.9 seconds acceleration from 15 to mph.
The Eagle One Pro uses the same throttle as the NAMI and Wolf King GT, which means that it also has similar dead zones. You may want to consider finding an angle that will anchor your thumb in order to ensure stability and provide it an ideal reference location when engaging.
Top Speed
We are awestruck by our love for 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 normal when compared to others within the same price range. The higher-priced Kaabo Mantis Pro only hits a 37 mph top speed, while the Inokim OXO, still at an expensive price has a lower speed of 36 millimeters.
However it also has competition from cheaper models such as the Wolf Warrior X Pro which achieves a top speed at 43 mph as opposed to the similar priced Vsett 10+ reaches 43,5 mph.
In its weight class, the scooter is in a class of its own and only is comparable to the original Dualtron Thunder.
Hill Climb
The Varla Eagle Pro electronic scooter is remarkable for many things but hill-climbing is one of the most impressive. The electric scooter can climb steep hills without losing any power, and it doesn’t seem to let up on heavy riders or low battery situations. During our 60 m hill test at a 10 percent slope, the scooter was able to keep a speed of 17 mph (and more than) up to approximately 10% of charge. Varla Scooter Pegasus.
The company attributes the impressive hill climbing to the robust dual motors rated at 1000W each, with a maximum power of 2600W. Varla claims that the motors produce the equivalent of 36 Nm in torque. This is sufficient to propel the scooter up gradients of up to 35deg.
Range
There is nothing better than good mileage on the scooter, and the Varla Eagle One Pro scooter has a reasonable 58 kilometers of tested range. The only scooter within $400 from that of the Eagle One Pro that can beat it on the range is the Wolf Warrior X Pro, with a tested range that was 41 miles. It outran other scooters that cost more, 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 with 1440 Wh of energy. It is larger and more energy-dense with 21700 battery cells. It’s a leap from its predecessor, the Eagle One, whose battery was valued at 946 wh and had only 18650 lithium cells. Both batteries are equipped with intelligent battery management systems that preserve life. The process of charging the battery to its capacity can take between 8 and 9 hours, but you can secure another charger, and cut down the charge time to about four to five hours.
Braking
Let’s face it; we would like to see all scooters have hydraulic brakes. That’s not to say that electric scooters equipped with cable brakes aren’t dangerous or insecure when it comes to stopping. Absolutely not. In fact the cable brakes and EABS in the Varla Eagle Pro have a tested braking force that is truly impressive and easy to get right. Varla Scooter Pegasus.
The e-scooter stops in just 3 meters from an approximate speed at 15 mph. This is in line with that of the Vsett 10+. In addition, the Varla Eagle’s stopping strength is better than 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 as you would 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 will stop the brakes from locking. They can be adjusted using the P-settings displayed 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, but it’s not great. The only thing they don’t mention when advertising all-terrain electric scooters is that the primary focus should be on the off-roading measures.
The pneumatic road tires that are tubeless are ideal for comfort, particularly when traveling offroad. Their tubeless design is perfect for avoiding pinch flats that are caused by rocks. But, if you’re using the scooter for use mostly on roads, then it’s better to switch to self-sealing, tubeless knobby tires. These would automatically double the traction of your scooter, maintain your comfort, and reduce maintenance. Also, thanks to the tires and the 17 centimeter ground clearance, obstacles on the track won’t scratch the underdeck
The suspension system feels hard. It’s a bit stiff. Varla Eagle Pro would benefit more from adjustable shocks or adapting an existing spring with lower spring rates. The stiff suspension 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 comfort.
It is also equipped with a steering damper. Eagle Pro also comes with an inbuilt steering damper. When driving at high speeds as well as straight track, riders can enjoy a great stability. At top speed the stability does not equal the stability offered by dual stem monsters like Wolf King GT. Wolf King GT but rather feels like the Dualtron Thunder or Nami Burn with a steering damper installed. The downside is that the damper on the steering also means that riders have to push harder on the handlebars when making turns.
The deck is another cause of concern. It’s too small and due to this lack of deck real estate the riders are forced to place the back foot on the footrest that is not ergonomically designed. The only bright side is that the Varla Eagle Pro makes up for the sloppy stance by providing a well-laid-out cockpit that is easy to hold. It’s designed to provide comfort and convenience. Its controls are also ergonomically designed and compliment the clear, large 9 centimeter display.
Overall, with the heavy feeling of the steering and the athletic riding stance, and the intense acceleration The Eagle One Pro is exhilarating to ride. It could also be an exercise when you’re on the road for a long time.
