Listen: I don’t particularly need an electric dirt bike to get from one end of my place to the other. I’ve also never been particularly opposed to making an otherwise mundane task a bit more entertaining.
The Yozma IN 10 Pro looks suspiciously like something a teenager would beg for at Christmas. Having spent a fair amount of time on it as a slightly-older-than-teenager, I think this proverbial kid might be onto something.
I used this little electric dirt bike to rip around my property doing homestead chores and to get back and forth to trailheads during archery elk season. It’s incredibly quiet, easy to maneuver, and wildly quick for its size. It also feels almost like a toy, except this particular toy could absolutely wreck you if you’re being an idiot. With a listed top speed of 50 mph, there’s plenty of opportunity for that.
I had an absolute blast on it, and at around $1,900, it’s a surprisingly affordable way to have a little fun on two wheels.
In Short: The Yozma IN 10 Pro is a compact electric dirt bike with far more power than its size suggests. Its small frame, quiet motor, and responsive handling make it particularly well-suited to smaller adults and teenagers who want something to ride around their property or designated motorized trails. It won’t replace a full-size dirt bike, and larger riders will likely feel cramped, but it’s a fun little machine for those of us on the smaller side.

Key Features
A Whole Lot of Motor for a Little Bike
Yozma packed a brushless mid-drive motor with 5,500W of peak output into the IN 10 Pro, giving it a claimed top speed of 50 mph. That’s a healthy amount of speed for something with such a small frame.
The bike offers three selectable riding modes with approximate speed limits of 22, 34, and 47 mph. The lower modes make it easier to get comfortable with the throttle, while the highest setting lets riders access the bike’s full power.
There’s also a reverse setting, which is handy when maneuvering in tight spaces and not something you see on motorcycles outside of Honda’s Gold Wing and its ilk.
The controls are straightforward and should be familiar to anyone with a little motorcycling experience. There’s no clutch or shifting to worry about, and the electric motor responds immediately when you twist the throttle. If you’re accustomed to gas-powered dirt bikes, the lack of gears and engine noise takes a little getting used to.
Compact Frame and Suspension
The IN 10 Pro has a 17-inch front wheel and a 14-inch rear wheel with knobby off-road tires, and while both are smaller than you’d normally see on a dirt bike, there are plenty of tire options when you wear yours out. The Yozma’s steel frame puts the seat at 30.7 inches, making it way more accessible for riders who might struggle with the height of a full-size dirt bike.
An inverted hydraulic front fork and rear nitrogen shock handle the suspension. It has some rear preload adjustment, though the front fork (unfortunately) isn’t adjustable.
The bike weighs 143 pounds, which is considerably more than you might guess from the look of it. That weight isn’t particularly noticeable while riding, but anyone planning to regularly load and unload it from a truck should keep it in mind. Also, while I’ve never personally dropped the bike, I don’t think it’d be too difficult to pick up if/when that happened.
Brakes, Battery, and Other Necessities
Front and rear hydraulic disc brakes provide stopping power, and an LCD displays speed, battery level, and other riding information. There’s also a headlight, taillight, kickstand, and keyed ignition.
A removable 60V 27Ah lithium-ion battery provides power, and Yozma advertises up to 60 miles of range with a charging time of approximately 6-7 hours. I’d take that maximum range with a grain of salt, particularly if you plan to ride aggressively. Speed, terrain, rider weight, and how enthusiastically you use the throttle will all influence battery life, but that’s normal for any electric vehicle.
For someone cruising in the lowest power mode, the battery should last much longer than for a rider constantly accelerating in the highest setting. If you plan to ride at full tilt most of the time, don’t count on getting 60 miles out of a charge, and plan accordingly.
Testing the Yozma IN 10 Pro
My testing involved much less motocross and much more everyday life. For the most part, I wasn’t hauling gear or expecting it to do an ATV’s job, but I wanted to see how practical it would be for getting around and how it handled on uneven terrain.
As it turns out, it’s pretty handy. It’s also a hell of a lot of fun.
Chores Are Better With a Throttle
I’ve managed to get chores done without an electric dirt bike for years, so I won’t try to convince anyone that the IN 10 Pro is some sort of agricultural necessity. But given the option to walk across my property or silently ripping across it on a dirt bike, I wasn’t doing much walking.
The bike is incredibly easy to maneuver. It’s compact, responsive, and feels remarkably lightweight once you’re moving. Turning around and navigating tight spaces is simple, and it takes very little physical effort to handle. I also appreciated the simplicity. There’s no engine to warm up or gears to shift through. I could hop on, get where I needed to go, and park it until the next trip.
