It's a beast that Varla Eagle.. RK9 really loves it as his go to. Re the range.. you can always add a booster pack to the Eagle.. but obviously has its drawbacks.. "extra separate battery" .. "extra bulk off centre to balance" but it is definitely do able..
Had mine for 3 days now. And love it. Already purchased all the upgrades you got for yours. Coming from a kaabo mantis 8. Definitely love this scooter more. I’m 150 pounds and 35 is average. I hit 40 downhills but 35 is average. I feel like that’s a perfect speed. I got 20 miles of hard riding before the battery went out. Had to walk 2 miles back to the house. Lol. But still a great scooter in 2023.
I just recently got a vsett 10+ and have found riding bad ass wheelies comes easily with the power it has. Just like a motorcycle, give the front end a little bounce with your bars, and when the shock is at the top of its stroke, hit the throttle! Depending on where you are standing and the power level, the front wheel will come up and you will have to feather the throttle to keep it from wheelieing over or coming down. Make sure you are pointed straight at first, but eventually you can do cool turning wheelies and whatever you think of. Careful, wheelies become addicting
Rode my Varla last night, it’s such a blast. I’ve got upgraded Kona bars and a sweet Fenix BC25R USB Rechargeable Bike Light mounted on the bars. I did not know the recharging port was under the throttle, thanks !
You are lucky to have the Apollo pro, the Dualtron Thunder 2 is really good. If you have some free time look up Blade Z , what it lacks in amphour it makes up with speed and swagg lights.
Great review! Just received my Eagle and the first thing I did replace stock handlebars to the wider bars. I'm working on switching out the stock shocks to real shocks. Replaced the rear to DNM AOY-36R. Found that around 200psi in the upper chamber gets the sag into the recommended 15-25% range. 250psi is the max rating. Cannot find a 135mm shock for the front so I plan to use a exa 291rx 150mm and use the stock front spring to drop down the length. Purchased spanner wench set to remove the spring from the stock shock and can confirm that the stock shocks are nothing but springs.
Hi GOW, I endend up using for the front the 125mm exa 291r and replaced the spring with the stock spring. For the rear a Rockshock monarch 165mm. There is a very slight rake in the front when static but flatens out when loaded. Over all working great. No more of the springy bouncy feeling. Took it offroad with no bottoming out, nice and smooth. I can list the amazon parts list if anyone is interested.@@GingerOnWheels
What size frame sliders would fit the default bolts? I'm missing a bolt too and need to find conversions for the interior thread. If you know that'd be super helpful!
I have a hiley tiger t8 pro which goes 35mph & I hit 38mph going downhill, nfc with pneumatic tires & I got mine for $900, it's an EXCELLENT scooter for the price!!
I got the bar and stem upgrade through your links. Is it normal for the stem to be a fair bit taller than the mount where it sits? Mine seems to be a solid 1/3” taller than the old one. The center red piece bolt barely reaches the threads.
Yep!! EXA form 291R are an excellent option (290 if you dont care about adjusting dampening). Also appreciate pointing out the spring ratings to use. having to trial and error the ratings needed can be troublesome. if i remember correctly, the eagle one/10x platform has a nonconventional 135 mm front suspension? im only aware of a DNM air suspension that has that dimension if you want to experiment with that.
Yeah I tried a couple front suspensions, none of them worked with my weight (bottom out when standing) and it got cost prohibitive since I can't return them easily to Alibaba.
@@GingerOnWheels i hear ya. i wonder the decision making when whoever made the first iteration of this platform. if you ever want to try the 291R's on the rear of the emove cruiser, I have determined (after some trial and error) the spring rating to use is two 750 lbs/inch. (or i could have paused their latest ad video of it at just the right moment during the accessories segment to see that they use 750 but still arent selling them as of yet.)
@@GingerOnWheels likely not i must admit XD. i am a person that tinkers perhaps a little too much and lets just say that that is not the only thing i did to my cruiser.
Would love to see you do a review and suspension upgrade for a Mukuta 10 plus. I absolutely love this scooter but the suspension is very clanky when going off road.
Have you done any battery pack upgrades? Would definitely be interested in watching/learning about different battery types and their application. I do mostly city riding but recently have been exploring mountain fire roads…awesome because there are no cars but can be quite steep… downside being they can drain a battery quite quickly. Would high amperage cells such as the molicel P26A with 35Amps not get wiped out so fast? Other cells?

