Varla Scooters
The Eagle One Pro is an upgraded version of the company’s most popular two-wheeler, which is the Eagle One. Varla Scooters. The model has largely stayed the same but it’s the Eagle One Pro is more robust, quicker, and has a larger battery.
You know what you learned about Varla’s Eagle One and toss it out the window. Varla’s new Varla Eagle One Pro comes now available and isn’t like its predecessor. It’s not just about the larger 52% battery, although that could have something to do with it–more on that to come.
The Eagle One Pro is Varla’s first monster scooter and it appears there will be a lot of high-performance, flagship scooters in the coming season. This is in an allusion to Segway’s GT Series and the brand new Apollo Pro.
Varla’s Eagle One Pro sits on the edge of being it’s a light weight scooter with specs borrowed taken from the beast scooters. It’s heavier than resident light weights Apollo Phantom, Vsett 10+ along with the Kaabo Mantis Pro, which weighs 79lbs. It also comes with 11 inches road tires that are typical of beast scooters such as Wolf King GT and the Storm and Wolf King GT.
It’s a great scooter. Varla Eagle One Pro scooter is also amazing with a way over the norm top speed for a dollar. It also has an exceptional range per pound, as well as excellent braking per dollar. This isn’t even the most impressive aspect. This off-road scooter costs about $640 less than the closest competing beasts, Segways GT1 and the Wolf Warrior 11. Varla Scooters.
Because of the big tires-something that you’re always hoping to hear-the scooter is able to stand on the ground with a good clearance, with a total of 36 inches. They are also good for traction, but could be better. The suspension is firm and bouncy on urban trails, but the stiffness is useful when driving off-road. You might not like the shorter deck or the uncomfortable kickplate, especially when riding off-road.

Acceleration
It is the Varla Eagle Pro’s acceleration does not match that of lightweight heavyweight scooters. It is far superior. Varla Scooters. It is tested to have an acceleration of 2.1 seconds, which is close to the 15 millimeter 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 and 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 the Vsett 10+ with a 1.9 seconds of acceleration up between 15 and 15 mph.
Eagle One Pro Eagle One Pro uses the same throttle as the NAMI and Wolf King GT, which implies that it also has similar dead zones. You might want to find an angle to anchor your thumb in order to stabilize it and give it a reference point when engaging.
Top Speed
We’re awestruck with the Varla Eagle Pro’s top speed, especially for the price. The scooter manages a whopping forty mph top speed, which is a lot higher than what is considered to be average when contrasted with other scooters in the same price range. The higher-priced 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 those of Wolf Warrior X Pro which manages a top speed at 43 mph as opposed to the similarly priced Vsett 10+ reaches 43,5 mph.
In terms of weight it is a scooter stands in its weight class and is in a league of its own and can be compared to that of the first Dualtron Thunder.
Hill Climb
Its Varla Eagle Pro electronic scooter is impressive for a lot of things but hill-climbing is one of the most impressive. This electric scooter will go up the hills without losing energy, and it doesn’t seem to let up when there are heavy riders or low battery conditions. During our 60 m hill climb at 10 percent slope and a 10% gradient, the scooter was able to maintain the speed that was around 17 mph (and over) till around 10% charge. Varla Scooters.
The company attributes the impressive hill-climbing ability to the strong twin motors, rated at 1000W each, with a peak power of 2600 W. Varla claims that the motors produce 36 Nm in torque. This is which is enough to propel the scooter through hills of up to 35deg.
Range
Nothing beats good mileage on the scooter and it’s true that the Varla Eagle Pro scooter has a reasonable distance of 58 kilometers in its tested range. It is interesting to note that the only scooter that is within the $400 range of its Eagle One Pro that can surpass it in terms of distance is Wolf Warrior X Pro, which has a range tested of 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, and Vsett 10+ at 33 miles.
Behind the range is a large capacity battery of 60V 24 Ah that has 1440 Wh of power. It is larger and has more energy-dense 21700 battery cells. It’s a leap from its predecessor, that of the Eagle One, whose battery was classified at 946 wh, and came with only 18650 lithium cell. Both batteries integrate smart battery management systems to ensure that the battery’s life is not compromised. Charging the battery to capacity takes between 8 and 9 hours however you can purchase another charger, and cut down the charging time to 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 are unsafe or undependable when they need to stop. Absolutely not. In fact, the cable brakes plus EABS on Varla Eagle Pro Varla Eagle Pro offer tested braking force that is truly remarkable and easy to get right. Varla Scooters.
The e-scooter can stop in only 3 meters from an approximate speed at 15 mph. The performance is comparable with the Vsett 10-plus. In addition, 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 possible that you don’t like squeezing the levers that are powered by cables that are on the Varla Eagle Pro as you would on an electric scooter equipped with hydraulic brakes but the Pro’s mechanical disc brakes do not leave anything on the table when they perform.
The EABS stops your brakes from locking. They are adjustable using the P-settings displayed on the display. You can adjust them between 0 and 2 with 0 being the weak setting and 2 is a stronger setting.
Ride Quality
The ride quality is acceptable 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 pneumatic road tires that are tubeless are excellent for comfort, especially when driving offroad. The tubeless nature of these tires is ideal to avoid pinch flats caused by rocks. If, however, you’re buying the scooter to use primarily on roads, then you’re better off changing to self-sealing knobby tires. They will automatically increase your traction, retain your comfort, and decrease maintenance. Also, thanks to the tires and 17 centimeter clearance from the ground, obstacles on the track won’t scratch the deck beneath.
The suspension feels hard. This Varla Eagle Pro would have been better off with adjustable shocks or a spring with less spring force. However, the stiff setup is effective when taking on large bumps, and prevents the scooter from bottoming out. When the tracks are well maintained the suspension is somewhat bouncy for ease of use.
The Eagle Pro also comes with a built-in steering damper. At high speeds along straight tracks riders will enjoy excellent stability. At top speed the stability doesn’t match that from dual-stem beasts like the Wolf King GT but rather is more like a Dualtron Thunder or Nami Burn with a damper for steering installed. The downside is that the damper on the steering also makes it so that drivers will have to push harder on the handlebars when trying to negotiate turns.
The deck is another cause to be concerned about. It is too short and due to this lack of deck real estate, riders are constantly forced to place the back foot on the footrest which isn’t ergonomically designed. One bright spot is the Varla Eagle Pro compensates for the sloppy stance by providing an excellently laid-out and comfortable cockpit that is easy to hold. It is designed for comfort and ease of use. The controls have been also ergonomically designed and compliment the well-readable, large 9 centimeter screen.
Overall, between the hefty feel of the steering, the sporty riding stance, and the intense acceleration that the Eagle One Pro is exhilarating to ride but could also be a bit of workout when you’re racing hard.
