The Comfort Mobile Left Me Stranded! Varla Eagle One 2.0 Electric Scooter Range Test

[@Frostorm777]

3:25 it’s not that they don’t care, they have a mutual respect for us riders and allow us to ride because we’re not breaking any laws.

[@JC61990]

The 3.0 is coming soon, hopefully you get one to review.

[@LoganIsOnYoutube]

Sweet video man. I always appreciate your opinion. I’m still on the fence since I do a lot of trail riding with mine. I miss carving when I ride my V2. I enjoy it on my other scooter. The integrated damper and the flat tire shape just doesn’t make for good carving. I noticed they have new throttles on their website now too. No deadzone “issues” after I installed mine but the shorter throw means you need much more fine control or it will be jerky. Especially at low speeds.

[@landryjessy785]

Thank you help me a lot getting the new trottle now

[@LoganIsOnYoutube]

@@landryjessy785 I don’t know about you but I had to turn my P06 setting back down to make the throttle response smoother. But maybe that’s just me.

[@PokemonPackDaddy]

Was a great ride! Where can I pick up that bag and Allen wrench set? Also, which helmet is that?

[@jlewis631]

Thanks for the video. I rode my Eagle One 2.0 yesterday around town. Had a blast that extra wide deck is super nice bro.

[@GingerOnWheels]

💯

[@khanrides]

That wide deck option is genius. Giving the customer the ability to chose comfort vs performance is something more scooter companies should do.

[@GingerOnWheels]

Agreed

[@16alarkin]

How does this affect performance? Can't carve as well?

[@theskeptik1]

Any idea when the 3.0 is releasing? I see it says coming soon.

[@16alarkin]

Where do you see that announcement?

[@manuelmedina8432]

I've seen that too on the Varla website through there inventory.

[@jlewis631]

Website says August 10th

[@cindytobben2269]

Are you going to get an eagle one V3.0 and do a video please

[@Guardhousetv]

Just bought one of these. Thank you for the range test. Im 220 and was wondering if i could get it to 25 miles

[@GingerOnWheels]

Beware! Don't get stranded like me.

[@Vmaxfodder]

My foot scooter is 86v 80ah . 152-180 mile real world range tested! 40kw

[@wacko-309]

video or name of scooter?

[@Vmaxfodder]

@wacko-309 I do have to apologize. I'm not a great content maker. 😕 I am almost finished with it . I blew up a motor last year ( getting anotherone tomorrow). Just completely fried it . But it was doing 0-60 runs in 5 seconds! It is a home made prototype. I will try again this week to make a video. The coolest part is it's cheap / easy . Made to last lifetimes, and you can get most parts from the hardware store/ bike shop / eBay. I designed it to be the most versatile scooter/ anything ever! One size fits anyone, any need ! It is industrial strength muscle footscooter. Thanks for the interest.

[@mediaxr7255]

Ahhh.. the range test walk of shame. Thanks for the video.

[@jakeanddar]

Did you get the updated thumb throttle? I'm hearing no dead zone with new one! I messaged Varla ,they told me tire pressuure should be 35 to 40 psi ,strange you where told 50 psi. cheers!

[@16alarkin]

How long did it take for them to respond?

[@Bigbeatsinc]

I wish you could review the Yume Hawk. For the money it is an incredible scooter. I’d like to know your comparative thoughts with all of the scooters you have tested.

[@GingerOnWheels]

Yeah that looks like a good deal for that scooter.

[@juancarlo121798]

One thing, you make range tests (which is amazing and I see it every time) and usually you get stranded pushing the limits of the battery, I can teach you how to make a “power bank” for whatever scooter you are testing from 36 to 84v so you quick charge to get home

[@GingerOnWheels]

Wouldn't I have to have multiple banks at my house depending on the scooter voltage? And wouldn't I have to carry them with me on the ride? That extra weight would effect the range, no?

[@juancarlo121798]

@@GingerOnWheels No apart from the battery itself you connect a “transformer” that boosts whatever voltaje you need to charge the scooter, of course you add weight with a small back pack, like 10lb but you don’t have to walk home ;)

[@notquiteright45014]

That deck is beautiful!

[@Jesusloveyoumyguy]

The new v3 is the same exact scooter as the v2 except it has a bigger battery I was thinking about buying the new v3 battery and putting it on the v2 the new v3 battery is 52v26ah

[@GingerOnWheels]

That's awesome! After my range test I talked with them for a long time about what they could improve on the scooter and I basically just said put high quality cells in there or more of them. Battery was the only thing holding the scooter back from its full potentia,l as long as you don't need to ride off-road.

[@Jesusloveyoumyguy]

@@GingerOnWheels because man my v2 is horrible in range varla did the v3 right although I wished the v3 was atleast a 45-50mph scooter I feel like varla is a little behind on there scooters I also have the eagle one pro and let me tell you it has a 60v27ah battery and man the range is crap on it also voltage sags like crazy I get less than 20 miles, like you said they need better cells but atleast the v3 has lg cells but it's really pointless because it's still a 38-40 mph scooter we usually upgrade our scooter for speed and range what the v3 is missing is the speed because I rode it and it feels the same as the v2 just has a little more torque I wish the v3 was a 45-50 mph scooter

[@GingerOnWheels]

@@Jesusloveyoumyguy we need some Samsung 50S cells like we're seeing in the electric unicycles. Those things are absolutely beast.

