If you‘ve been following the electric scooter industry in 2026, you’ve probably noticed that Joyor has been quietly rolling out some important changes. Two updates in particular stand out: a branding refresh for the S10 series, and a major hardware upgrade for the T10.
Neither of these changes is about adding more watts or more miles. Instead, they‘re about making better scooters — clearer naming, smarter security, and a more polished ownership experience.
Let’s break down exactly what‘s changed, why it matters, and what it means for you as a rider. 👇
🔄 Update #1: S10-S-Z is Now S10-S-Z — Same Power, Cleaner Name
If you‘ve been shopping for a Joyor scooter, you’ve probably come across the S10-S-Z — the brand‘s dual-motor off-road powerhouse with 2×1000W motors, a 60V 18Ah battery, and a reputation for brutal acceleration.
But here’s the thing: the name was a bit of a mouthful. S10-S-Z. Hyphens everywhere. Not exactly clean or memorable.
That‘s changing in 2026.
Joyor has officially renamed the model to JOYOR S10-S-Z — removing the hyphens for a cleaner, more modern look.
What changes?
What stays the same?
-
Same dual 1000W motors delivering dynamic power
-
Same 60V 18Ah battery with up to 46 miles of range
-
Same 10-inch off-road tires and hydraulic disc brakes
-
Same 120 kg (265 lbs) load capacity
Why This Matters
This might seem like a small change, but it‘s actually a sign of a maturing brand. Cleaner naming means:
-
Easier to search — no more guessing where the hyphens go
-
Easier to remember — S10S-Z rolls off the tongue better
-
Easier to find parts — S10-S-Z and S10S-Z refer to the exact same scooter
The bottom line: If you already own an S10-S-Z, nothing changes. If you‘re shopping for one, look for S10-S-Z — it’s the same beast, just with a cleaner badge.
🔐 Update #2: T10 Now Features NFC Smart Lock Technology
This is the bigger of the two updates — and arguably the more exciting one.
The Joyor T10 has been a European favorite for years, known for its 2×1000W motors, 60V 18Ah battery, and 75 km range. But in 2026, Joyor gave it a significant factory upgrade: an NFC (Near Field Communication) Smart Lock System.
What Is the NFC Smart Lock?
Instead of a traditional key or a simple power button, the upgraded T10 now requires a designated smart card to activate. Tap your card on the display, and the scooter powers on. Tap it again to lock it.
What this means for you:
-
No more fumbling for keys — just tap and go
-
Significantly reduced risk of theft — opportunistic thieves can‘t just press a button and ride away
-
No PIN code vulnerabilities — the system relies on encrypted NFC chip verification, not a guessable PIN
What Happens If You Lose Your Card?
Every upgraded T10 comes with multiple official NFC copies. If you lose all your cards, Joyor‘s customer support team can verify your ownership and provide replacement NFC cards or a compatible lock-set upgrade package.
What About the Rest of the T10?
Nothing else changes. The T10 still delivers:
-
75 km range from the 60V 18Ah battery
📊 What Real Riders Are Saying
The T10 has earned a loyal following, and the new NFC upgrade only adds to its appeal.
Real rider feedback on the T10:
“My daily commute is about 15 kilometers... I couldn‘t be happier with my Joyor T10. The scooter arrived quickly, perfectly packed, and ready to ride straight out of the box. Build quality feels solid.”
“The power delivery is smooth and the brakes are incredibly responsive. It feels very safe.”
On the 60V advantage:
“The 60V 18Ah battery gives this scooter a noticeable power advantage over my friend‘s 48V model. The ride quality is smooth thanks to the 10” air tyres and aluminium frame. The hydraulic disc brakes are consistent every time.”
Long-term durability: After 1,024 miles of real-world commuting, one T10 owner reported:
-
Only an 11% drop in battery range after roughly 120 charge cycles
-
Estimated $1,400 saved in gas and parking fees in a single year
🎯 Why These Updates Matter for You