Hello Ginger, I just want to tell you that you were a great inspiration for me to buy an E-scooter and so I did and let me tell you it is my 1st E-scooter ever and that thing is amazing. I have a few things to ask you about them so if you can help me it would be awesome and even if you did not I will always be grateful for all the work you do 1 - the local store that I bought the scooter from said that I need to empty the battery each time before I recharge it to time how true is that? 2 - my scooter has 2 ports for charging but it came with a single head charger ( 1 port ) can I buy a second charger ( same one ) and plug them both at the same time? 3 - is it hard ( for beginners) to change the speedometer?

( Sorry for my bad english
I bought an Eagle One last year and this January I also got the Eagle One Pro which has a built in steering damper and then thia past week I ordered another Eagle One and it seems that they have added some new features to it. Right away I noticed that it has a steering damper and also the suspension feel better, much smoother. I reached out to Varla and they confirmed the new features and mentioned that it may travel faster also. I was quite surprised since I paid less this time($1350) than last year ($1550).
Are you having an issue where the steering wants to stick to center? I just got mine and the steering is really stiff and sticks to the center. Not smooth at all.
@@outlawedmedia4336 it's not an issue, it is the same as in the Eagle One Pro, it's meant to be like a steering damper, you get used to it after a while. It helps keep it center at higher speeds. At lower speeds ot's more difficult to turn but I like it.
@@EX121 Oh really? Well then I don't like that design. Much of my ride time is going lower speeds and I find it clunky and dangerous trying to fight the center notch. No review mentioned it but I'm gonna make a review video talking about it and warning folks about it. I would hto have liked to know about it before buying. Varla customer support has been impossible to reach. Another reason to avoid this scooter imo
Hey ginge I have already got the same bar.s and I have just ordered the same stem as yours its coming Wednesday I can't wait. I was worried the cables wouldn't reach but now I know it does thanx ginge your a star. Oh tell ye girl I said hi I seen her in one of your videos the varla one. You should have her in your video more often mate
Just got mine about an hour ago. Did the GOW mods already. One question, the new riser only goes about halfway down, the bolt on the red cap can still thread in though, is this going to be an issue? Also did you have any problems with the grips, or the end caps on the grips, they seem a little to big for the new bar? Thanks for the great channel, and thanks for helping Yogi Steve with his channel too 👍🏻
A better upgrade for the rear of the eagle one is the buy a tire hugger off of AliExpress. I have it on my vsett 10+ and zero problems, you can also adjust it so that it can be as close or as far for the tires as possible.
@@GingerOnWheels Look for these search terms on AliExpress, US $46.75 45%OFF | Universal Upgraded Adjustable Fender for VSETT 10+ 11+ ZERO 10X 11X KAABO Mantis 10 Inch Electric Scooter Mudguard Wheel Cover
Have you thought about getting a steering stabilizer? I put one on my Varla and it is hands down the best upgrade I've done so far. So much better, no speed wobbles ever, and I can take a hand off the bars when needed.
Nice ride and review...after market tires look simular to the ones that came on my brand new Freego - ev es10 2,000 watt (2 motor). I try and watch eagle one videos as I think both scooters are very simular even tho I got mine on a sale for $720 lol,they run about 800-900 shipped. Because it's so new only one person's done a video on it and they refuse to ride it hard lol... I just got into electric scooters but iv been reading and watching and learning for many years, none of my gfs thought it was a good idea 😑 My freego's acceleration and top speed are simular to the eagle one as well, I'm a week in and I'm still a bit nervous because with the twist throttle (never used one) it took me days to feel comfortable riding it,at times it feels like a bull that wants to buck you off but that's prolly me not giving it enough respect lol. I think for 1,000 and under its right up there with the best,granted I haven't riden any others yet but just from the reviews iv seen, not Bad at all... This would he a good one to check out ;) Even tho conditions aren't ideal here in NH right now,think it was 30 degrees out lastnight when I went for a ride... I got 40 miles of range with it,and that was a mix of cruising in first gear (22mph) and 2nd gear, wich gets me to 30mph although it feels faster then it says,I hope as it warms up it gets even better. Just wanted to say thanks again as I watched a ton of your videos before even making a scooter purchase :)
Gotta agree with ya! I don’t think i could’ve found a better buy! This thing is awesome and the customer service is great as well! They have gotten right back to me on every inquiry, literally within 24 hrs every-time!
