Varla Scooters Canada
The Eagle One Pro is an upgraded version of the manufacturer’s best-selling two-wheeler, the Eagle One. Varla Scooters Canada. The style has remained the same but the Eagle One Pro is more robust, quicker, and has a larger battery.
You know what you learned regarding Varla’s Eagle One and toss it out the window. The Varla Eagle One Pro is out and it’s nothing like its predecessor. It’s not just about the larger 52% battery, even though it has some significance–more on that to come.
The Eagle One Pro is Varla’s first beast scooter and it’s likely that we’ll see plenty of high-performance, flagship scooters this season. This is in reference 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 its lightweight weights Apollo Phantom, Vsett 10+, and Kaabo Mantis Pro, which weighs 79 pounds. And, it also has 11 inches of road tires that are typical of beast scooters such as 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 average top speed in dollars, an impressive distance 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 Scooters Canada.
Thanks to the large tires-something that you’re always hoping to hear-the scooter offers a great ground clearance of more than 36 inches. They are also great for traction but could be better. The suspension is firm and bouncy on city trails, but the stiffness comes in handy when driving off-road. But you might not like the short deck or its uncomfortable kickplate, especially off-road.

Acceleration
The Varla Eagle Pro’s speed isn’t typical of lighter heavyweight scooters, it is so much better. Varla Scooters Canada. It has a tested acceleration rate of 2.1 seconds, which is close to the 15 millimeters mark. This is what is typical of heavyweights from the past such as that of the Wolf Warrior 11 at 1.9 seconds, Dualtron Thunder at 2.0 seconds along with it’s Dualtron Thunder II at 2.2 seconds. The Varla Eagle Pro’s only rival in the light heavyweight class includes Vsett 10+. 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 identical dead zones. You may want to consider finding an angle to anchor your thumb in order to ensure stability and provide it an anchor point when engaging.
Top Speed
We love our love for the Varla Eagle Pro’s top speed, especially for its price. The scooter has a staggering 40 mph top speed, which is much higher than the average when it is compared with other scooters in the same price range. The more expensive Kaabo Mantis Pro only hits 37 mph top speed, while the Inokim OXO, still at the higher cost is only able to reach 36 mmh.
However it also faces competition from lower-priced models such as that of the Wolf Warrior X Pro which achieves a top speed at 43 mph, while the similar priced Vsett 10+ reaches 43,5 mph.
In terms of weight, the scooter can be found in a class of its own. It also is comparable to the original Dualtron Thunder.
Hill Climb
Its Varla Eagle Pro electronic scooter is remarkable for many things, and hill-climbing is definitely one of them. This electric scooter will go up the hills without losing energy, and it doesn’t seem to let up with heavy riders or in poor battery levels. When we conducted our 60-meter hill test with a 10 percent gradient and a 10% gradient, the scooter was able to maintain a speed of around 17 mph (and more than) up to around 10% charge. Varla Scooters Canada.
The company attributes the impressive climb to the sturdy dual motors that are rated at 1000 W each, with a peak power of 2600 W. Varla claims that the motors deliver 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 a scooter and the Varla Eagle Pro scooter gives a good distance of 58 kilometers in its tested range. The only scooter less than $400 from the Eagle One Pro that can outdo it in the scale is the Wolf Warrior X Pro, which has a range tested that was 41 miles. It beat out other scooters with higher prices, e.g., the Kaabo Mantis Pro with a 33 mile range, Dualtron Eagle Pro at 32 miles, and Vsett 10+ at 33 miles.
Behind the range lies a high capacity, 60V 24 Ah battery with 1440 Wh of energy. It’s bigger and has more energy-dense 21700 cells in the battery. It’s a leap from its predecessor, it was the Eagle One, whose battery was classified at 946 wh, and only came with 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 takes 8-9 hrs, but you can secure a second charger and reduce charging time to 4 to 5 hours.
Braking
We would prefer that all scooters came with hydraulic brakes. That’s not to say that electric scooters equipped with cable brakes aren’t dangerous or unreliable when they need to stop. Absolutely not. In fact, the cable brakes plus EABS of Varla Eagle Pro Varla Eagle Pro feature tested braking power that is truly impressive and easy to get right. Varla Scooters Canada.
The e-scooter stops in just 3 meters from an approximate speed of 15 mph. This performance is in line with the Vsett 10+. The Varla Eagle Pro’s stopping power outdoes 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 cable-actuated levers that are on the Varla Eagle Pro like you would with an electric scooter with hydraulic brakes, but the Pro’s disc brakes do not leave anything on the table when it comes to performance.
The EABS prevents your brakes from 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 the weak setting and 2 is a stronger setting.
Ride Quality
Its ride is decent however it’s not the best. One thing they do not mention when advertising all-terrain electric scooters is that priority falls on the off-roading aspects.
The tubeless pneumatic road tires are ideal for comfort, especially when traveling offroad. The tubeless nature of these tires is ideal to avoid pinch flats caused by rocks. However, if you’re getting the scooter to ride primarily off roads, then you’re better off changing to self-sealing, tubeless knobby tires. These will instantly increase your traction, preserve your comfort, and decrease maintenance. Additionally, due to the tires and a 17 centimeter ground clearance obstructions on the track will not scrape the deck beneath.
The suspension feels stiff. The Varla Eagle Pro could have benefited more from adjustable shocks or adapting an existing spring with a lower spring rate. The stiff suspension works well when handling large bumps and keeps the scooter from crashing. On well-maintained tracks the suspension can feel a little too bouncy for comfort.
It is also equipped with a steering damper. Eagle Pro also comes with an inbuilt steering damper. In high-speed and straight tracks, riders can enjoy a great stability. At top speed the stability doesn’t match that from dual-stem beasts such as the Wolf King GT but rather appears to be the Dualtron Thunder or Nami Burn with a steering damper installed. The downside is that the damper on the steering also implies that the riders will have to push harder on the handlebars when trying to negotiate turns.
The deck is another point of concern. It’s too small and due to this lack of deck real estate it is a constant struggle for riders to place the back foot on the footrest which is not ergonomically designed. The bright side to this model is that Varla Eagle Pro compensates for a poor stance with an excellently laid-out and comfortable cockpit that is comfortable on your hands. It’s designed to provide comfort and ease of use. Controls can be also ergonomically designed to complement the large, well-lit 9 centimeter screen.
Overall, between the heavy feel of the steering and the athletic riding stance and the rumbling acceleration The Eagle One Pro is exhilarating to ride. It can also be workout when you’re riding hard.