[@Jesusloveyoumyguy]

@@GingerOnWheels exactly im sick of theee Chinese cells idc I'll pay the price for better cells my friend buys 21700 cells and Tesla cells and he literally makes his own battery pack dudes a genius I ended up using Tesla cells on my teverun fighter supreme and it holds up so well range is amazing he built me that battery pack 11 months ago scooter feels amazing I'm thankful to have a friend who specialize in things like that I will never have to pay 900 for a new battery from these company my buddy just wants a case of beer and I pay for the supplies and he gets done with it in 1.5 hours 2 hours lol

[@Jim.e.Whitten]

My V2 has been great! The range all depends on how you ride. I have gotten as little as 24 miles, but I have also gotten almost 60 miles on a single charge. That is in Dual Motor with no electric brake…the V2 doesn’t have regen brakes. I have my scooter for almost 6 months and Love it! I don’t have the wide deck, but I also don’t have size 13 feet but agree the deck could be a little bigger. I think your range test was flawed a little at least the last part…You shouldn’t recharge a battery when it’s hot. It’s bad for the battery and you won’t get a proper battery level read.

[@Jim.e.Whitten]

I forgot to mention that it also takes 5 hours using Two Charges…so I don’t think one for an hour will do much.

[@16alarkin]

How do you add more nfc tags to this scooter if possible? Also can you use your phone to unlock the scooter?

[@seanherman5070]

Does the latch work with the wider deck on? I haven't put mine on yet because I'm not sure if it will or not.

[@Tiffani-M]

what type of full face helmet do you recommend for people who wear glasses? thanks for the great content.

[@GingerOnWheels]

Something modular. They are easy to get on and off. You can fold the job piece up over the top of the helmet. Put the helmet on and then fold the job pace back down. They do weigh quite a bit more though but they also offer a lot more protection if you fall. That being said I am able to get my Bell Super Air R helmet on and off without taking my glasses off but it's a tight squeeze and the helmet doesn't offer that much protection on fast street rides. In the description of this video there is a link to my linktree, on the linktree there's a button for my Amazon store and I have all the gear I wear listed there.

[@sounlikely4623]

Hey how long did they take to ship? I just ordered mine a few days ago and I'm still waiting for confirmation. I also bought the wide deck option as you did.

[@GingerOnWheels]

It took a couple weeks to get to me. Right now on the website it says 3 weeks if you order with the wide deck option.

[@sounlikely4623]

@@GingerOnWheels ah I see I just ordered mine last Friday, and I can't wait

[@16alarkin]

I ordered mine on Tuesday and got it on Friday, I'm not too far from where it shipped tho, as I live in Arizona. Also I ordered the red color

[@ktbweg23]

need the link for the bag you have attached its not on your website please

[@GingerOnWheels]

Honestly I don't even know where I got it. I think it's for an ebike handlebar actually. It was just in a pile of bags I had at my house. 😬

[@DT-Nicky]

"It has a really huge deck"......lol lol lol That aside it is a really nice scooter, although truth be told I am not a fan of cruise control. Putting my trust in a tech that has a mind of it's own sounds kind of unsettling. But I guess it does depend on the scooter itself and the way it was programmed. Nice video 💪💪💪💪💪

[@guyfarmer6682]

I have the same scooter but can’t find the p setting map online I can get into it I just know 6 is power and I’m the fob one what p setting is Cruze??

[@GingerOnWheels]

I think cruise was P5. You can just email Varla and get a copy of the manual. Or use the manual that the scooter came with. Instructions are in there.

[@techguyintahoe]

Hey Ginger could you link the finger print lock please?

I have a 12 mile commute and I can charge at work. Am I good to go?

[@GingerOnWheels]

Yeah just don't floor it all the way there and back, you'll be good.

[@jamesbarry2388]

Are you ever going to get your hands on a Road Runner RX7?

[@GingerOnWheels]

It doesn't look like it. I introduced myself to the company and got one reply, I messaged back with my plan to review their scooters and they never replied again. 🫠

[@aki_Olive]

What do you think of the solar eq vs this one?

[@GingerOnWheels]

Solar eq has an even smaller battery and the headlight placement is lower. I wouldn't trust that adjustable handlebar mech at 40mph. Varla also has got better fenders. I think they are around the same price, too so I'd choose the Varla personally.

[@p_aid]

How did you get a new screen for the v2?

[@GingerOnWheels]

Mine came just like it's shown in the video. Maybe they are shipping with new displays now 🤷

[@p_aid]

@@GingerOnWheels oh i looked at one of your older videos about this scooter and ur display had the eagle one PRO logos on it and i was looking to get myself a regular display instead of the pro i thought you got a regular one

[@runnerofthespeedforce3273]

Which would u rather ride the kukirin g2 master, g3 pro, or the varla?

[@SurRonDude]

The Varla because of the performance and better components on the scooter

[@oklahomascootin]

Oh ya thats nice man awsome video

[@chrisdudley8366]

Varla needs to have removed battery set up. And offer bigger battery like 28 AH. And that problem with range would be solved.

[@GingerOnWheels]

The frame seems big enough to fit a much larger battery in there. I would be willing to keep it at the lower 52v setup if it meant we could have a 35 or 40 amp hour battery. 20.8ah seems a little insufficient for a scooter with this much power.

[@chrisdudley8366]

Ginger. I totally agree. 35 amp hour or 40 amp hour battery will be game-changing for varla as a company. We can only dream. 😁

[@Vmaxfodder]

Some days you're the dog , somedays you're the hydrant. At least you can bring it on most busses.

[@GingerOnWheels]

🤣

[@GingerOnWheels]

I definitely felt like a hydrant walking that thing home.

[@Vmaxfodder]

@GingerOnWheels so I built a 40kw scooter .it is industrial strength, and more like a muscle cruser . The thing I absolutely Hate is I can't ride it when I want to ride it . I ride it when it is good and darn well ready! I am going to repair my 52cc foot scooter ,and use both ! At least I could ride it when I wanted . And it got 132mpg . Not as fast ,but oh well . Was quiet as a honda generator with a new exhaust I invented .