Great video. I love the stem/bars upgrade and it's great to know it accepts a 1-1/8" stem. 70mm is definitely the stem length, by the way. They are usually defined by the length and the angle. "Rise" would be affected by the head tube angle. Is the front suspension adjustable? If it is, that might just seal the deal for me...
I learned that the front shock is a replaceable coil-over unit similar to the rear, but I think it may be a different length. I would love to know the correct spec or where to look up the spec, if anyone knows.
great video, I have ordered some of the stuff you mentioned. Had a question - Where do you get your inner tubes for the Eagle One. Am I correct that if it fits a Zero 10X it will fit Varla Eagle One? The Varla inner tubes seem pricy and a little cheap to me. And anyone watching this, have any of you used SLIME in the tubes? Great vids. Thank you!
Nicely done Ginger...love my Eagle One...I just filmed an after 1000km review...short version...it's great :) I'm shorter than you (6') but don't find the stock to be too short...not like the Dualtron X which was frightening under braking...but will consider the upgrade on the stem riser :) Cheers from Victoria :)
I'm heading there now to check your Wolf King GT Pro Review =) Nice review Ginger... but... didn't this scooter shut off after a puddle or? did you resurrect it? I'm curious you never really said =) just that you upgraded it
@@Damadoore honestly no idea what happened to it, to this day. I opened it up and there was zero evidence of water damage. My guess is a faulty single / dual switch

@@BOOSTEDLASER I have the Yume X11 and the Eagle One Pro(got them each under $2000 shipped), love them both, the X11 has more power and more range and the new units have an updated LCD screen. I would personally recommend the X11 to you for your budget.
Question. Can the controller handle more amp hours? Is there a cheap controller upgrade that can? Then id buy like 4 of those batteries and swap em charge them all in a backpack at starbucks half way there. After my solar panels I'll be able to keep riding on the farm w/o gas
Glad to hear you're enjoying those treads man, I found a newer version of them recently that dont have the little nipples all over the outer edge of the tread if you want it? (I found those nipples really screwed with my ability to go full tilt around a corner) Also, put two washers under and one above on each of fender guard screws, the screws will rip through the mud guard eventually otherwise(mine was about 2000km) and it raises the guard up a bit more out of the way, they do wobble a lot. Last thing, promise, replace the 8mm bolt that attaches the front suspension to the steering pole, its not rated for anything decent and they're like $2 for a 12.9 rated one. (When they snap, it feels like the front end is really loose and you get deflection left and right while riding and trying to go straight or cornering, truly terrifying at 60km/h)
I lied, I got another one, I'm hooking a couple of Inokim OX 60v's up to mine soon (I have the 52v version too) the internals of the esc's are rated for 80v so I'm going for it. Practising wheelies, start on something with a fixed rear, the eagle will try to push you back down with that rear spring after launch and make it hard to get past that initial lift.
Hi. Can you please provide me with the links for both the tires you have and the bolt you are talking about replacing? Thanks! Your comment is REALLY helpful and I want to underscore the safety you are talking about. Thanks for sharing!
The link for the rear shock goes to a website I am unable to buy from. Also they do not offer a 135mm in that shock. Any other suggestions where to get 135mm shocks?
You can also use the better fender/mudguard from the zero 11X, but you need to drill one hole in each aluminium bracket to be able to mount it on the 10x /Eagle One
Top video, they just keep getting better, lots of great tips and upgrades, I have a Vsett 10+ and looking at upgrading to 160mm gold disc rotors not because I need more stopping power but just because I can, next I will need some of those sliders, when will it end 😂
I don't see anybody here asking this question but I ended up buying the handlebar riser that you bought and it sticks up an inch past the main tube so there's only one screw really holding it and I can't put the red cap on the top the safety cap what do I do about that really it doesn't really fit
Question is it a way to lockdown the scooter like fold it and carry it 1 handed Seem like u can't fold it and lock it in place if not can we buy something that can do that
So my Eagle One gets delivered tomorrow. Ordered the upgrades except for the tires. I found the Exa Form 291R shock, but I'm not seeing a 165mm with a 2,000 lbs. spring rate. Was that stated correctly in the video? Ali Express and Ebbo Shop only have the 2,000 lbs. spring rate in the 125mm and 150mm.
@@Rogue-Drone I haven't been able to track down the shock yet. My Eagle One is mostly great. There is an issue with the display. I'm getting error code E10 which I've tracked down to the cable between the upper connector and the display. Varla keeps having me test things instead of sending a new display. I need to pull the wires out of the bottom section tonight and test with a volt meter. Didn't know I was going to become a scooter repair shop when I purchased the EO. The E10 comm error doesn't show the speed on the display when the error occurs.
