Reviewers like yourself talk about negatives on a scooter... Why can't scooter makers take all these comments to heart and make a near perfect scooter ? (Apollo, seem to be the listening the most)
Apollo isn't listening. Everyone keeps saying they want a faster acceleration scooter, more range etc. Then along comes nami klima and gave everyone what they wanted
Good review guys ! So a proper bicycle setup is with front brake on the left side due to the majority of us being right handed and the belief our left hand is weaker and won't send us over the bars ! This may have trickled down to your scooter but it's easy enough to remove the grips and swap the levers left to right !
Both varla models suck, all varla models suck for that matter. Their customer support service is awful, but whats worse is they're overcharging for these scooters when you can buy the same model with much higher specs for cheaper on Amazon
It's a zero 10X or D610 or whatever, depending on who bought and sells it in which country. They purchase on aliexpress through manufacturers and cheaply brand it with a silly name and drop ship it. They get a hold of a few accessories in a small rental space and send them out at a crazy markup or order direct from china to your door which leaves delivery 7 shipping schedules up in the air based on what prefecture it is coming from in China. That's why there is always a pre-order and they are out of stock for a time, they have to wait for the purchase to get enough money to place a bulk order and have it shipped to them to inspect then they ship it to you at quite a mark up. You purchase thinking you bought from a brand in the game that is actually making the product but in actuality you're buying a mass-produced clone of a clone and there is no company called Varla at all really that is actually developing and producing scooters at all. Just a California address that is probably a storage warehouse. These guys deleted my previous comment exposing the debacle I am dealing with currently with Varla and their over-promising and under-delivering business model.
@@shanew7361 Kaabo or Dualtron All day my friend, putting my money on a Wolf King GT very soon and not looking back, I own an Eagle One, it is merely the same scooter as the Zero 10x, ok for a first foray into scooting when you have a budget or just want to get into the EV scooter game, but if you want a quality build and a real performer put your money on the Wolf line by Kaabo or something comparable by Dualtron. If you say money is no object then Wolf King GT all the way and might as well throw in the extra 160 on the Fluid Free Rides site for the fast charger. Worth every penny.
@@jamalfadesemall9275 Sounds good I like your reply 💥👍 was looking at the Nami Burn-E 2 Max as well. I'm just having a difficult time buying a scooter with no local dealer support and don't want to get screwed if I need service or parts. 🤔
Coming from owning a Varla and having problems with it, 10 out of 10 times i would just get a Yume instead... They are in the same class of scooter except Yume has legit customer service... Hell even the Y10 or Y11 is cheaper then a Varla anyway and the Y11 is extremely torquey and gives you the punch your looking for
Just received eagle one pro Thursday & the Breaks don’t work. I’ve almost gotten killed riding the thing & They’re asking me to bleed my own breaks & then & only then will they send me replacement levers 🤦🏽♂️ I have a 2000 plus dollar Clunker 🤦🏽♂️ Stay away until they make them better 🤦🏽♂️
Yume fedexed me spare parts immediately after I told them my scooter arrived slightly damaged. I will never give money to a notoriously unresponsive company
Hi Jimmy Chang & Andrew 😁 I just wanted to drop you guys a message & say thanks for all you do. You have helped me in deciding what our first scooter should be. We ordered the Vsett 10+ 60V 25.6Ah from Alien Rides. (Rev Rides was out of stock😜) Also glad to see you guys sporting your new Predator Dh6-XG helmets too. I'm so glad Andrew went with the matte black instead of the glossy silver one like in that review. I also ordered my Navy Blue colored Predator Dh6-XG helmet like yours. Mine arrives on Wednesday 😁😁😁 I'm so excited! Your video helped me make my decision in ordering it. If it turns out great I'm going g to get one for my Chinese wife too 😜 Been binge watching your videos for the last two months. I also bought the same black knee pads & the 6.0 elbow pads for me and my wife. Love the Nanrobot D6+ mountain video Andrew and you did too. Almost got the Nanrobot D6+2.0 😛 I'm going to do a double unboxing on my channel of the Vsett 10+ soon. I hope you guys have continual success in your life. If you are every in Florida let's ride together 😁😁👍🏻 Take care & God bless!
Good review guys! Honest.. to the point. It’s good to see a review of someone calling out a company, when it’s needed. Thanks you guys.. people are paying a lot of money for these scooters 🛴 Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the kind words! It's disappointing to see other reviewers praise the scooter and company so they can try to get affiliate sales. ESG also charges everyone to make a review and never speaks poorly about the scooter. It was laughable to hear them say that mechanical brakes are better than hydraulic brakes when their first review came out.
how are you recording and moving so fast nvm I saw the uni. Takes 1-3 weeks for me to get parts from varla. The commute to work without the pegasus was pretty harssh without it lol
:D I was thinking they probably change the coil spring for a stronger one, but I think Andrew is right, tightening the spring would "practically" do the same for high speed stability. Here is my latest ride. :) ua-cam.com/video/wLqzBFKTi8E/v-deo.html
The fact that the brake levers are reversed is so jarring. This is the first review I've watched to mention that. I was really considering upgrading to this scooter from the base Mantis 10, but one of my biggest reasons for wanting to upgrade was safety. Something with more stable build quality and better brakes. Maybe it's worth the extra few hundred dollars for the Mantis GT
Any suggestions on tire replacements i got the eagle one V2 and i would like to try some other tires but i'm not sure what would be better. Offroad or street if anyone could help out.
