Varla Scooter Review

The Eagle One Pro is an upgraded version of the top-selling two-wheeler model, The Eagle One. Varla Scooter Review.  While the style has remained the same but The Eagle One Pro is more efficient, more powerful and comes with a bigger battery pack.

Learn about Varla’s Eagle One and toss it out the window. It’s the Varla Eagle One Pro is here and it’s nothing like its predecessor. It’s not just about the 52% larger battery, although that could have some significance–more about that in the near future.

The Eagle One Pro is Varla’s first monster scooter and it’s likely that we’ll see a lot of flagship high-performance 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 a light heavyweight scooter that borrows its specs from beast scooters. It’s heavier than the local light heavier models Apollo Phantom, Vsett 10+ and Kaabo Mantis Pro, which weighs 79lbs. It also comes with 11 inches road tires, which is 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 range per pound, and great braking for every dollar. It’s not even the greatest aspect. This off-road scooter is about $640 cheaper than the most comparable beasts, Segways GT1 and the Wolf Warrior 11. Varla Scooter Review.

Because of the big tires-something you’ve always wanted to hear-the scooter offers a great ground clearance at over 36 inches. They’re also excellent for traction, but could be better. The suspension is firm and bouncy when riding urban trails, but the stiffness is useful when driving off-road. You might not like the shorter deck or the uncomfortable kickplate, especially off-road.

Acceleration

It is the Varla Eagle Pro’s acceleration isn’t typical of lighter heavyweight scooters, it is much more powerful. Varla Scooter Review. It is tested to have an acceleration of 2.1 seconds up to 15 millimeters mark. This is the speed that’s expected of veteran heavyweight scooters like those of Wolf Warrior 11 at 1.9 seconds, Dualtron Thunder at 2.0 seconds, along with it’s Dualtron Thunder II at 2.2 seconds. This is because the Varla Eagle Pro’s sole competition in the light heavyweight class will be Vsett 10+. Vsett 10+ with a 1.9 seconds of acceleration, accelerating to 15 mph.

It is worth noting that the Eagle One Pro uses the same throttle as the NAMI and Wolf King GT, which means it also has identical dead zones. You may want to consider finding an angle to secure your thumb to keep it in place and provide it a reference location when engaged.

Top Speed

We’re awestruck with the Varla Eagle Pro’s top speed, especially for the price. The scooter boasts a whopping 40 mph top speed, which is well above normal when contrasted with other scooters that are in the same price bracket. The higher-priced Kaabo Mantis Pro only hits a 37 mph top speed, while the Inokim OXO, still at an expensive price is only able to reach 36 mmh.

However, it also has competition from cheaper models like that of the Wolf Warrior X Pro which has an 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 stands in its weight class and is in a league of its own. It also can be compared with the original Dualtron Thunder.

Hill Climb

The Varla Eagle Pro scooter is impressive for a lot of things, and hill-climbing is definitely one of the most impressive. This electric scooter can climb the hills without losing energy, and it isn’t slowing down with heavy riders or in low battery conditions. In our 60-meter hill test with a 10% slope and a 10% gradient, the scooter was able to maintain the speed that was around 17 mph (and more than) up to around 10% charge. Varla Scooter Review.

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 an impressive 36 Nm or torque which is enough to propel the scooter upwards up to 35deg.

Range

Nothing beats good mileage on the scooter and this Varla Eagle One Pro scooter offers a decent 58 km of range tested. The only scooter less than $400 of its Eagle One Pro that can outdo it in the distance is Wolf Warrior X Pro, with a test range that was 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.

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 cells in the battery. This is a step up from the predecessor, called that of the Eagle One, whose battery was valued at 946 wh and only came with 18650 lithium cells. Both batteries integrate smart battery management systems to keep the battery in good condition. The process of charging the battery to its capacity takes 8-9 hrs, however you can purchase an additional charger to reduce charge times to around 4-5 hours.

Braking

We wish all scooters had hydraulic brakes. This doesn’t mean that electric scooters equipped with cable brakes are unsafe or insecure when they need to stop. Absolutely not. In fact the cable brakes as well as EABS of the Varla Eagle Pro offer tested braking power that is truly exceptional and simple to set up. Varla Scooter Review.

The electric scooter stops in 3 meters from a speed that is 15 mph. This performance is in line with that of the Vsett 10-plus. The Varla Eagle Pro’s stopping strength is better than Kaabo Wolf King, 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 in the Varla Eagle Pro the way you would do on an electric scooter equipped with hydraulic brakes however, the Pro’s mechanical disc brakes do not leave anything to be desired when it comes to performance.

The EABS prevents that the brakes aren’t locking up. They are adjustable via the P-settings that are displayed on the display. You can adjust them between 0 and 2, where 0 is on a weak setting, and 2 is for a high setting.

Ride Quality

The ride quality is decent however, it’s not exceptional. The caveat they never discuss when advertising all-terrain electric scooters is that priority falls on off-roading features.

The pneumatic road tires that are tubeless are great for comfort, particularly when driving offroad. Their tubeless nature is great to avoid pinch flats caused by rocks. However, if you’re getting the scooter to use primarily on urban tracks, you’re better off changing to self-sealing, knobby tires. These would automatically double your traction, retain your comfort and cut down on maintenance. Additionally, due to the tires and the 17 centimeter clearance from the ground obstacles on the track won’t cause damage to the underdeck

The suspension system feels hard. This Varla Eagle Pro could have been better off with adjustable shocks, or by adjusting an existing spring with less spring force. The stiff suspension is efficient when taking on large bumps, and prevents the scooter from crashing. When the tracks are well maintained 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 a built-in steering damper. At high speeds as well as straight track, users will enjoy excellent stability. At top speed the stability isn’t as good as that offered by dual stem monsters such as those on the Wolf King GT but rather feels like a Dualtron Thunder or Nami Burn with a steering damper installed. On the downside, the damper for steering also implies that the riders have to push harder on the bar handles when negotiating turns.

The deck is another cause to be concerned about. It’s too small and due to this lack of deck real estate the riders are forced to put their back foot on the footrest, which is not ergonomically designed. The only bright side is the Varla Eagle Pro can make up for the sloppy stance by providing an excellently laid-out and comfortable cockpit that is comfortable to use. It was designed to be comfortable and user-friendliness. Its controls have been also ergonomically designed and complement the large, well-lit 9 centimeter screen.

Overall, with the heavy feeling of the steering, the sporty riding stance and the rumbling acceleration The Eagle One Pro is exhilarating to ride. It could also be workout when you’re riding hard.