I tested the Varla eagle 1s speedometer vs the GPS and the Varla actually underestimated the speed by about 1mph! Crazy but true! I hit 40 mph easy on a slight downhill. Varla says 40 mph gps 41.2 or something like that.
Awesome video !!! Love my Varla Eagle one. I have a lot of accessories on mine but my last accessory is the Kwheels steering dampener on the way and highly recommend it !!!
For the under $2000 price Range it was between an upgraded Varla one or the Blade GT Alibaba route. I went with the blade GT and am waiting just like a few others online. Hope it was the right choice!!!
I've been debating between this and the mantis se. I've driven the se at voro motors and absolutely loved it... but it was a little touchy compared to my emove (brakes was very strong snd acceleration was instant) GINGER! How would you compare the acceleration between the varla and the mantis pro? Also top speed differences please
Mantis has better hill climbing power and faster acceleration though, being 60v over 52v has its advantages. This is the one I was comparing to. bit.ly/VoroMantis
@@GingerOnWheels thats the one I test drove and really enjoyed it! I appreciate your kind response. I live in a hilly area in California I think i the mantis will do the trick
I'm 105 kilo and about 6 foot 1. I've been looking at the Wolf Warrior GT Pro because I want a scooter that is not just a toy, but one that means business. One that is very strong but comfortable to ride, very reliable and easy to find parts for, and one that has good speed. One that is good for off road would be a bonus to. I seat attachment would be great but optional. What would you recommend?
hi..love your reviews...quick question: pegasus or eagle one to buy for commuting 25 km per day in Ireland where the roads are crap and wet :) it's not to much difference in price but I'm affraid of having flat tyre on eagle one as it's pain to change it :S but do love suspension and larger deck on it.... I'm almost at my 40yo and never ride e-scooter :D :D :D
I was looking at getting a e bike. But the scooters look more fun. I'm 54 young and 190lbs. I have a zx10r but that's something I take out to bike or car shows. I'm not sure what scooter is going to be better. I do like dirt roads as well and some trails
@@Floridawoodsbanshee Yeah, that's in a whole other class. Quite a bit heavier and more difficult to transport, and double the cost too - but I can see the appeal...
Varla eagle one is definitely same as zero 10x and dragon 10x scooter in sitting them on side by side on each 3 models and compression and compared on each different battery sizes
I upgraded my suspension in the back on the KAABO wolf warrior 11+ i got and what a major difference Fluidfreeride put the best medium to hard cartridges in there for me plus i only weigh 145lb they should last a few years
I found it! From the same site where the hybrid tires come from on the link provided in the video description: revrides.com/collections/all-parts/products/zero-rugged-folding-clamp
It looks way better with the hybrid tires the vsett 10+ looks good with them two i had them on ly yume D5+ but when i measured mine they measured 3 1/2 inches

@@7KingCobra7 if either of you are near Seattle, I know someone with a Phaeton/ 11x for sale with $1k in upgrades, for sale for $2950. Comes with 2x spare tires and tubes and 2x rapid chargers.
@@ShiftoHvH the fenders are a little clunky offroad but they work very well for deterring water. You'll also likely have to add your own auxiliary headlights to see at night. Other than that it's a 10/10.
Nice video. BTW, what scooter would you recommend for someone trying to go with a range of 60 miles, and speed 40mph minimum? And a good lighting system? I been trying to find the right one but it is hard with so many at different prices and different specs. I want one below $2800.
Closest to these features under 2. 5k would be a vsett 9+ (the 21ah model) for dual motors or an apollo explore or even the emove cruiser with a single one.

Thank you again for all the inspiration and the hard work keep it up!. ( Sorry for my bad english
I bought an Eagle One last year and this January I also got the Eagle One Pro which has a built in steering damper and then thia past week I ordered another Eagle One and it seems that they have added some new features to it. Right away I noticed that it has a steering damper and also the suspension feel better, much smoother. I reached out to Varla and they confirmed the new features and mentioned that it may travel faster also. I was quite surprised since I paid less this time($1350) than last year ($1550).
Are you having an issue where the steering wants to stick to center? I just got mine and the steering is really stiff and sticks to the center. Not smooth at all.
