The two cheapest real e-motos, about $100 apart. Power, battery, brakes, sizing and support compared from both brands' own specs, plus where the $1,299 Yozma IN11 fits.
If you want Sur-Ron shape without Sur-Ron money, these are the two bikes you land on. They weigh the same 121 lb, carry almost the same battery, and are both off-road only. On paper the Nova X wins most of the numbers for about $100 less. In practice the answer depends on how you plan to keep the bike running. Every spec below comes from Eskute’s and Yozma’s own product pages, checked October 11, 2026.

Eskute quotes 4,000W peak and 230 N·m of torque for the Nova X. Yozma quotes 2,600W peak (1,200W rated) and 146 N·m for the IN10. Torque is what you feel pulling out of a corner or up a hill, and 230 against 146 is a big gap on paper.
Top speed follows the same pattern: up to 46 mph for the Nova X against 40 for the IN10, which has three modes at 18, 24 and 40 mph. Treat both top speeds as ceilings. Claimed speeds in this category are best runs, not what you will see on a trail.
The packs are almost identical: 48V 23Ah on the Nova X and 48V 23.4Ah on the IN10, both around 1,100Wh. Eskute claims 60 miles of range “under optimal conditions”; Yozma claims 35 to 53. Same battery, different optimism. Expect real range well below either number if you ride on the throttle the way these bikes are built for.
The IN10 charges faster. Yozma ships a 5A charger and quotes 5 to 6 hours from empty. Eskute’s 3A charger takes 6.5 to 8.5 hours. That matters if you ride, charge and ride again the same day.
Both have hydraulic brakes. Eskute publishes more detail: 203mm rotors front and rear, and a 100mm hydraulic front fork. Yozma lists a hydraulic front fork and a nitrogen rear shock but no travel figures, so we cannot compare suspension travel directly.
The Nova X is rated for 280 lb of rider and gear, the IN10 for 265. Both are light limits for a full-size adult in riding gear, so check your own weight with gear before you choose.
Yozma rates the IN10 for riders from 3.94 to 5.9 ft, about 3’11″ to 5’11″, ages 14 and up. Eskute’s listed height range for the Nova X is garbled on its product page, so use the table above as a guide and measure your inseam against the seat height before buying. If you are over about 5’11″, the IN10 is outside Yozma’s own rating, and a bigger bike like the IN10 Pro is the honest choice.
Yozma has authorized dealers, but the network is thin and spread out: independent EV showrooms and regional powersports shops rather than traditional motorcycle dealerships. Check whether one is near you before counting on local support, because for most buyers it will not be. The IN10 uses a standard 420 powersports chain and has a real aftermarket parts scene, which matters more than 6 mph the first time something breaks. Eskute sells direct with a wider bike lineup but a thinner e-moto parts ecosystem. Both come with a one-year warranty.
Yozma has just opened pre-orders for the IN11 at $1,299, shipping from October 22. It closes most of the power gap to the Nova X: 4,800W peak, 200 N·m and 45 mph, with a bigger battery of about 1,404Wh. But it costs about $300 more than the Nova X, weighs 134.5 lb, and is rated for only 220 lb of rider and gear.
If you are choosing between these two and the IN11 has caught your eye, the question is whether you want Yozma’s parts and dealer network badly enough to pay for it. Our IN11 page has the full specs and sizing.
Neither is street legal. Not in a grey-area way: these have no lights, no signals, no pedals, and no path to registration, and both brands say off-road only on their own pages. If you do not have private land or legal trails, do not buy either of these, whatever the internet tells you.
