I just got one of these recently. About 3 weeks ago. I flipping love it!!! I bought mine because I have a bad back that I recently injured at work. I'm an active person as well, and as of late merely walking causes a lot of pain to my tailbone as my upper body feels it's bouncing on my hip area whenever I walk. So in order to get out in public and be able to walk around again in the parks and stuff I purchased a wireless scooter The Pegasus. After loosening the rear suspension a tad bit. The ride has become beautiful even for my damaged back. I recommend the Varla Pegasus for anybody. This does include people in my position. Now when I was a kid I used to ride GT and haro scooters. As we used to do tricks and backflips on them. So with me this was a familiar type of transportation. I didn't have much of a learning curve on it. Also the steering dampening system on the far lepegasus is super ideal. Especially for beginner scooter riders. It feels weird and wonky at first. But when you pick up speed it becomes something you realize as of huge benefit. And allows you to focus more on learning to control the machine, than your fear of falling. Also. Just a postscript for you. These scooters now come with nine and a half inch tubeless pneumatic tires. These tires are puncture proof like the originals. But I would say about four times softer than the originals. If you can. You would benefit by upgrading to the larger wheels for the Varla. It is a DREAM ride!!!

@TimsElectric Год назад

@Mike Torres thanks so much for sharing...hope your back feels better....I didn't know that the tires were updated....very cool :)

@markbevere9034 2 года назад

great video Tim. Just subscribed. Interested in your other videos too. Only question I would have about this scooter is deck size. Is it large enough? Have you tested an EMOVE? thx Mark

@TimsElectric 2 года назад

Hi Mark, I find the deck size a bit on the small size...but adequate :) I have big feet (14.5 US) and I can squeeze them on without issue. As to the Emove...I have reviewed both the Cruiser and Touring (I've done several videos on each) Here's one for the Touring: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-v3e4_NGSjL0.html and one of them for the Cruiser: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g6JWKhZ_gZ8.html Hope this helps :) Cheers Tim p.s. Thanks for the Sub :)

@TimsElectric Год назад

I was with you on this but after speaking with an engineer on this, he mentioned that it's more stable and cheaper...so no fold is better ...except for those of us who want to pop scooters in the trunks of our cars :) :)

Another awesome review Timothy this Electric Scooter looks incredible. This review really sold this scooter to me 👍 Also Timothy the strap is to go around the top of the clasp as an extra safety feature in case the red button gets pressed the strap is extra support make sure not to apply over the red button.

Nice chillstep =) Also Timothy have you any thoughts on the Hero x8 (solid wheel dual Motor or as I reckon it's the Pegasus's brother from another mother) and the New Hero s10? 1000W beast I would very much like your input if you ever got around to looking at these scooters. They Look amazing.

@jake2772 2 года назад

Great video! I like the idea of no flat tires that is nice! How fast have you gone on it? How many miles on a charge? I’m 6ft 230lbs btw

@TimsElectric 2 года назад

Hi Jake, I actually don't remember if I did a speed test on the Pegasus...I typically don't.. I typically put the Pegasus in Level 2 speed and it seems to be happy around 20 MPh 32KPH In level 3 it would be faster....I'm guessing 25 or more without issue especially because you're lighter than I am (I'm 255lbs and 6') I love it ...and reach for it often..in practice I reach for it more than the Eagle One....the range and speed is higher of course on the Eagle One but if I'm not going too far then I grab the Pegasus...no flats :)

@ericlongstaff6460 2 года назад

Great review Mr. West, I am very interested in buying this scooter, I'm a big fan of solid tires, although the comfort level may be compromised but I'm ok with that. I think the pros outweighs cons in terms of solid vs pneumatic tires. No need to check air pressure, (weekly) no need to buy pressure gauge, inter tubes, tires, slim, or air pump, and one has the peace of mind of not getting a flat. I have a Qeiwa Q Mini solid tires which I bought about two years ago and I love it. I got over 5,000 miles on it, very dependable and reliable, and I've done nothing to it, except a new controller and trigger throttle, that's it. I like what I see in this Varla, have they giving you any discount codes for us to use?