I got the RED one from the first batch this summer. It's my first scooter. So i had no issues getting used to left and right breaks. For me, it's actually a good thing that rear breaks on the right side. Agree with guys that on that scooter you want a little faster take-off speed. But it's still decent. For the first month, I felt that on higher speeds it had some kind of hidden dempfer, so it kept it straight, and I could even ride it with one hand only (not recommend to do), and it was a little hard to turn on slow speeds. But later something happened, so it disappeared... now it's easier to turn, but at higher speeds, it becomes a little more unstable, so now I need to be more careful. The scooter is kind of heavy, but it is actually a good thing. Gives you a more stable feeling. Overall, it's a very solid scooter. LOVE IT
Do you know how many laws you break by riding it like you're not allowed to weave through traffic you're supposed to drive responsibly and you're not so and you just jump on sidewalk jump off the side walks when you're not allowed to do that this is what I hate when you guys come to countries you guys think you guys can do whatever you want I smell how it works
Wheel wobble is probably due to out of balance wheel. A $5 box of metric gram wheel weights, and some time finding the equalization point by via running each motor off the ground and adding a weight, moving the weight, etc.... probably would solve the problem.
It’s sad because I recently moved to illinois from ks. Their laws are pretty much non existent and the only thing I see that states anything about e-scooters are for shared ones. Not privately owned ones. They talk about scooters but those are engine ones not these ones. So now I’m kinda with-holding doing any electric riding.
Just a headsup, the timestamp at 8:10 is called "confusion" and in the video you have called it "conclusion". What do you mean by writing two different things?
Hi you guys I just recently bought a wolf king gt pro I am a newbie big time but I wanna ride bad I just have one problem I absolutely have no clue how to put the brake fluid in I have watched videos on UA-cam and just it's out of my element , I need help can somebody make other than what's on you tube now a detailed ( very detailed ) version of step by step instructions on how to do it ? I just really need some help here.
My Pegasus9 has the rear brake on the right as well. I wonder why they have swapped it to that side. Also. Since you guys are Varla guys. How do I fix stem wobble on my Varla Pegasus 9. Is it that big Allen wrench bolt that's at the bottom of the stem? The one they don't give you a tool for? Or is there something underneath that screw that I need to work with. It also feels like my steering dampener has loosened a bit too. Is this normal or could it be broken.
Varla customer service if you neee a part you'll be on a waiting list for a simple part. Don't care for Varla maybe if they could supply parts when needed.
Received my Varla eagle one pro a lil over a week ago Thursday & the Hydraulic Brakes are trash. They don’t stop me… 🤦🏽♂️Wouldn’t recommend this scooter
If they didn't stop, it sounds like they need to be bled. But yes, I don't recommend Varla because I wonder how long they will take to fix your issue. Keep us updated.
I almost bought a Varla as my first scoot, but I actually found a decently used boosted rev for 600 I’m pretty happy with it so far. I think I’m gonna get a wolf scooter in a about a year.
You could, but this is a tedious process, you would have to remove and swap the hydro lines from the levers and then splice the brake sensor lines swap and solder the wires back together, and then you would have them on the correct side. Varla ordered all mechanical brakes on these scooters to bring down the cost then ordered a bulk of Zoom Brakes and has someone in their sweatshop installing the hydraulics and it looks like mistakes are being made. I posted above about my experience with this company after a year of owning an Eagle One, I will never buy or make contact with this company ever again. Fluid Free Rides Rev Rides and Voro Motors are the only companies anyone should deal with in the Continental US. Apollo is worthy now but they started out the same as Varla, cheap Ali Express scooters with their branding on the model. Kaabo is an actual Chinese manufacturing company so the name on the scooter is the name of the facility it comes from. That's a good thing.
Glad to see this posted so quickly. Still waiting on my replacement from Varla. We will see if it has to go back again. Next time will be a refund and I'll go another direction.
@@Andrew-vt4jt Due to the holiday it only just shipped Tuesday. They claim 7-10 days total time from return shipping to replacement delivery. I'm interested in how close that is.

Check the steering. Does the red give more resistance than the blue? The red has a steering damper the blue doesn't have. That would remove wobble.
lol I was thinking of red vs blue and the Matrix came to mind and what do I see @0:18
Great review. Tbh seems like too many problems for a 2k ride

Wish it had more watts too they've increased the range and speed but not the watts don't understand that really.
They improved the battery and speed controller which honestly is the real key behind a scooters power.
Should be the same scooters. Same $$$$$
Do you know what the recommended height for this scooter is? I’m 6,3 and really want to get one.
I swapped the bars, grips, throttle, and brakes on mine, and now it’s amazing
Swapping the brake levers is a huge nono. One hand throttle, one hand brake. In an emergency, you don't have time to think.
Their customer service is some of the worst I have ever dealt with. But I love my Eagle One Pro. Not a fan of the dual motor turned on…to powerful

What does color have to do with the performance of the scooter? Isn't it just a color option?
Yeah now it's just a color option it seems. Originally it was only in blue with mechanical brakes
Basically, the original Blue with mechanical brakes is flawed. The Red is better.
The front tire on the blue one shakes and shimmys at high speeds. The red one doesn't. However, I don't really care for either one of them.
