Best Varla Holiday Sale Electric Scooter Deals 2024

Released as an update to the original Eagle One, the V2 is a different scooter altogether. Bigger, bolder, and more refined, it’s a serious statement of intent.

As with any off-roader, the first thing you tend to look at is its suspension and tires. The V2 features huge springs at the front and rear that work in unison with deep-traveling swingarms to nullify practically every vibration that the wilds can throw at you. Whether I was traversing loose dirt tracks, undulating fields, sinewy forest trails, or rocky routes, the V2’s suspension adapted.

There’s also no bottoming out and with 5.1 inches of ground clearance, there’s plenty of room to roll over obstacles.

So impressive is the Eagle One V2’s suspension that I rated it 8 out of 10 on my shock absorption scale.

But the springs and swingarms can’t claim all the credit. The 10-inch tires do a lot of the leg work. An all-terrain tread pattern generates plenty of traction, while their tubeless design vanquishes the specter of pinch flats. Now 0.5 inches wider than the tires seen on the original Eagle One, the V2’s wheels also afford more stability when navigating uneven surfaces.

This sense of stability is further bolstered by its sprawling 28-inch-wide handlebars. You can’t help but feel secure behind these swept-back beauties – they’re perfect for off-roading.

Here, you’ll also find an upgraded 3.5-inch display, a new button pad that grants you access to a plethora of p-settings, and an NFC card reader for added security. Best of all, however, is the new thumb throttle, which I found to be far more comfortable than the finger throttle on its predecessor.

The throttle unleashes the full power of the dual 52V 1000W motors. Coupled with the new and improved 25A Sine Wave controllers, they can conjure a top speed of 40 mph. Though, as per my tests, I was only able to reach 36.1 mph. Nevertheless, its acceleration – which saw me hitting 15 mph in 2.3 seconds, 25 mph in 5.8, and 30 mph in 9.3 – was enough to give me an adrenaline rush.

As for hills, well, with 3200W of peak power, I found that it could scale challenging inclines with ease.

Helping the V2 conquer these summits is its 52V 20.8Ah battery, which is 14% bigger than the one sported by its predecessor. This translates into a maximum range of 42 miles, or 24.37 miles according to my tests.

There is no dropping of standards when it comes to braking, either. Dual hydraulic calipers, heat-dissipating 160 mm rotors, and an electronic braking system join forces to deliver a shuddering stopping distance of 2.0 meters from 15 mph.

With the Varla Eagle One V2’s rock-solid stem, IP54 water-resistant frame, and effervescent lighting rig also in play, you have a scooter that’s precision-engineered for all-terrain exploration.
