GBI purchased an Eagle one scooter from… varlascooter.com ****update***** I just noticed that someone left a 5 star rating that is not a personal experience but clearly an attempt from varla to increase their pitiful score. I would expect more of these fake reviews because none of their reviews are good! Original review: I purchased an Eagle one scooter from them and received it within 2 weeks. It worked out of the box but then the front motor broke. I contacted varla via email and received a link on how to take apart the scooter and switch a couple of wires to do a self diagnosis. I did what I was asked and told them the motor was still broke. They would send me a new motor if I paid for shipping from china. WHAT???? This began a back and forth email chain resulting in my decision to return the scooter. With each request they would not comply but offer me free items to prevent the return. I ended up filing a claim with my credit card company. After a month of telling varla I wanted a return and refund they finally complied. This must have been after 20+ emails. I found out they are not a manufacturer but buy their scooters off site similar to wish and then make a modification and put their name on the scooter. The USA address is not valid and neither is their customer service phone number. Stay away from Varla! The Facebook varla group is rife with horror stories

GBI received my Eagle One V2.0 about a… I received my Eagle One V2.0 about a month ago. After about 10 miles the front hydraulic brake sprang a leak rendering the scooter un-rideable. I was unable to correct the problem and contacted support. They were very helpful and sent the replacement part needed via Fed-X air. I replaced the brake lever assembly in about 15 minutes and was back in business. I couldn't give a 5 star purchase experience because of the breakdown, but the after sales support was 5 star. I own several e-bikes and this scooter is my go to mode now for fun and local (3-5 miles) transportation. I am 73 years old and this thing is a HOOT.

GBIncompetent and Dishonest Company I ordered a Varla Scooter and accessories on 4/12 and paid $1900. It is now 4/28 and I have not received the package due to gross incompetence from the company. The promised delivery date was 4/22. I would like a full refund as I am not interested in doing any further business with this company. I was informed on the UPS website on 4/22 that the delivery was not possible due to incorrect information from the sender. I have repeatedly contacted Varla on 4/22, 4/23 and 4/24 and they have been inconsistent and insincere in their responses on the reasoning for the issues. They even told me inaccurate information on how to resolve which contradicted what UPS told me. This is unacceptable customer service for an expensive product and clearly a bad sign of things to come in terms of reliability if I were to deal with this company regarding product issues or maintenance. I am not interested in any concessions, just a full refund.

GBI wish I could rate zero stars I wish I could rate zero stars. I purchased an Eagle one scooter. They advertised that 2 chargers were included. When the scooter arrived there was only 1 charger. When I emailed Varla they said they would send a second charger. It took over a month to receive. I enjoyed the scooter for just over 100 miles. Then one of the controllers went out. I purchased a new controller and now the scooter won't power on. Varla will not warranty the $1800 scooter.
