Varla Eagle One Pro Electric Scooter Reviews

The Eagle One Pro is an upgraded version of the manufacturer’s best-selling two-wheeler, the Eagle One. Varla Eagle One Pro Electric Scooter Reviews.  While the style has remained the same however, The Eagle One Pro is more robust, quicker and features a larger battery pack.

Take what you knew regarding Varla’s Eagle One and toss it out the window. It’s the Varla Eagle One Pro is here, and it is nothing like the one it replaced. And it’s not just about the larger 52% battery, although that could have some connection to it. More on that later.

The Eagle One Pro is Varla’s first monster scooter and it appears there will be 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 fence as it’s a light weight scooter with specs borrowed of beast-scooters. It is heavier than resident lightweight weights Apollo Phantom, Vsett 10+ as well as the Kaabo Mantis Pro, which weighs 79lbs. And, it also has 11 inches of road tires that are typical of beast scooters like Storm and Wolf King GT. Storm or Wolf King GT.

It’s a great scooter. Varla Eagle One Pro scooter is also remarkable with a far above average top speed for a dollar. It also has an an impressive performance per pound and great braking per dollar. This isn’t even the most impressive part. The off-road scooter costs about $640 less than the most comparable beasts, Segways GT1 and the Wolf Warrior 11.

Because of the big tires-something you always want to hear-the scooter has great ground clearance, with a total of 36 inches. They are also excellent for traction, however they could be improved. The suspension is firm and bouncy on city trails. However, the stiffness is useful when traveling off-road. You might not like the short deck or its uncomfortably shaped kickplate, particularly off-road.

Acceleration

Varla Eagle Pro Varla Eagle Pro’s speed isn’t typical of light heavyweight scooters-it is much more powerful. Varla Eagle One Pro Electric Scooter Reviews. It is tested to have an speed of 2.1 seconds, which is close to the 15 mmh mark. This is the speed that’s typical of heavyweights from the past such as 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. It is the Varla Eagle Pro’s only competition in the light heavyweight class will be that of the Vsett 10+ with a 1.9 seconds acceleration to 15 mph.

The Eagle One Pro uses the same throttle as the NAMI and Wolf King GT, which means that it also shares identical dead zones. You may want to consider finding an angle to anchor your thumb 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 the price. The scooter boasts a whopping 40 mph top speed, which is well above normal when it is compared with other scooters that are in the same price bracket. 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 has competition from cheaper models like the Wolf Warrior X Pro which achieves an top speed that is 43 mph, while the comparable Vsett 10+ reaches 43,5 mph.

In its weight class, the scooter is in a class of its own and only compares with the original Dualtron Thunder.

Hill Climb

The Varla Eagle Pro electric scooter is impressive for a lot of things but hill-climbing is one of the best. The electric scooter can go up steep hills without losing any energy, and it does not seem to slow down when there are heavy riders or low battery conditions. In our 60-meter hill test with a 10% slope, the scooter was able to maintain the speed of around 17 mph (and more than) till around 10% charge. Varla Eagle One Pro Electric Scooter Reviews.

The company credits the superb hill climbing to the robust twin motors, rated at 1000 W each, and a peak power of 2600W. Varla claims that the motors produce 36 Nm of torque, enough to push the scooter upwards up to 35deg.

Range

Nothing beats good mileage on the scooter which is why the Varla Eagle Pro scooter has a reasonable 58 km of range tested. Interestingly, the only scooter less than $400 from its Eagle One Pro that can beat it on the scale is the Wolf Warrior X Pro, with a tested range to 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, along with the Vsett 10+ at 33 miles.

The battery behind the range is a large capacity battery of 60V 24 Ah that has 1440 Wh of power. It is larger and more efficient with 21700 cells in the battery. It’s a leap from the predecessor, called the Eagle One, whose battery was valued at 946 wh and came with only 18650 lithium cell. Both batteries are equipped with smart battery management systems to keep the battery in good condition. Charge the battery up to capacity takes between 8 and 9 hours but you can secure 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 that have cable brakes are dangerous or undependable when they need to stop. Absolutely not. In fact the cable brakes and EABS of Varla Eagle Pro Varla Eagle Pro feature proven braking power that is truly exceptional and simple to set up. Varla Eagle One Pro Electric Scooter Reviews.

The e-scooter stops in just 3 meters from a speed of 15 mph. The performance is comparable with the Vsett 10-plus. In addition, the Varla Eagle’s stopping strength is better than Kaabo Wolf King, the Kaabo Wolf King, Kaabo Wolf Warrior X Pro, NAMI Burn-E, as well as Nami BURN-E2.

You may not enjoy squeezing the levers with cable action in the Varla Eagle Pro like you would with an electric scooter with hydraulic brakes, however, the Pro’s mechanical disc brakes don’t leave much in the dust when it comes to performance.

The EABS will stop the brakes from locking up. They can be adjusted using the P-settings that are displayed on the display. You can set them in between zero and two, which means 0 is the weak setting and 2 refers to a strong setting.

Ride Quality

Ride quality can be described as good however it’s not the best. The only thing they don’t mention when promoting all-terrain e-scooters is that the primary focus should be on the off-roading aspects.

The tubeless pneumatic road tires are ideal for comfort, especially when riding offroad. Their tubeless nature is great for evading pinch flats from rocks. However, if you’re getting the scooter to use primarily on urban tracks, you’d be better off switching to self-sealing, knobby tires. They will automatically increase your traction, retain your comfort, and decrease maintenance. In addition, because of the tires and the 17 centimeter clearance on the ground obstacles in the track will not scrape the underdeck

The suspension feels stiff. It’s a bit stiff. Varla Eagle Pro could have been better off with adjustable shocks, or by adjusting an existing spring with a lower spring rate. The stiff suspension is effective when dealing with large bumps and keeps the scooter from bottoming out. If the track is well maintained the suspension can feel somewhat bouncy for the comfort.

It is also equipped with a steering damper. Eagle Pro also comes with an inbuilt steering damper. At high speeds as well as straight track, riders will enjoy excellent stability. At top speed the stability does not equal the stability from dual-stem beasts like the Wolf King GT but rather feels like the Dualtron Thunder or Nami Burn with a damper for steering installed. On the downside, the damper on the steering also means that riders will be forced to work harder on the handlebars when making turns.

The deck is yet another area of concern. It’s too small and, due to the lack of usable deck real estate it is a constant struggle for riders to rest their back feet on the footrest that is not ergonomically designed. The only bright side is that the Varla Eagle Pro compensates for the sloppy stance by providing an excellently laid-out and comfortable cockpit that is easy to hold. It was designed to be comfortable and ease of use. The controls have been also ergonomically designed and compliment the well-readable, large 9 centimeter screen.

Overall, with the heavy feel of the steering and the athletic riding stance and the fast acceleration The Eagle One Pro is exhilarating to ride. It could also be a bit of a workout when you’re on the road for a long time.
