What's New On Varla's LATEST Eagle One Scooter? Everything.

[@lhrelax3068]

it is mandatory to have license plate?

[@GingerOnWheels]

Hi, thanks for the question. I really should have been more clear. There's absolutely no need to have a license plate in the USA. No registration, inspection, tabs, or insurance required here where I live. It was just a 3d printed novelty plate that a friend made for me.

[@georgedunkelberg5004]

This is a definite "love" for me as a pre buyer. The PEV Firelight review and data =100%. The tire and treads' info was demonstrated.

[@GabrielPurziani]

minute 21:53 at the beginning I also found it annoying that it had a dead zone at the beginning of the throttle, but then I read that it is for safety, and several times it happened to me that I touched my throttle without wanting to and the scooter did not go off without me being on top, and I was grateful for that, today I am very used to it and for me it is a positive thing 👏😎. The tall and wide handlebars are also of my total preference, I feel that I can control it much more, I do not like the narrow handlebars that provide much less stability. About tastes, colors 🤷‍♂

[@LoganIsOnYoutube]

Coming back to tell you I put a number of miles on my Varla E1v2 at 30-40 with my body weight weight in the rear and it helped me so much! Thank you for the tip. Even choppy Michigan roads I felt incredibly stable. You’re the best man thank you!

[@GingerOnWheels]

Spread the word! Everyone loves dampers, but they really aren't needed unless you're on the track.

[@beamngclips3221]

I have the ninebot g30 and have been waiting for a good priced and good function scooter. I was orginale going to get the varla eagle one but I desided the v2 will be a better scooter for city and trail riding ,I can't wait for mine to get here

[@16alarkin]

I weigh 178 lbs and clocked 43mph on the stock spedometer

[@GabrielPurziani]

minute 15:53 I guess your scooter was one of the first versions, but the bag hook on my scooter has a neodymium magnet, which although it doesn't hold it 100% firmly prevents it from fluttering like yours does.

[@JC61990]

Thanks for the code! The 60$ off worked site wide. Just ordered the new Pegasus

[@JC61990]

I was going to get the Max g2 for the same price but your video turned me away. And now that varla put 9" vacuum tires on the Pegasus I pulled the trigger. Maybe you can do a review on the new one soon. Anyways thanks for the coupon and I love your videos. Can't wait to get my scoot on Wednesday and ditch this ninebot f25

Good video! I love my eagle one pro. Just got an Mboards endurance too.

[@mobettaspice]

Did you say the rear brake is on the right @12:59 ? I don’t understand why it was never on that side in the first place just like a Bicycle.

[@georgedunkelberg5004]

That is the universal motorcycle style. Now I am mandated to re watch @ 12:59!

[@georgedunkelberg5004]

I re listened and @ 12:59 he stated! REAR BRAKE IS ON THE RIGHT! wow! And intuitive. Sold.

[@mobettaspice]

I knew I wasn’t hearing things.

[@whileistillcan9338]

I feel the same thing about the Sinewave controllers. I bought the Vlaken G3pro which is supposed to have Sinewave but no matter where I set the acceleration settings, when I'm in dual motor it's like a light switch. If you don't have some experience it's dangerous! Either accelerating hard or coasting.

[@hyperstimmed]

Sinewave is only good when set up correctly

[@scopet420]

Have to turn down the sensitivity

[@TheMoises1213]

Now you gonna make me want to keep my eagle one. I love the long deck, rear foot placement and the key ignition. Now that you said battery % don’t match and the handle idk if I want it now🥴. My main gripe for eagle one is the tube punctures and battery

[@hank01000]

Besides the dead zone and 30% jump in battery life I live in a smaller city, am 6’1 and am getting two chargers with mine since varla sold out fast they ran out and as compensation I got the extra charger for free, seems to be the perfect fit for me since my city consists of walking/biking trails as well, great review can’t wait till mine gets here I got blue! 💙

[@MrBalas3]

How do you like it, any issues other than the dead zone on the trigger?

[@AvoidAAC]

Do you waterproof the scooters? If so will you or do you have a video on it?

[@chanmarr8118]

I recently got this to keep up with traffic in the city and it’s huge for me 😅 (I’m 5’2” at 120lbs). Thanks for mentioning it’s a stiff scooter, I thought it was just me since none of the videos I’ve seen have brought that up. I took it out for a quick test ride in the morning and the turns were weird for me. I need to get use it.

[@GabrielPurziani]

minute 2:52 I've driven my Eagle One V2 in total darkness and the factory light is plenty... you don't need to add more light, you can do other upgrades, like suspension, etc. but more light? I don't see the point of it. 🤷‍♂

[@MrBalas3]

14:35 Did you end up changing the throttle?

[@smithe68]

Great review and detailed info about this one. You mention the tall bars being too tall but what about for someone that is 6’3” and mostly going to be on pavement and dirt/gravel roads.

[@GingerOnWheels]

I think it would be right in the sweet spot for someone 6'3". You'll appreciate the bar width, too.

[@JerryWilke-d8f]

It's a coinflip when buying from China. I ended up getting sent a broken scooter, and after contacting support, they just sent me broken replacement parts. Its been a nightmare putting in the hours installing the new parts just to discover they are also broken.

[@gi169]

Awesome review, thanks 👍 Mr. Wheels.

