Varlar
The Eagle One Pro is an upgraded version of the company’s best-selling two-wheeler, the Eagle One. Varlar. The design has pretty much stayed the same, the Eagle One Pro is more efficient, more powerful and comes with a bigger battery pack.
You know what you learned concerning Varla’s Eagle One and toss it out the window. Varla’s new Varla Eagle One Pro comes now available, and it is nothing like the one it replaced. It’s not just about the 52% bigger battery, although that could have some connection to it. More on that later.
The Eagle One Pro is Varla’s first beast scooter, and it seems we’ll see a lot of top-quality 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 edge of being a light heavyweight scooter that borrows its specs taken from the beast scooters. It is heavier than resident light weights Apollo Phantom, Vsett 10+ and Kaabo Mantis Pro, which weighs 79 pounds. Additionally, it also comes with 11 inches road tires that are typical of beast scooters like the Storm as well as the Wolf King GT.
The Varla Eagle One Pro scooter is also remarkable with a far above average top speed for a dollar. It also has an a remarkable performance per pound and excellent braking per dollar. That’s not even the best aspect. The off-road scooter is priced at about $640 less than its closest rivals, Segways GT1 and the Wolf Warrior 11. Varlar.
Due to the huge tires-something that you’re always hoping to hear about-the scooter has great ground clearance of more than 36 inches. They are also excellent for traction, but could be improved. The suspension feels stiff and bouncy when riding city trails, but the stiffness is useful when riding off-road. However, you may not be a fan of the narrow deck or uncomfortably shaped kickplate, particularly off-road.

Acceleration
The Varla Eagle Pro’s speed isn’t typical of light heavyweight scooters-it is so much better. Varlar. It is tested to have an acceleration of 2.1 seconds to the 15 millimeters mark. This is what is expected of veteran heavyweight scooters such as that of the 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 only rival in the light heavyweight class includes 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 implies that it also has identical dead zones. You might want to find an angle to anchor your thumb in order to keep it in place and provide it an anchor location when engaged.
Top Speed
We love the Varla Eagle Pro’s top speed, especially for its price. The scooter manages a whopping 40 mph top speed, which is a lot higher than normal when contrasted with other scooters that are in the same price bracket. The higher-priced Kaabo Mantis Pro only hits 37 mph top speed, while the Inokim OXO, still at an expensive price has a lower speed of 36 millimeters.
However, it also is competing with lower models, such as that of the Wolf Warrior X Pro which manages an top speed of 43 mph, while the comparable Vsett 10+ reaches 43,5 mph.
In terms of weight it is a scooter stands in its weight class and is in a class of its own. It also is comparable to its predecessor, the Dualtron Thunder.
Hill Climb
Its Varla Eagle Pro electronic scooter is impressive for a lot of things including hill-climbing, which is certainly one of the most impressive. This electric scooter can climb the hills without losing power, and it doesn’t seem to let up with heavy riders or in low battery conditions. When we conducted our 60-meter hill test with a 10% gradient, the scooter was able to maintain an average speed that was around 17 mph (and over) till approximately 10% of charge. Varlar.
The company attributes the impressive climb to the sturdy dual motors that are rated at 1000W each, with a peak power of 2600W. Varla claims that the motors generate 36 Nm of torque, enough to push the scooter up gradients of up to 35deg.
Range
Nothing beats good mileage on a scooter, and the Varla Eagle Pro scooter gives a good 58 km of range tested. Interestingly, the only scooter that is within the $400 range from its Eagle One Pro that can surpass it in terms of range is the Wolf Warrior X Pro, with a tested range to 41 miles. It outran other scooters that cost more, e.g., the Kaabo Mantis Pro with a 33 miles of 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’s bigger and has more energy-dense 21700 cell batteries. This is a step up from its predecessor, it was the Eagle One, whose battery was classified at 946 wh, and had only 18650 lithium cell. Both batteries have smart battery management systems to ensure that the battery’s life is not compromised. The process of charging the battery to its capacity takes between 8 and 9 hours however you can purchase another charger, and cut down the charging time to 4 to 5 hours.
Braking
Let’s face it, we would prefer that all scooters came with hydraulic brakes. This doesn’t mean that electric scooters with cable brakes are dangerous or insecure when they need to stop. Absolutely not. Actually the cable brakes and EABS in the Varla Eagle Pro offer proven braking power that is truly exceptional and very easy to use. Varlar.
The e-scooter stops in just 3 meters from a speed of 15 mph. This performance is in line with the Vsett 10+. The Varla Eagle’s stopping strength is better than those of 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 that are on the Varla Eagle Pro as you would on an electric scooter with hydraulic brakes, but the Pro’s disc brakes don’t leave much on the table when it comes to performance.
The EABS will stop that the brakes aren’t locking. They are adjustable using the P-settings displayed on the display. They can be adjusted between 0 and 2 where 0 is on an insufficient setting, while 2 is for a high setting.
Ride Quality
Its ride is decent however it’s not the best. The only thing they don’t talk about when talking about all-terrain e-scooters is that priority falls on the off-roading aspects.
The tubeless pneumatic road tires are great for comfort, especially when riding offroad. Their tubeless nature is great to avoid pinch flats caused by rocks. However, if you’re getting the scooter to use primarily on roads, then it’s better to switch to self-sealing knobby tires. They will automatically increase the traction of your scooter, maintain your comfort, and decrease maintenance. In addition, because of the tires and 17 centimeter clearance from the ground, obstacles on the track won’t scratch the underdeck
The suspension is hard. This Varla Eagle Pro would benefit more from adjustable shocks or adapting a spring with a lower spring rate. However, the stiff setup is efficient when handling large bumps and keeps the scooter from falling off. On well-maintained tracks the suspension is a little too bouncy for the comfort.
The Eagle Pro also comes with an inbuilt steering damper. When driving at high speeds as well as straight track, riders will enjoy excellent stability. At top speed, the stability isn’t as good as that of dual stem beasts such as those on the Wolf King GT but rather feels like a Dualtron Thunder or Nami Burn with a damper for steering installed. The downside is that the damper on the steering also implies that the riders will have to push harder on the handlebars when making turns.
The deck is yet another area of concern. It is too short and due to this lack of deck space the riders are forced to rest their back feet on the footrest that isn’t ergonomically designed. The bright side to this model is that Varla Eagle Pro makes up for the sloppy stance by providing an ergonomically laid-out cockpit that is comfortable to use. It is designed for comfort and ease of use. Controls have been also ergonomically designed to complement the clear, large 9 centimeter screen.
Overall, between the heavy steering feel as well as the sporty riding posture and the fast acceleration that the Eagle One Pro is exhilarating to ride, but it can also be workout when you’re racing hard.