@@outlawedmedia4336 it's not an issue, it is the same as in the Eagle One Pro, it's meant to be like a steering damper, you get used to it after a while. It helps keep it center at higher speeds. At lower speeds ot's more difficult to turn but I like it.
@@EX121 Oh really? Well then I don't like that design. Much of my ride time is going lower speeds and I find it clunky and dangerous trying to fight the center notch. No review mentioned it but I'm gonna make a review video talking about it and warning folks about it. I would hto have liked to know about it before buying. Varla customer support has been impossible to reach. Another reason to avoid this scooter imo
Is the front suspension upgradeable?
Hey ginge I have already got the same bar.s and I have just ordered the same stem as yours its coming Wednesday I can't wait. I was worried the cables wouldn't reach but now I know it does thanx ginge your a star. Oh tell ye girl I said hi I seen her in one of your videos the varla one. You should have her in your video more often mate
Just got mine about an hour ago. Did the GOW mods already. One question, the new riser only goes about halfway down, the bolt on the red cap can still thread in though, is this going to be an issue? Also did you have any problems with the grips, or the end caps on the grips, they seem a little to big for the new bar? Thanks for the great channel, and thanks for helping Yogi Steve with his channel too 👍🏻
I have the same question about the riser. Can I ride my scooter like this? 🤷🏻♂️ I don't wanna break anything haha
Really cool little scooter, love the upgrades.thanks for sharing Ryan.
Thanks for watching!
A better upgrade for the rear of the eagle one is the buy a tire hugger off of AliExpress. I have it on my vsett 10+ and zero problems, you can also adjust it so that it can be as close or as far for the tires as possible.
Hey cool tip. Can you link us?
One other thing RK9 rides did off-road with the eagle one it can handle a lot of abuse.
@@GingerOnWheels Look for these search terms on AliExpress, US $46.75 45%OFF | Universal Upgraded Adjustable Fender for VSETT 10+ 11+ ZERO 10X 11X KAABO Mantis 10 Inch Electric Scooter Mudguard Wheel Cover
@@DT-Nicky I offroad it quite a bit in this video too....
@@GingerOnWheels I will link you on Instagram
Have you thought about getting a steering stabilizer? I put one on my Varla and it is hands down the best upgrade I've done so far. So much better, no speed wobbles ever, and I can take a hand off the bars when needed.
Nice ride and review...after market tires look simular to the ones that came on my brand new Freego - ev es10 2,000 watt (2 motor). I try and watch eagle one videos as I think both scooters are very simular even tho I got mine on a sale for $720 lol,they run about 800-900 shipped.
Because it's so new only one person's done a video on it and they refuse to ride it hard lol...
I just got into electric scooters but iv been reading and watching and learning for many years, none of my gfs thought it was a good idea 😑
My freego's acceleration and top speed are simular to the eagle one as well, I'm a week in and I'm still a bit nervous because with the twist throttle (never used one) it took me days to feel comfortable riding it,at times it feels like a bull that wants to buck you off but that's prolly me not giving it enough respect lol. I think for 1,000 and under its right up there with the best,granted I haven't riden any others yet but just from the reviews iv seen, not Bad at all...
This would he a good one to check out ;)
Even tho conditions aren't ideal here in NH right now,think it was 30 degrees out lastnight when I went for a ride...
I got 40 miles of range with it,and that was a mix of cruising in first gear (22mph) and 2nd gear, wich gets me to 30mph although it feels faster then it says,I hope as it warms up it gets even better. Just wanted to say thanks again as I watched a ton of your videos before even making a scooter purchase :)
Gotta agree with ya! I don’t think i could’ve found a better buy! This thing is awesome and the customer service is great as well! They have gotten right back to me on every inquiry, literally within 24 hrs every-time!
Thanks. All upgrades are in the cart lol. More money I don’t need to spend lol
Great video. I love the stem/bars upgrade and it's great to know it accepts a 1-1/8" stem. 70mm is definitely the stem length, by the way. They are usually defined by the length and the angle. "Rise" would be affected by the head tube angle.
Is the front suspension adjustable? If it is, that might just seal the deal for me...
I learned that the front shock is a replaceable coil-over unit similar to the rear, but I think it may be a different length. I would love to know the correct spec or where to look up the spec, if anyone knows.
