Varla Pegasus Scooter
The Eagle One Pro is an upgraded version of the manufacturer’s top-selling two-wheeler model, called the Eagle One. Varla Pegasus Scooter. Although the style has remained the same however, The Eagle One Pro is more powerful, faster, and has a larger battery.
Take what you knew regarding Varla’s Eagle One and toss it out the window. The Varla Eagle One Pro is out and it’s nothing like the one it replaced. It’s not only about the larger 52% battery, even though it has 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 flagship high-performance scooters this season. This is a an allusion to Segway’s GT Series and the brand new Apollo Pro.
Varla’s Eagle One Pro sits on the line as an extremely light-weight scooter that borrows its specs taken from the beast scooters. It’s heavier than the local light heavier models Apollo Phantom, Vsett 10+ and Kaabo Mantis Pro, which weighs 79 pounds. It also comes with 11 inches road tires that are typical of beast scooters such as Wolf King GT and 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 per dollar, exceptional performance per pound and great braking per dollar. This isn’t even the most impressive feature. This off-road scooter costs about $640 less than its closest rivals, Segways GT1 and the Wolf Warrior 11. Varla Pegasus Scooter.
Because of the big tires-something that you’re always hoping to hear about-the scooter has great ground clearance of more than 36 inches. They are also great for traction but could be improved. The suspension is stiff and bouncy for city trails. However, the stiffness can be useful when driving off-road. However, you may not be a fan of the short deck or its uncomfortably shaped kickplate, particularly off-road.

Acceleration
The Varla Eagle Pro’s speed is not typical of lighter heavyweight scooters, it is much more powerful. Varla Pegasus Scooter. It has a tested speed of 2.1 seconds, which is close to the 15 millimeter mark. This is the speed that’s 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 will be Vsett 10+. Vsett 10+ with a 1.9 seconds of acceleration up from 15 to mph.
Eagle One Pro Eagle One Pro uses the same throttle as the NAMI and Wolf King GT, which means that it also shares similar dead zones. You might want to find an angle that will anchor your thumb to keep it in place and provide it an ideal reference location 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 compared to others in the same price range. The higher-priced Kaabo Mantis Pro only hits 37 mph top speed, while the Inokim OXO, still at a higher price 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 manages an top speed that is 43 mph, while the similarly priced Vsett 10+ reaches 43,5 mph.
In its weight class in the weight class, the scooter is in a league of its own. It also compares to the original 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. The electric scooter will go up hills without losing too much power, and it isn’t slowing down with heavy riders or in low battery conditions. When we conducted our 60-meter hill climb at 10% gradient, the scooter could maintain a speed of 17 mph (and more than) until around 10% charge. Varla Pegasus Scooter.
The manufacturer credits the impeccable hill-climbing ability to the strong dual motors rated at 1000W each, and a peak power of 2600W. Varla claims that the motors generate the equivalent of 36 Nm of torque, enough to push the scooter upwards up to 35deg.
Range
Nothing beats good mileage on a scooter which is why the Varla Eagle Pro electric scooter gives a good 58 kilometers of tested range. It is interesting to note that the only scooter within $400 of its Eagle One Pro that can surpass it in terms of distance is Wolf Warrior X Pro, with a tested range of 41 miles. It outran other scooters that cost more, e.g., the Kaabo Mantis Pro with a 33 mile range, Dualtron Eagle Pro at 32 miles, as well as the Vsett 10+ at 33 miles.
The battery behind the range is a high capacity 60V 24 Ah battery with 1440 Wh of energy. It is larger and has more energy-dense 21700 cells in the battery. It’s a leap from the predecessor, called the Eagle One, whose battery was rated 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 8-9 hrs, but you can secure an additional charger to reduce charge times to around four to five hours.
Braking
Let’s face it; we would prefer that all scooters came with hydraulic brakes. However, that doesn’t mean electric scooters that have cable brakes aren’t dangerous or insecure when they come to stopping. Absolutely not. Actually, the cable brakes plus EABS of the Varla Eagle Pro have a tested braking force that is truly remarkable and easy to get right. Varla Pegasus Scooter.
The electric scooter stops in 3 meters from the speed of 15 mph. The performance is comparable with that of Vsett 10+. Vsett 10-plus. In addition, 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 levers that are powered by cables on the Varla Eagle Pro the way you would do on an electric scooter that has hydraulic brakes but the Pro’s disc brakes leave nothing to be desired when they perform.
The EABS stops the brakes from locking. They can be adjusted using the P-settings displayed on the display. You can adjust them from 0 to 2, with 0 being a weak setting, and 2 refers to a strong setting.
Ride Quality
The ride quality is good however, it’s not exceptional. One thing they do not discuss when advertising all-terrain electric scooters is that they are primarily focused on off-roading features.
The tubeless pneumatic road tires are excellent for comfort, particularly 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 for use mostly on city tracks, then you’re better off changing to self-sealing knobby tires. These will instantly increase your traction, preserve your comfort and cut down on maintenance. Also, thanks to the tires and 17 centimeter clearance on the ground obstacles on the track won’t cause damage to the underdeck
The suspension is hard. The Varla Eagle Pro could benefit more from adjustable shocks, or by adjusting an existing spring with a lower spring rate. However, the stiff setup is effective when handling large bumps and prevents the scooter from bottoming out. When the tracks are well maintained the suspension is a little too bouncy for the comfort.
It is also equipped with a steering damper. Eagle Pro also comes with a built-in steering damper. When driving at high speeds along straight tracks users can enjoy a great stability. At top speed, the stability isn’t as good as that offered by dual stem monsters such as the Wolf King GT but rather is more like the Dualtron Thunder or Nami Burn with a steering damper installed. On the downside, the steering damper also makes it so that drivers need to exert more force on the bar handles when trying to negotiate turns.
The deck is yet another area to be concerned about. It’s too narrow and, due to the lack of deck space the riders are forced to place the back foot on the footrest which isn’t ergonomically designed. One bright spot to this model is that Varla Eagle Pro can make up for the sloppy stance by providing an ergonomically laid-out cockpit that is comfortable on your hands. It’s designed to provide comfort and convenience. The controls are also ergonomically designed to complement the well-readable, large 9 centimeter display.
Overall, between the heavy feel of the steering, the sporty riding stance and the fast acceleration, the Eagle One Pro is exhilarating to ride but could also be quite an exercise when you’re riding hard.
