Varla Scooters Review

The Eagle One Pro is an upgraded version of the top-selling two-wheeler model, The Eagle One. Varla Scooters Review.  The style has remained the same but it’s the Eagle One Pro is more efficient, more powerful and features a larger battery pack.

You know what you learned concerning Varla’s Eagle One and toss it out the window. The Varla Eagle One Pro comes out and isn’t like the one it replaced. And it’s not just about the 52% larger battery, although that could have some connection to it. 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 top-quality high-performance scooters in the coming season. This is a reference to Segway’s GT Series and the brand new Apollo Pro.

Varla’s Eagle One Pro sits on the fence as an extremely light-weight scooter with specs borrowed from beast scooters. It is heavier than resident light heavyweights 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 like Wolf King GT and the Storm or Wolf King GT.

The Varla Eagle One Pro scooter is also amazing with a way above average top speed for a dollar. It also has an a remarkable 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 its closest rivals, Segways GT1 and the Wolf Warrior 11. Varla Scooters Review.

Due to the huge tires-something you’ve always wanted to hear-the scooter is able to stand on the ground with a good clearance of more than 36 inches. They’re also good for traction, however they could be improved. The suspension is stiff and bouncy for city trails, but the stiffness is useful when traveling off-road. However, you may not be a fan of the narrow deck or uncomfortably shaped kickplate, particularly off-road.

Acceleration

It is the Varla Eagle Pro’s acceleration is not typical of lightweight heavyweight scooters. It is much more powerful. Varla Scooters Review. It’s tested with an acceleration rate of 2.1 seconds, which is close to the 15 millimeter mark. This is the performance typical of heavyweights from the past like those of Wolf Warrior 11 at 1.9 seconds, Dualtron Thunder at 2.0 seconds, as well as the Dualtron Thunder II at 2.2 seconds. The Varla Eagle Pro’s only rival in the light heavyweight class is Vsett 10+. Vsett 10+ with a 1.9 seconds of acceleration up between 15 and 15 mph.

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

Top Speed

We’re awestruck with the Varla Eagle Pro’s top speed, especially for its price tag. The scooter manages a whopping forty mph top speed, which is much higher than the what is considered to be average when it is compared 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 an expensive price, only reaches 36 mmh.

However, it also is competing with lower models, such as those of Wolf Warrior X Pro which manages an top speed that is 43 mph as opposed to the comparable Vsett 10+ reaches 43,5 mph.

In its weight class it is a scooter can be found in a class of its own and is comparable to the original Dualtron Thunder.

Hill Climb

Its Varla Eagle Pro electric scooter is impressive for a lot of things but hill-climbing is one of the best. The electric scooter will go up steep hills without losing any power, and it does not seem to slow down on heavy riders or poor battery levels. During our 60 m hill test with a 10 percent slope, the scooter could maintain the speed that was around 17 mph (and more than) until approximately 10% of charge. Varla Scooters Review.

The company attributes the impressive hill climbing to the robust dual motors that are rated at 1000W each, and a peak power of 2600 W. Varla claims that the motors generate 36 Nm of torque, sufficient to propel the scooter through hills of up to 35deg.

Range

There is nothing better than good mileage on a scooter which is why it’s true that the Varla Eagle One Pro scooter gives a good 58 km of range tested. Interestingly, the only scooter less than $400 of the Eagle One Pro that can beat it on the scale is the Wolf Warrior X Pro, which has a range tested to 41 miles. It outran other scooters with higher prices, e.g., the Kaabo Mantis Pro with a 33 mile of range. Dualtron Eagle Pro at 32 miles, as well as the Vsett 10+ with 33 miles.

Behind the range is a high capacity battery of 60V 24 Ah with 1440 Wh of energy. It is larger and more efficient with 21700 cell batteries. It’s a leap from the predecessor, called the Eagle One, whose battery was rated at 946 wh and came with only 18650 lithium cells. Both batteries have 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 get a second charger and reduce charge time to about 4-5 hours.

Braking

Let’s face it, we would prefer that all scooters came with hydraulic brakes. This doesn’t mean that electric scooters equipped with cable brakes aren’t dangerous or insecure when it comes to stopping. Absolutely not. Actually the cable brakes and EABS of the Varla Eagle Pro feature tested braking force that is truly remarkable and very easy to use. Varla Scooters Review.

The e-scooter stops in just 3 meters from an approximate speed at 15 mph. The performance is comparable with that of the Vsett 10+. 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 cable-actuated levers on the Varla Eagle Pro as you would on an electric scooter equipped with hydraulic brakes however, the Pro’s mechanical disc brakes leave nothing to be desired when they perform.

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

Ride Quality

The ride quality is good however, it’s not exceptional. The only thing they don’t discuss when talking about all-terrain e-scooters is that priority falls on off-roading features.

The pneumatic road tires that are tubeless are excellent for comfort, particularly when traveling offroad. Their tubeless design is perfect for evading pinch flats from rocks. But, if you’re using the scooter to ride primarily off roads, then you’re better off changing to self-sealing knobby tires. These would automatically double the traction of your scooter, maintain your comfort and cut down on maintenance. In addition, because of the tires and 17 centimeter clearance from the ground, obstacles on the track won’t cause damage to the deck beneath.

The suspension feels stiff. The Varla Eagle Pro could benefit more from adjustable shocks, or by adjusting the spring to less spring force. But the rigid setup is efficient when handling large bumps and keeps the scooter from falling off. If the track is well maintained the suspension is a little too bouncy for comfort.

The Eagle Pro also comes with a built-in steering damper. When driving at high speeds and straight tracks, users can enjoy a great stability. At top speed the stability isn’t as good as the stability offered by dual stem monsters such as Wolf King GT. Wolf King GT but rather is more like the Dualtron Thunder or Nami Burn with a damper for steering installed. The downside is that the steering damper also means that riders will be forced to work harder on the handlebars when making turns.

The deck is another point of concern. It’s too narrow and due to this lack of deck space the riders are forced to place the back foot on the footrest which isn’t designed ergonomically. The bright side to this model is that Varla Eagle Pro makes up for a poor stance with a well-laid-out cockpit that is comfortable to use. It’s designed to provide comfort and user-friendliness. Its controls have been also ergonomically designed and compliment the large, well-lit 9 centimeter screen.

Overall, between the heavy steering feel, the sporty riding stance and the fast acceleration The Eagle One Pro is exhilarating to ride. It could also be a workout when you’re riding hard.
