I 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
