Yozma IN11 vs Eskute Nova X: $1,499 vs $979.99

The new Yozma IN11 against the cheaper Eskute Nova X. Power, battery, size, payload and price compared from both brands' own specs, and which one to buy.

The Yozma IN11 is the newest bike in the budget e-moto class. It launched on October 22 at $1,499, up from its $1,299 pre-order price. The Eskute Nova X is the bike it has to beat on price: $979.99, and down to $899 in Eskute’s Halloween sale. On paper the two are closer than the price gap suggests. Every spec below comes from Yozma’s and Eskute’s own product pages, checked October 22, 2026. We have not ridden either one.

Power: closer than the wattage says

Yozma quotes 4,800W peak and 200 N·m of torque for the IN11. Eskute quotes 4,000W peak and 230 N·m for the Nova X. So the IN11 claims more peak power, the Nova X claims more torque, and both claim mid-40s top speeds: 45 mph for the IN11 and 46 for the Nova X. Brands measure these numbers their own way, so treat power as a tie on paper rather than a win for either bike.

Battery: the IN11’s clearest advantage

The IN11 carries about 1,404Wh against the Nova X’s roughly 1,104Wh, about 27% more. Oddly, Yozma claims less range for it: 55 miles against Eskute’s 60 “under optimal conditions.” Battery size is the harder number to exaggerate, so if long sessions matter to you, the IN11’s bigger pack is the most solid reason to pay more.

Size, weight and who fits

The IN11 is the heavier bike, 134.5 lb against 121, and it is rated to carry less: 220 lb of rider and gear against the Nova X’s 280. That 60 lb gap is the most important number on this page. A full-size adult in boots, a helmet and a backpack can be over 220 lb before the bike moves.

Both bikes run a 14-inch front and 12-inch rear wheel, so they are a similar size. Yozma rates the IN11 for riders from about 3’11″ to 5’11″. Eskute’s height guidance for the Nova X is hard to read on its product page, so treat the table above as a guide and check your inseam against the seat height before buying either one.

What each one adds

The IN11 has a reverse gear, Yozma’s wheelie-control modes and hydraulic disc brakes. Yozma also has authorized dealers, though the network is thin, and through November 2 it includes a free Halloween gift box with the IN11 while supplies last.

The Nova X has hydraulic brakes with published detail, 203mm rotors front and rear, plus a 100mm front fork and an IPX4 water rating. Yozma does not list rotor size, suspension travel or a water rating for the IN11.

Price

The Nova X is about $520 cheaper, or $600 at its Halloween price, and Eskute’s Halloween code CANDY20 takes another $20 off its e-bikes. We have not confirmed whether the code stacks with the sale price.

That gap is bigger than it was during pre-orders, when the IN11 was $1,299. At $1,499, the IN11 is also only $300 short of the IN10 Pro, which is the bike to look at if the rider is a full-size adult. Our IN11 page has the full specs and sizing.

What neither one is

Neither is street legal. Both have front and rear lights, but no turn 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.

THE VERDICTBuy the Nova X if you are a full-size adult, want to save $500 or more, or want the higher payload. It claims the same top speed, more torque and 60 lb more capacity for about two-thirds of the price. Buy the IN11 if you and your gear come in under 220 lb and you want the bigger battery and a reverse gear enough to pay for them.
