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 have purchased 3 electric scooter… I have purchased 3 electric scooter models from Varla and I have always been impressed with how they handle on the road, and always how safe they are to ride, compared to other models. The scooters are also really easy to fix when things go wrong, and they are always on top of their customer service. They have really easy to follow, instructional, how-to-videos and it has only taken 3 days when they have shipped me a replacement part when I needed one. They have a super friendly customer service and get back to you within minutes once you email them about an issue. It really is worth it to buy from Varla if you haven't chosen your eletric scooter ride yet!

GBWHAT A JOKE! RIPOFF I found them on a Facebook advertisement and I thought this would be a great starter scooter. The front motor lasted a week before it just died. I tried to contact their US phone number and all it does is ring. Even their local address they have in California is a generic location. It's not a real location or storefront. This got me VERY worried. After a long wait I finally got a response from their Ai based email system. I'm not getting any help other than how to trouble shoot via videos they put on YouTube. Im stuck with a dud and now I am going to file a claim with my credit card. I bet I start hearing from them once that process starts. I DO NOT recommend them. After reading reviews here on trust pilot, Im skeptical of the positive reviews. I wouldn't be surprised if they are company generated because after all the negative reviews, SUDDENLY there are positive reviews from people with just ONE review and consecutively day after day, vs the staggered negative comments. I WOULD AVOID VARLA at ALL COST!

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.
