Yozma IN10 Pro Review: $2,000 buys 50mph Sur Ron Light Bee killa

Published: May 22nd 2026 1:51am on Electrek

Last month I reviewed the $1,200 Yozma IN10 and called it unstoppable at its price point. Then I promised to come back with another thousand dollars and the Pro. Here we are.

The base $1200 IN10 made a compelling case for itself as a teen’s trail machine. The Pro makes a different argument entirely. Same fun Yozma DNA, same off-road-only positioning — but the numbers have jumped into territory that starts to make you ask harder questions. The IN10 Pro is rated at 5,500W peak with 220Nm of torque and a claimed 50mph top speed. For context: that’s not eMoto-for-kids territory anymore. That’s approaching light electric motorcycle territory, at a fraction of the price.
