Yozma's IN 11 Mini Moto Brings 4.8kW Motor and Bigger Battery, but Faces Pricier Fight Against Rivals

Yozma, one of the brands that helped bring mini motos into the mainstream, has begun shipping the IN 11, an upgrade to its popular IN 10 that aims to bridge the gap between entry-level mini bikes and higher-end off-roaders. Electrek reviewed the bike and found it a strong step forward, though one entering a much more crowded market than its predecessor did.

Alongside Tuttios and Sur Rons, the IN 10 was among the most popular mini motos around, and it was common to spot several in any group of young riders at a suburban rideout. The IN 11 is specced more like the larger IN10 Pro than the model it replaces.

The headline change is power. The IN 11 lists a peak motor output of 4,800W, up sharply from the 2,600W of the IN 10, with a claimed peak torque of 200 Nm for aggressive climbing. Top speed in Race mode is advertised at 45 mph, with real-world figures only slightly lower. A removable 52V, 27Ah battery pack, rated at 1,404Wh, promises up to 55 miles in Eco mode and a recharge time of five to six hours. The reviewer cautioned that riders should expect more like 20 to 30 miles when riding hard.

Other features include four riding maps: Eco, Sport, Race and Stunt. Stunt mode includes Auto Wheelie Assist, which lets riders cap front-wheel elevation between 15 and 40 degrees with anti-tip protection, likened to digital training wheels. The bike also adds a one-button reverse gear for tight trails and garages, along with a brake light and a magnetic kill switch that can stand in for a key in some cases. The review noted that wheelies raise the likelihood of injury.

The reviewer said parents hoping to keep their children's e-motos in the 20 to 30 mph range will probably be happier with the older 2.6kW motors than the new 4.5kW class. The brake light and magnetic kill switch were described as two welcome safety improvements over the IN 10.

In the reviewer's assessment, the IN 11 is far sturdier than the generic electric pit bikes sold through Amazon and Alibaba. Assembly was quicker and easier than on any other e-moto they had built, the brakes felt better dialed in, turning was tighter, and the ride was quieter and lighter. In limited testing, the bike delivered more range than other models with similar battery and motor specs, and its 200 Nm of torque felt suited to a more expensive machine. As the largest and most trusted brand in the segment, the reviewer argued, Yozma is the safer bet.

The wheelie mode, with 15, 25 or 40 degree settings, was seen previously at this price point only on Anylands bikes. The reviewer said it is more developed on the IN 11 and expects the feature on most new pit bikes over the next few years.

Price is the main drawback. Launch and pre-order pricing is around $1,299, though the cost has been fluctuating between $1,299 and $1,499. That puts Yozma at the higher end of 4.5kW e-motos. The Heybike Villain and the Engwe Eagle have already brought 52V, 4.5kW motors to the pit bike format, sometimes at much lower cost, and the review noted that dozens of similar mini e-motos exist. Newcomers are bringing intense value competition to a segment Yozma once dominated on its own.
