Hi, Clint! Oh, now I will watch your videos again! Scooters is my new love.

I live in a golf cart community (even though there's no golf). Something like this is a good option for someone that doesn't want to spend 8-15K for a decked out cart but wants to use the smooth wide pathways to get around the suburban sprawl.

I've seen a lot of reviews for this...yours is the best..thanks

I’ve had one for a few months. Anything over 20mph gets uncomfortable without full head/elbow/knee/glove gear. Perhaps a steering damper would make it better. I do have the rigid clamp it makes the stem feel better. It’s also too heavy to routinely put in the trunk of a car that I cared about. The scooter is a whole lot of fun, and seems more catered to a scooter enthusiast, rather than someone that wants a portable commuter scooter.

One of the important things to mention i've found that the disc brakes are rarely used when you properly setup the regen setting. it almost always uses regen and then once you're almost stopped you can engage the disc brakes. I have had five flats in two months with this scooter and 700 miles on the odo. The good news is that i can fix a flat in about ten/fifteen minutes now instead of half hour or more.

Nice video. The Vsett 10+ is very much like this scooter but has 1200W per wheel for a bit more money. But this one seems to have the features to price to quality balance for most people.

Wow! I'm impressed. Never thought of myself as the 'scooter type' - until today. ... Sign me up!

I absolutely love my Eagle One!

Great review thanks! Question does it rattle a lot off road on bumps? It sort of sounds like it but I can’t quite tell. Thanks!

There is some rattling off-road with the cables and probably a little bit with the headset.

If you want a faster acceleration from start, go to the P settings (P-12) and change it to 5.

Hard to say since I never let any of my batteries, whether it's a scooter or phone or camera, go all the way down. If I can help it. Check out their website as they give specs for runtimes and charge times.

Is there a Varla Scooter crew? lol Wife and I bought a some and we love it.

Is there a good way to secure this to a bike rack or something like that? If I had one my use case would likely be going to places around my house but since it is so large I would not be able to bring it with me inside of businesses.

How long did shipping take ? Did you buy it directly from the varla website

@ClintGibbs

2 жыл бұрын

I think shipping was about a week. It was sent to me directly from varla to review.

I just received my new Eagle One and was upset to find there is a detent in the steering that causes the front wheel to pop into a straight ahead attitude. This is very annoying when trying to navigate at slow speeds because it keeps popping into this detent. Is this a standard feature why have I not seen one person mention it in any of the dozens of videos on this scooter? Also, is there anyway to disable it?

Yes it's been mentioned before. I can understand how it would be annoying considering it's there for stability at high speeds. No, can't do anything about it..

I have a question for you or anyone else. I am disabled and have two small young dogs that love walking but I can't take them and someone else does once in a while. Walking for me is somewhat a challenge when it comes to fatigue and some minor balance issues but not a lot. It's mainly fatigue and sensation that comes along with it. I was thinking of getting one of these and taking my dogs walking using this ...what do you think I should use? This scooter or something else perhaps. Any opinion for anyone would be greatly appreciated. thanks so much

@ClintGibbs

2 жыл бұрын

A scooter is definitely an easy way to get around. But if you have balance issues, that may be of a concern. It doesn’t sound like you need to go very fast if you are just walking your dogs. This scooter is probably more than what you need. You don’t want to pay for speed when you don’t really need it. Although this is a very fun and well-built scooter, there are lesser expensive ones that don’t go as fast.

Just got one with dual 1200watt...its nuts. Dual mode is still too much for me.I prefer single for most riding. I find Im comfortable going to about 50kph max, beyond that I fear the wobble despite not yet having any. Pricey? I suppose, but these make very good alternative transportation for commuting from the burbs and they arent much more than a good bike.The negative to a bike commute is sweating and the extra hassle entailed. I get the impression most cities dont like them, probably because of other traditional transportation usersse are exactly what all the green energy people have asked, clean and efficient and do not take up a lot of room.

I perceive that those brake rotors would be the first thing to catch a curb or a rock

I just got mine. This thing is legit. It blows doors.

I think the eagle one is very stable at all speeds for me. Took it up to 32 mph briefly but stay around 18-22mph. I get great range

My son bought one .... crashed it in the 1st hour lol... now were trying to find a car shop to see if they csn fix it lol..

I cant stop thinking……road rash 😱

This thing is dangerous af

It needs a couple saddle bags to actually be practical for communiting.

P code 12 and set max acceleration

Also, you can buy it for your 8yr old. You can set it to not exceed the set speed regardless if you're on gear 3, turbo and dual. Example, set speed for your kids top speed to be 12mph and when is your turn to ride change it back to max speed.

Watch out for anything that can clip the side walls of your tires cause that will cause a flat!!!

People need to know that customer service or tech support is non existant. Once they get your $1600 you're screwed. They do not answer their phone number. It goes right to VM and they do not return calls. They also do not respond to emails either. They claim us support yet the voice mail lady has British accent. Their reviews online are screened as you will see there are only 5 star reviews. They do not publish any reviews less than 5 star. Im just trying to help future potential customers out. If you want to find out the hard way like myself then pull the trigger and purchase. Also read the warranty in detail it is worded very cleverly. Not really a 2 year warranty at all.