Well personally I've had mine for a year and the suspensions been great but I never tried adjusting anything
si it has some rake thus aeridynamicy if i move the deck back then the forwarded handlebars would not have to be like that what do you think ?
great video, I have ordered some of the stuff you mentioned. Had a question - Where do you get your inner tubes for the Eagle One. Am I correct that if it fits a Zero 10X it will fit Varla Eagle One? The Varla inner tubes seem pricy and a little cheap to me. And anyone watching this, have any of you used SLIME in the tubes? Great vids. Thank you!
Hey just wondering will the frame sliders fit for the vsett 10+
Yes.
@@GingerOnWheels 🙏 Thx
Nicely done Ginger...love my Eagle One...I just filmed an after 1000km review...short version...it's great :)
I'm shorter than you (6') but don't find the stock to be too short...not like the Dualtron X which was frightening under braking...but will consider the upgrade on the stem riser :)
Cheers from Victoria :)
I'm heading there now to check your Wolf King GT Pro Review =) Nice review Ginger... but... didn't this scooter shut off after a puddle or? did you resurrect it? I'm curious you never really said =) just that you upgraded it
@@Damadoore honestly no idea what happened to it, to this day. I opened it up and there was zero evidence of water damage. My guess is a faulty single / dual switch
@@GingerOnWheels GINGER : GUN TO HEAD..YOU CAN HAVE ONE..ESCOOTER OR AN EBIKE...BUDGET $2000 AND WHAT EXACT UNIT?
275 LBS IF THAT MATTER. I WONT EVER OFFROAD.NO JUMPS OR SILLY STUFF.

@@BOOSTEDLASER I have the Yume X11 and the Eagle One Pro(got them each under $2000 shipped), love them both, the X11 has more power and more range and the new units have an updated LCD screen. I would personally recommend the X11 to you for your budget.
What weight rating did you get on the rear shock? Any idea if this will fit the eagle one pro?
I believe I got 1500 lbs. I weigh 220lbs though.
Question. Can the controller handle more amp hours? Is there a cheap controller upgrade that can? Then id buy like 4 of those batteries and swap em charge them all in a backpack at starbucks half way there. After my solar panels I'll be able to keep riding on the farm w/o gas
You should make a video on the best scooters to buy with tubeless tires.
The Joyor S10 I just bought 60v 20ah dual motor I am 6’ 3” 250lbs and hit 39mph. It also has adjustable handlebars. 999 on Amazon!!
Just ordered my varla eagle one. Now about to check out a few of your links and purchase some upgrades
Sweet! Hopefully you used the code GINGERONWHEELS50 for $50 off the scooter! Thanks for stopping by the channel.
Glad to hear you're enjoying those treads man, I found a newer version of them recently that dont have the little nipples all over the outer edge of the tread if you want it?
(I found those nipples really screwed with my ability to go full tilt around a corner)
Also, put two washers under and one above on each of fender guard screws, the screws will rip through the mud guard eventually otherwise(mine was about 2000km) and it raises the guard up a bit more out of the way, they do wobble a lot.
Last thing, promise, replace the 8mm bolt that attaches the front suspension to the steering pole, its not rated for anything decent and they're like $2 for a 12.9 rated one. (When they snap, it feels like the front end is really loose and you get deflection left and right while riding and trying to go straight or cornering, truly terrifying at 60km/h)
I lied, I got another one, I'm hooking a couple of Inokim OX 60v's up to mine soon (I have the 52v version too) the internals of the esc's are rated for 80v so I'm going for it.
Practising wheelies, start on something with a fixed rear, the eagle will try to push you back down with that rear spring after launch and make it hard to get past that initial lift.
Hi. Can you please provide me with the links for both the tires you have and the bolt you are talking about replacing? Thanks! Your comment is REALLY helpful and I want to underscore the safety you are talking about. Thanks for sharing!
@@johnnysmith7051 I bought the bolt locally, so no link sorry, tyres are available in tge x10 tyre change video on my channel ✌️
@@JamiePineappleWyatt thank you! What about an installation video for the rear shock replacement?
The link for the rear shock goes to a website I am unable to buy from. Also they do not offer a 135mm in that shock. Any other suggestions where to get 135mm shocks?
Most any shock you can buy can be found on AliExpress or Alibaba.
I made a super simple aluminium support for the fender, now mine is super sturdy.
You can also use the better fender/mudguard from the zero 11X, but you need to drill one hole in each aluminium bracket to be able to mount it on the 10x /Eagle One
WOW.... Amazing Video.... So informative .... Thanks for the Info.... Props
how wide are those tires on amazon, my scooter has 10 inch 2.5 inch wide
Ginger when it rain does the fender work ? Because you said your back was all wet or did u find a third party accessorie to help with that ?
