The mini-moto segment has been dominated for years by a handful of names that turned a niche hobby into a mainstream pastime. Yozma helped turn the idea of a pocket-sized electric dirt bike into a backyard staple, and the IN11 is the company’s latest attempt to tighten the gap between entry-level toys and full-blown off-road machines. While the predecessor IN10 was praised for its simplicity and affordability, the new model arrives with a suite of upgrades that promise more power, longer runs, and a handful of electronic aids aimed at newer riders.
Powertrain, battery and raw performance
The heart of the IN11 is a 4,800 W peak brushless motor that dwarfs the 2,600 W unit found in the older IN10. Paired with a claimed 200 Nm of torque, the bike launches off the line with a torque curve that feels more at home on a midsize off-road motorcycle than on a kid’s pit bike. Energy comes from a removable 52 V, 27 Ah lithium-ion pack—roughly 1,404 Wh on paper. In the manufacturer’s Eco mode the range approaches 55 miles, though realistic use in Sport or Race mode typically yields 20-30 miles before a 5- to 6-hour charge is required. Top speed is listed as 45 mph in Race mode; independent tests usually report a few tenths lower, still well above the 30 mph ceiling most parents consider safe for youngsters.
Riding modes and handling dynamics
Four selectable maps—Eco, Sport, Race and Stunt—let riders dial the bike’s output to match confidence levels or terrain demands. In Eco, the controller limits current draw to preserve energy, while Race opens the full throttle envelope for aggressive acceleration. The hydraulic disc brakes feel proportionally strong for a 140-kg machine, delivering a confident stop even on loose gravel. Steering geometry is relatively tight, which translates to quick corner entry but demands a steady hand at higher speeds. The bike’s chassis, built from reinforced steel tubing, feels substantially stiffer than many budget-oriented competitors, reducing flex during hard jumps or rapid direction changes.
Safety suite and rider-assist technology
Yozma has leaned into electronic safety aids with the IN11. The standout is the Smart Wheelie Assist embedded in Stunt mode, allowing the rider to set a maximum front-wheel lift of 15°, 25° or 40°. The system monitors pitch and automatically cuts power if the angle exceeds the preset limit, acting like a digital set of training wheels for aerial tricks. A one-button reverse gear helps maneuver tight trails or garage spaces without the need to physically push the bike. Additionally, a magnetic kill switch can instantly cut power, and integrated brake lights improve visibility during night rides. These features, while not universal in the sub-$1,000 segment, aim to make the bike more approachable for beginners.
Price point and competition landscape
At launch, the IN11 retails for roughly $1,299 (often reduced to $1,199 with promotional codes). This places it above many Chinese-manufactured alternatives such as the Heybike Villain or Engwe Eagle, which also sport 4.5 kW motors but typically trade under $1,000. The higher price is justified by Yozma’s brand reputation, a more solid build, and the extra safety electronics. For parents who prefer to cap speeds at 20-30 mph, the 4.8 kW output may feel excessive, and a lower-powered model could provide a better safety margin. However, riders seeking a bike that can comfortably tackle steep climbs, deliver consistent torque, and support longer rides will likely appreciate the extra wattage.
Overall, the IN11 feels like a polished evolution rather than a radical redesign. Assembly is straightforward—most owners report a fully assembled bike out of the box after a brief tighten-up of bolts, and the removable battery simplifies charging logistics. The combination of a strong motor, respectable range, and rider-focused aids makes the bike a compelling choice for teens moving from entry-level e-bikes to true off-road performance. Buyers should weigh the premium price against the added durability and safety features, especially if they plan to ride on varied terrain rather than just a flat backyard strip.
