Thanks man

Thank you for the informative video. It was extremely helpful

Very informative video….i ordered the kit this morning and did it this afternoon with no problem followed everything step by step and it worked out great

Awesome

And this is the kit I got through your link

Thank you for this video. I have to put fluid in my front brakes on a weekly basis. Can’t seem to find the leak if any. Do you have any answers?

Check your calipers and see if the seals are leaking or the T15 oil plugs where you put the oil in and see if the little gasket is cracked or warn out

I ordered this kit and fluid for my eagle one pro. It appears that I don't have the correct fitting for the caliper side... the screw on the caliper side seems way smaller than yours

I tried this but couldn’t push the new fluid through the syringe to fill the cup. There was way too much pressure to do anything. Any suggestions?

You can bleed the brakes without removing them from the scooter and save a ton of time and work. If you can see your pads don’t need chanced there is no need to remove the calipers and pads like that.

Agreed, however removing the whole caliper allows you to do a complete brake inspection top to bottom.

Hey thanks ima need to do this, just wanting to confirm…i didnt see you pulling the brake lever, is pulling the syringe enough?

Yes the syringe will help move the fluid back and forth to make sure there is no more air bubbles

Hi. What is the name of the drill bit screw size and name. I know it's not named, "Allen wrench" (as someone suggested). I need to buy some for my Dualtron and Varla E1.

It's on the back side of it. All you have to do is unscrew it and attach the right fitting from the bleeder kit and your good to go.... If that is what your referring too?

Any guidance on swapping the front hub motor with the rear power supply to determine if it's a bad controller vs. bad hub motor? I can't find anything online.

Is it a Varla Eagle One Pro because if it is, it may have nothing to do with the controller or the hub motor and could have to do with the lcd display driver

Dude I think you’re spot on. They keep sending me the wrong display based on the numbers on the back of the display.

I recently ended up working with them on this. The original factory one operated both hub motors just fine, but it wouldn't hold the ODOMETER miles and kept resetting when I turned on my scooter. So it wasn't necessarily a bad thing but was just annoying.. Any how, the reason why I brought up that it could be the lcd display programming is because when they sent me the second replacement it would only operate the back hub motor and not the front. So then I got a hold of them again and they sent me another one that now holds the odometer reading and runs both hub motors just fine so some of them are faulty programming. I would try to get a hold of them again and try to get another one if you have trouble let me know.

Do you have an update on your brakes? I had leaky calipers. Needed to replace them.

I have tried them out and so far they are holding. I heard others had leaky calipers too. If it came like that and there is a leak then contact Varla cause it will be covered under warranty. No scooter out of the box should come with leaky calipers

@@shawnyrick I just got my Varla Eagle one Pro for Christmas, 2 months ago. I have yet to ride it because is just to cold out. I noticed the brakes worked fine in my house when I first got it. Now I noticed that they're not gripping as good as when I first got it. I adjusted the screws inward on the brake levers, that did help. But one month later there not gripping again. I ordered the kit you suggested and will bleed the brakes. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for your insight and videos.

Thanks for the comments... Yes, unfortunately, mine was the same way it worked for a little bit and then I even adjusted the same screws for awhile, but ever since I bled them they appear to still be gripping fine. I can relate as well as the weather here is unsafe to ride at the moment.. Good luck with it!

Well, it's been 2 weeks since I bled my brakes. There holding up pretty good so far. Front brakes were easy. Back brakes had a problem..... When I would suck the oil back into the syringe from the caliber, I would get nothing but bubbles. So what I did I filled the syringe completely, and pushed the fluid thru the brake lever down to the caliber till I got solid fluid coming out. Then I screwed her tight and screw the top off too. She's working good now👍.

Hey bro it's me again haha I ordered the bleed kit, and I'm going to get the mineral oil. but I guess i will need to buy new pads as well?

No you shouldn't need to buy new pads, unless the pads are majority warn down. But it's always a good idea to have them extra on hand

I use mine as a reliable daily commuter all the time, and it's pretty flawless once you get some of the corks worked out. Most of my videos show how to take care of some the issues they were having with the Eagle One Pro when they first started to ship it. Once you get those solved, if any, then it holds up well, and you just need to make sure to check your brakes often, tire pressure etc, before each ride