The frame sliders fit over the lug on the wheel or replaces it?
They fit over it so there is both the slider and the lug nut.
Can you shorten the stem by 150mm then add the stem riser to get a total reduction of 75mm.
That way less leverage pull on the stem pole??
Top video, they just keep getting better, lots of great tips and upgrades, I have a Vsett 10+ and looking at upgrading to 160mm gold disc rotors not because I need more stopping power but just because I can, next I will need some of those sliders, when will it end 😂
Confused about the shocks. Its a chiense website, but where do i buy it??
Is there any way you could add links to these upgrades? I really love the upgrades you've done. Thank you
Maybe your volume isn't working right. In the video I said multiple times that the links to the upgrades are in the description of the video. 😉
I don't see anybody here asking this question but I ended up buying the handlebar riser that you bought and it sticks up an inch past the main tube so there's only one screw really holding it and I can't put the red cap on the top the safety cap what do I do about that really it doesn't really fit
So I did put it on there and it seems like it's good enough but still wondering your opinion about the safety of it
Same, someone please answer this question 😂😫
Hey Ginger! Great video. Where did you get the hybrid tires?
Question is it a way to lockdown the scooter like fold it and carry it 1 handed
Seem like u can't fold it and lock it in place if not can we buy something that can do that
So my Eagle One gets delivered tomorrow. Ordered the upgrades except for the tires. I found the Exa Form 291R shock, but I'm not seeing a 165mm with a 2,000 lbs. spring rate. Was that stated correctly in the video? Ali Express and Ebbo Shop only have the 2,000 lbs. spring rate in the 125mm and 150mm.
Did you figure anything out about your shopping yet? How’s the scooter? I just unboxed mine and out the bars on it.
@@Rogue-Drone I haven't been able to track down the shock yet. My Eagle One is mostly great. There is an issue with the display. I'm getting error code E10 which I've tracked down to the cable between the upper connector and the display. Varla keeps having me test things instead of sending a new display. I need to pull the wires out of the bottom section tonight and test with a volt meter. Didn't know I was going to become a scooter repair shop when I purchased the EO. The E10 comm error doesn't show the speed on the display when the error occurs.
I tested the Varla eagle 1s speedometer vs the GPS and the Varla actually underestimated the speed by about 1mph! Crazy but true! I hit 40 mph easy on a slight downhill. Varla says 40 mph gps 41.2 or something like that.
Do you need to compress cups in the caliper so your new brakes will slide over the rotor 🤔
Awesome video !!! Love my Varla Eagle one. I have a lot of accessories on mine but my last accessory is the Kwheels steering dampener on the way and highly recommend it !!!
Where'd you order the damper from?
@@BKJP1998 amazon
Type in zero 10x scooter steering damper
@@RickyD1968 did you receive your damper and installed it? How’s it working so far?
Said it before I'll say it again, love my zero10x! Put around 700 miles on mine, riding it to work every day even in the pouring rain lol!
For the under $2000 price Range it was between an upgraded Varla one or the Blade GT Alibaba route. I went with the blade GT and am waiting just like a few others online. Hope it was the right choice!!!
How did it turn out?
Hey gingeronwheels will you ever complete the kaabo mantis pro se maximum and minimum range test? Most importantly the minimum!
Good day my friend. I’m curious where did you get the wheel nut protector’s from been looking for something like that for my Apollo ghost 👻. Thanks
Ive done over 2000 miles on my zero 10x, still going strong.
I've been debating between this and the mantis se. I've driven the se at voro motors and absolutely loved it... but it was a little touchy compared to my emove (brakes was very strong snd acceleration was instant)
GINGER! How would you compare the acceleration between the varla and the mantis pro? Also top speed differences please
Ok you answered my question on the top speed haha. Surprised the mantis doesn't do better than 35
Mantis has better hill climbing power and faster acceleration though, being 60v over 52v has its advantages. This is the one I was comparing to. bit.ly/VoroMantis
@@GingerOnWheels thats the one I test drove and really enjoyed it! I appreciate your kind response. I live in a hilly area in California I think i the mantis will do the trick
@@everythingautomotiveeta5839 with all scooters it depends how much you weigh. I hit 38-39 consistently on flats at 150lbs on the mantis pro se

Any idea about how I can find the shocks upgrade he mentioned in the video
I'm 105 kilo and about 6 foot 1. I've been looking at the Wolf Warrior GT Pro because I want a scooter that is not just a toy, but one that means business. One that is very strong but comfortable to ride, very reliable and easy to find parts for, and one that has good speed. One that is good for off road would be a bonus to. I seat attachment would be great but optional. What would you recommend?