[@raymond9642]

Couple of things: you don't need to take the locking nut all the way off when folding the handlebars. And you can adjust the suspension. To me the battery level jumping around all over the place is fairly annoying. It really makes me nervous that I don't know how much ride time I have left. It's not a small amount either. I was seeing that I was down to 30% and then all the way back to 60%

[@jhorniel9320]

Hey im trying to decide between this varla eagle one 2.0 or a vsett 10+ what should i get?

[@Kythatguy97]

Do you know where to get color handle bars for this scooter

[@GingerOnWheels]

Sorry, I don't.

[@ubute]

Gotta love a balanced r/v.

[@mrq1701]

Is there any adjustment for bar height? Maybe the bars can be flipped with the "smile" turned into a "frown"?

[@GingerOnWheels]

There is sadly zero adjustment for the bar height, But this is one of the few scooters that has a standard mountain bike size handlebar mount. You can buy a flat set of handlebars for a mountain bike and stick them on there, that'll take off about 3 or 4 inches.

[@pixelskyphotography2556]

Varla is replacing my eagle one with a v2 I hope it's as good

[@lezcano7953]

Does anyone know how low is the voltage cutoff???

[@scottp4062]

You seemed to like the Eagle V1... but this V2 doesn't live up to your expectations, is that accurate?

[@GingerOnWheels]

Yeah, I think between the suspension and the steering stiffness, they just missed the mark.

[@JulioDMNewYork]

Great vid as always. Is that a real license plate for your scooter? Is that required in your state due to the speed of your scooters going faster than 30mph?

[@GingerOnWheels]

It's not a real plate. It's just a novelty that a friend 3D printed for me a while ago. I put it to you since the scooter had a little spot to stick it

[@philipjean6309]

Do the wheels lock when the scooter is off? In other words do you need the NFC to actually move this scoooter or can someone still just roll it away of they wanted to steal it? I'm sure there are people who know how to hack the system to unlock it.

[@GingerOnWheels]

The NFC key just prevents the scooter from turning on. Someone could still throw it in the back of a truck or walk off with it. It's basically just to prevent someone from hopping on, turning it on, and zipping away

[@BrandonRoss1]

Great video! I’m strongly considering this one for deliveries/commuting in Seattle.. with tons of steep hills to climb… so far it’s my top contender. Any recommendations otherwise? Keep in mind I am short 5’6… will those handlebars be annoyingly tall?

[@TheAbandonedAccount7]

emove cruiser S is kinda similar in specs. the dual motor of the EO2 is probably better for the hills though

Morning ☕️ Great vid bro

[@beamngclips3221]

I got the red one ❤

[@LoganIsOnYoutube]

I purchased my Varla Eagle One v2 shortly after this video came out. My steering is not nearly stable enough. I have hit about 40mph on gps. I wont be doing that again unless they make a steering damper. This scooter is not stable at anything over 30. The rear foot plate you mentioned doesn't make any sense. Sacrificing functionality to make it more boxy? Just ridiculous. The name of the scooter is pretty daft too. The v1 and v2 are nothing alike. It makes finding information, parts, etc on the v2 VERY difficult. The acceleration curve is slower than my kid's Razor scooter. And lastly the throttle feels like the cheapest possible option they could find. It's hard to moderate, deadzones, and has been the only part to have broken on my scooter after driving it just shy of 1k miles. Now that I got my gripes out of the way, I LOVE THIS SCOOTER. This thing is a blast for riding around town. I take it on dirt trails, sidewalks, roads, anything. It just powers through it all. The tires and suspension are fantastic. The breaks are easy to work on. the latch is easy to operate and very secure. The display is bright and easy to read during the day. The front light is better than any other I have used. I keep my spare light on a different scooter and ride with just the integrated light at night. The handlebars are nice and wide. Power plugs are positioned in a safe place not to get water in them. Cable management is nice. RFID is INSTANTANIOUS. Easy to navigate the P settings. The kick stand is a beefy boi that feels satisfying putting down. The fenders do an amazing job at keeping me dry through puddles and mud. I feel like the scooter is soooo close to perfect. If they just had better steering dampening, kick plate, throttle, and added blinkers, this would be a 2-2.5k scooter at a $1500 price point. It would be the hottest scooter on the market. But those goofy choices has left this one of the more obscure scooters out there.

[@GingerOnWheels]

The requirement for steering damping is a rider issue, I don't have dampers even on my fastest scooters. Crouch down and lean back with most of your weight over the rear tire. Blinkers would be nice though

[@LoganIsOnYoutube]

@@GingerOnWheels oh very interesting. Man I’ve been told to keep as much weight on the front tire as I can. I’ll try it out and thank you for the tip!

[@Airbornealltheway88]

What bell helmet is that?

[@philipjean6309]

They told me the suspension is adjustable. Also the website says 38.58" from deck to handle bar. Are theey just measure to the top of the stem and NOT the handle bars themselves? Are you sure these are as tall as you say? It really sucks that there is no place physically where I can see this scooter to figure this out myself and have to rely on just reviews and take a leap of faith to order something and risk having to lose money returning it.

[@GingerOnWheels]

The suspension is adjustable in that you can use a spanner wrench to adjust the preload. But it's such a negligible amount that it doesn't drastically change the ride feel. I'm 100% sure their website is wrong on the deck bar height though. It's probably measuring to the top of the stem, which is not where you grab onto.

Vsett is definitely not aggressive with the p settings adjusted properly, I love it. Just because of scooter has a sine wave controller doesn't mean anything. In fact well over half of the scooters that claim they have sine wave controllers are actually using a modified sinewave or square waves that imitate sine wave and/or don't utilize field weakening.
