$1,599 for an entire electric dirt bike. That was the number we kept coming back to while riding the Yozma IN 11.
Earlier this year, we tested the IN 10 Pro and had a hard time understanding how Yozma could sell it for the price. When the IN 11 showed up, we wanted to see where the brand was headed, and whether another inexpensive eMoto could actually be worth riding.
After spending some time on it ourselves and handing it over to ECR test rider Wyatt Fullerton, the IN 11’s purpose became pretty clear. This is a budget play bike, and within that role, it delivers a surprising amount of fun.
What Is the Yozma IN 11?
Despite the bigger model number, the IN 11 is smaller than the IN 10 Pro we previously tested. With a 14-inch front wheel, 12-inch rear wheel, and a 29.5-inch seat height, it sits roughly in the size range of a 65cc motocross bike.
That makes it an interesting option for smaller riders or adults looking for something to mess around on. The compact dimensions make it approachable, but this is still a substantial little motorcycle: Yozma lists its weight at 134.5 pounds.
Our test was based around the $1,599 price discussed in the video. Yozma currently lists that as the regular price, with promotional pricing that varies by offer and color.

Yozma does not provide suspension travel or brake rotor dimensions in that specification list. We also did not perform a full battery range test, so the 55-mile figure should not be treated as an ECR result.
Power and Ride Modes
We started in the lowest mode to see how manageable the IN 11 felt. On a bike like this, the way it delivers power matters just as much as the peak number.
Mode one was mellow and subdued. It gave us room to get comfortable with the bike before stepping up through the settings. Moving into the higher modes brought considerably more acceleration, and by mode three, the IN 11 was scooting along well enough to keep an adult entertained.
The throttle delivery is one place where the price shows. It doesn’t have the refinement of more expensive electric dirt bikes, but for cruising around and riding casual pit bike terrain, it gets the job done.
During our short top-speed run, we saw approximately 38 mph before running out of space. That run didn’t establish the bike’s maximum speed or verify Yozma’s 45 mph claim. We’re not saying it can’t get there, but make sure you’ve got a lot of run way if you want to hit 45 mph.
Stunt mode adds adjustable wheelie assistance, which is something we definitely weren’t expecting to discuss on a bike at this price. We see a lot of brands adding this feature, but for the low price of the IN 11, it’s a surprising addition, although our main interest was how the IN 11 worked as a regular play bike.
The Brakes Are a Standout
The brakes were one of our favorite parts of the IN 10 Pro, and the IN 11 gave us a similar impression.
There is a surprising amount of stopping power here. From the first few brake checks, the brakes stood out as one of the bike’s best attributes. Wyatt came away with the same feedback after his ride.
Our main complaint was lever reach. The levers on our test bike weren’t reach adjustable, which could make them harder for smaller hands to operate comfortably. On a compact bike that may appeal to smaller riders, that deserves attention when checking fit.
How Does It Fit a Smaller Rider?
An adult can have fun on the IN 11, but we wanted feedback from someone who fit it better. Enter Wyatt Fullerton: our 11-year-old ECR test rider, who stands 4 feet 8 inches tall and regularly races 65cc and 85cc motocross bikes.
Wyatt immediately felt comfortable with the compact layout. He compared the IN 11’s size and handling more closely to his 65 than his 85, and liked how easily he could find a flow on it.
He also liked the seat comfort and available grip. Between the dimensions, seating position, and brakes, there was plenty he enjoyed. The suspension was where his feedback got slightly more critical.
Suspension Is the Limiting Factor
Wyatt described the suspension as soft and clanky on the track. We noticed the budget feel as well, with the fork topping out when at full travel, along with some rattles and a generally less polished ride than more expensive bikes.
That’s the biggest distinction to understand before buying one. A small bike with dirt bike styling doesn’t automatically deliver the suspension performance of a youth motocross bike.
Wyatt can push a motorcycle hard, and the riding he was doing exposed the IN 11’s limitations. Based on his experience with both Yozmas, he preferred the IN 10 Pro for track use.
For backyard loops, mellow dirt riding, and casual play, the IN 11 makes more sense. If the goal is regular motocross practice or aggressive riding, we’d want more suspension underneath us.
Our Take on the Yozma IN 11
Small pit bikes aren’t usually where we spend most of our riding time, but the IN 11 was more fun than we expected.
You can feel where Yozma saved money. The suspension, throttle response, and overall finish reflect the price. Even with those compromises, we kept coming back to the same question: how are they selling a complete electric dirt bike for $1,599?
For someone looking for an affordable backyard play bike, or a compact electric pit bike to ride alongside their existing motorcycles, there’s a lot to like. The brakes are strong, the lower mode is mellow, and the higher settings provide enough power to keep things entertaining.
Keep the expectations realistic, check the fit, and stay on top of the hardware. The IN 11 gives riders a relatively inexpensive way to get out on the dirt—and we had a good time doing exactly that. We’re also including it in our upcoming pit bike comparison to see how it stacks up against the competition, so keep an eye out for that.