Just waiting till you upgrade the battery. But for the price it might just be one of my favorite scooters.
Would you get this or the Apollo ghost?
About how long (in time length) can you go while riding off road?
And really good and helpful video, thumbs up.
hi..love your reviews...quick question: pegasus or eagle one to buy for commuting 25 km per day in Ireland where the roads are crap and wet :) it's not to much difference in price but I'm affraid of having flat tyre on eagle one as it's pain to change it :S but do love suspension and larger deck on it.... I'm almost at my 40yo and never ride e-scooter :D :D :D
have you tried nanrobot d6+ in my opinion its a great scooter :)
Man, what would you recommend, get VSETT 10+ 20.8ah version. Or get Varla eagle one and save 200 dollars, that i can spend on upgrades?
Does those frame Sliders fit on the kaabo wolf gt?
Another great video!
Yessir.
Everyone has something bad to say about the Wolf king gt. I hope they get the issues fixed before my batch comes in mid march from voro!
Excellent video Mr. Wheels.
Thank you, sir!
I’m about to get one of these soon how long did it take to ship
About 7 days.
what is the top speed ?
I was looking at getting a e bike. But the scooters look more fun. I'm 54 young and 190lbs. I have a zx10r but that's something I take out to bike or car shows. I'm not sure what scooter is going to be better. I do like dirt roads as well and some trails
Zero 10x/Varla Eagle One/Turbowheel Lightning (all the same) or Vsett 10+ are what I would consider.
@@HarmanRobotics I was looking at the eagle one. But I'm liking the King pro. Probably bust my assss. Lol.
@@Floridawoodsbanshee Yeah, that's in a whole other class. Quite a bit heavier and more difficult to transport, and double the cost too - but I can see the appeal...
Do you prefer this one over Vsett9+ ?
Great video! thx
I think that's going to be a tie from me. They both shine in different areas.
Hey man, what kind of helmet are you using in this video, I like it..
You getting a bluetran lightning for review?
Do you have another link to stem laser that link dosnt work
I fixed it. Thanks for letting me know. Description is updated now.
Varla eagle one is definitely same as zero 10x and dragon 10x scooter in sitting them on side by side on each 3 models and compression and compared on each different battery sizes
I upgraded my suspension in the back on the KAABO wolf warrior 11+ i got and what a major difference Fluidfreeride put the best medium to hard cartridges in there for me plus i only weigh 145lb they should last a few years
Cartridges? There are just springs and bushings, can you send a link to the new suspension pieces you're talking about?
Do you have to have these registered
Did anyone comment to ask if there is a how-to installation video for the rear shock? Thanks!
I found it! From the same site where the hybrid tires come from on the link provided in the video description: revrides.com/collections/all-parts/products/zero-rugged-folding-clamp
Great video nice 👍
It looks way better with the hybrid tires the vsett 10+ looks good with them two i had them on ly yume D5+ but when i measured mine they measured 3 1/2 inches
What helmet do you use?
Also the frame sliders please
Hey Ginger how do you like that helmet? I got the same one about a month ago and love how light it is, but the chin guard seems... thin. You ever crashed on that helmet? How'd it hold up if so?
I love the bell super air R. Its my go-to helmet for rides below 40mph or when its hot. I've crashed and hit the chin guard, doesn't pop off.
do you still consider the zero 11x a good choice for 20-30 miles/d usage?
Absolutely
I WANT THE 11X...

whats your opinion on the Bronco 11 Extreme though? I might just get that for the range
@@ShiftoHvH the fenders are a little clunky offroad but they work very well for deterring water. You'll also likely have to add your own auxiliary headlights to see at night. Other than that it's a 10/10.
Nice video. BTW, what scooter would you recommend for someone trying to go with a range of 60 miles, and speed 40mph minimum? And a good lighting system? I been trying to find the right one but it is hard with so many at different prices and different specs. I want one below $2800.
There isn't a scooter that can go 40mph for 60 miles, yet.
Closest to these features under 2. 5k would be a vsett 9+ (the 21ah model) for dual motors or an apollo explore or even the emove cruiser with a single one.