@TimsElectric 2 года назад

Hi Eric, I don't believe they have a discount code at present but will message them and see if they are thinking of doing one :) Thanks for sharing the Q mini info...awesome to hear that it's lasted well so far :) I'll post any discounts below this post :) Cheers Tim

@@TimsElectric I was going to ask this very thing as Mr. Pham, so I'll pile on here. I am looking at one of these as well and I am just down south from you in Seattle Area so wet pavement and water resistance would be a concern. I plan to enhance the H2O protection but would like to hear your evaluation of that and comparison of the tires for grip vs ride on both paved and gravel roads maybe since one is Pneumatic and one is solid/wide. Thank you so much for your relatable positive reviewing style. I have been binging on your videos over the last week so hopefully you see a pop in numbers ;).

@@j.abella6892 keep binging lol So please you're enjoying the videos...wet day here too :) So I think I need to do a video on this...right now I reach for the Pegasus....the solid tires means I have piece of mind...the wet roads are ok...but I typically don't ride in the wet as I think it's not too safe....but if I have to I reach for the Pegasus :) but you both raise a fair point and will be doing a comparison between the two machines very soon...as soon as the rain stops for a couple of days I have a bunch of videos to make :) Cheers from the island :)

@prettypenny8563 Год назад

Hello, I plan on buying this scooter for commuting to work. Commute is 13 miles. What are your thoughts. Thanks Tim😎

@TimsElectric Год назад

Honestly, I think 13 miles is a long long way for a daily commute on a scooter. I loved the Pegasus but I really think for that range you might look at an Ebike or even Electric moped style scooter....IMHO :) Do hit reply with your size and location and I'll be better able to answer your question...but really 13miles every day is a long way :)

@KisaDreams Год назад

Really like the style and specs, but man 60 lbs... that's half my weight lol. Need a portable scooter to get around, just for fun and store in the trunk. Any recs for light weight ones?

@TimsElectric Год назад

You're so right @KisaDreams, Id' look at the Apollo City, the Uscooter Booster V and the Inmotion S1....I've reviewed them all...they're comfy and have various pros and cons....lightest for short distances is the Uscooter :)

@markbates2300 2 года назад

On the locking mechanism, when you brake down the steering handle. The hook on the handle, is hooked to the ring on the board. That ring doesn’t look to strong or am I wrong? Thanks

@TimsElectric 2 года назад

You are right!!! It broke :( I didn't trust it so I use both hands:)

@markbates2300 2 года назад

@@TimsElectric think that can be replaced? I’m digging this scooter, but when I saw the ring, it was the first thing to pop into my brain “is that ring strong enough to hold it”

@TimsElectric 2 года назад

It's a simple fix at the hardware store I think ;) I'm not going to bother:)

@rce2553 3 месяца назад

If they made these heavier scooters to fold up like a hand truck, so you could wheel is around on one wheel while walking with it instead of carrying it , that would be ideal, I think, but maybe you can roll it around in the unlocked position and just not fold it down until you get all the way to where your going.

@TimsElectric 3 месяца назад

Awesome @rce2553, that's such a good idea...I'm thinking it would help but if you're on flat ground you would just not fold it up...but I bet it would be easier to get it up the stairs :)

@nj8940 2 года назад

@TimsElectric 2 года назад

I need to make a video...can you release it ok? If so there's a small screw (like really small) and it locks the small nut...loosen the screw and then turn the nut a couple of times..then test it (that it works) and then tighten the screw (which will lock the nut)...hope that's not too confusing :) Once done it's a dream :) :) Let me know if you need a video :) Cheers Tim

@@TimsElectric awesome man thanks for the quick reply definitely leaning more towards this one, as far as tires size and solid tires on a scale of 1-10 how is the comfortbility while riding and how would it be on occasionally gravel. I would assume little rough

@TimsElectric Год назад

So I use the bike lanes...not sidewalks and with that in mind I give it a solid 7 out of 10. 10 out of 10 to an Apollo Ghost or Wolf King GT Pro. But they have air filled tires...with the Pegasus no flat tires :) :)

@chugs1232 Год назад

Yea, where I live we don't have to many bike lanes per say, we just have regular bike trails or roads more of a suburban area than city and but on the roads can't really go on them as much just because can't trust people these days I had a motorcycle that I just got rid of bc of that reason
