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

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!

GBNot what is promised on the website They promised I would get 2 chargers, I didn't. With one charger it takes 9 hrs to charge. The website states that the scooter goes 40 mph, it doesn't. I emailed and called the support, they said that the scooter doesn't really go 40 mph only 35, so they lied on the website. When I asked about a refund, I received no reply. Don't waste your money on this. It's not as promised and for $1700.00 I should get exactly what they promised.

GBMy Varla Eagle One V2 Goes With Me Everywhere! I take my Varla Eagle One V2 Every Where. I’ve had my Eagle One V2 for about a month and it already has 100 miles on it. I take my V2 every where. I've made a custom carrier for my truck and my Tesla. Both on road and off road riding has been awesome! I easily obtain speeds of 39 to 42 MPH. I'm 5’11” and weigh approximately 190 lbs. EOV2 has exceeded my expectations! I'm a previous HiBoy Titan and Titan Pro owner and didn’t think a scooter could get any better, but it did with EOV2. My off road riding consist of slight to very hilly, dirt and gravel, fire trials and hiking trails with max grades of 25%-30%. Varla’s Customer Service has been outstanding. Their response has been prompt and they always address my needs in a timely manner. I am extremely happy with my Varla Eagle One V2 scooter and expect to be a Varla customer for a long time.