The acceleration, though, is where I had the most fun. Holy hell, this little thing is zippy. The throttle response is almost immediate, and the bike has plenty of power to get moving fast. It’s a little ridiculous how quickly something this small can accelerate, especially considering how approachable it looks sitting still, but that’s electric motors for you. As for top speed, I got it to 47 mph on a straightaway, with more room to move.
Of course, there’s plenty of opportunity to get yourself into trouble if you’re careless with the throttle. I wouldn’t hand this to someone with no riding experience and tell them to go figure it out, but with a little self-control and the lower power settings, it shouldn’t be too intimidating for new or inexperienced riders.
Quiet Trips During Archery Elk Season
The IN 10 Pro came along during archery elk season, where I used it to get back and forth to trailheads. I’m not much for motorized movement during archery season, but when I’d normally hop in my truck at 4 am to rip down a dirt road a few miles from my basecamp, this little bike was a welcome addition.
One of the things I appreciated most was how quiet it is. There’s still some noise from the chain, tires, and drivetrain, but it’s a far cry from the racket of a gas-powered dirt bike or ATV. I spend enough time listening to engines in the woods from other hunters, and I’m glad to not add to the ruckus.
For short trips during hunting season, it was convenient to have something small and easy to ride without firing up a larger vehicle. I could get where I needed to go without making much noise. It also meant I didn’t have to break down my truck camp just to move about while I was set up in my rooftop tent.
I can see the appeal of an electric dirt bike for hunters, although there’s an important legal distinction to consider before taking one into the field.
The IN 10 Pro is an off-road electric motorcycle, not a conventional Class 1, 2, or 3 e-bike. On public lands, motorized travel restrictions still apply regardless of whether the motor runs on gas or electricity. A trail that’s open to mountain bikes isn’t necessarily open to an electric dirt bike. Check the applicable motor vehicle use maps and local regulations before heading out.
Small Bike, Small Rider
I’ll be pretty straightforward about this. The IN 10 Pro is not a bike I’d recommend for particularly large adults.
Its compact frame is a big part of what makes it so much fun, but there’s only so much room to work with. For folks under 5’6″, the proportions are great. It’s easy to handle and considerably less intimidating than a full-size dirt bike. For bigger riders, it’s going to feel perdy smol.
The relatively low seat height is awesome for me, but the short wheelbase and compact build limit how much room you have to move around, even as they increase its nimbleness. Riders with longer legs will find the seating position uncomfortable, particularly over longer distances.
I’d leave this one to the smaller folks who can really enjoy its proportions. Plenty of larger electric dirt bikes are available for people who need more room.
Where the Yozma IN 10 Pro Could Improve
Size and Suspension
The suspension is also fairly basic compared to more expensive electric dirt bikes, and it has its limits. Heavier riders put more demand on the non-adjustable fork and preload-adjustment-only rear shock, especially on rough terrain, and the hardware would likely struggle to keep up. I also wouldn’t take this thing to Baja and expect it to thrive. That’s not a real criticism; it costs under $2,000, but it’s worth noting.
Given the speeds the IN 10 Pro can reach, I’d love a little more suspension refinement, especially for riders who want to venture beyond relatively forgiving terrain. After a long ride on a rough trail, I was acutely aware of my age, which wasn’t particularly appreciated.
Quality and Price
Look, if we’re being blunt, this is a relatively low-cost Chinese-made electric dirt bike. If you’re expecting high-end finishes and refinement, you might be disappointed. I mean, this is a sub-$2K electric bike that comes with a sheet of DIY stickers. This is a fun purchase, not a luxury one.
Who Is the Yozma IN 10 Pro For?
I think the IN 10 Pro is a great option for smaller riders who want a fun electric dirt bike without spending real dirt-bike money. I wouldn’t recommend it for larger adults, serious motocross riders, or anyone who wants to tackle demanding technical terrain regularly.
It’s particularly well-suited to people with private property or access to designated motorized riding areas. It can also be useful for rural property owners who make short trips regularly and don’t want to take out a truck or ATV every time.
The simple controls make it approachable, although the power and speed aren’t something to take lightly. Yozma recommends it for riders 14 and older, and inexperienced riders should have proper instruction, supervision, and protective equipment.
Yozma IN 10 Pro Review: Conclusion
The Yozma IN 10 Pro is quiet, convenient, easy to maneuver, and can get me around my property without the hassle of firing up and moving a larger vehicle. I also appreciated having it during archery elk season, where its compact size and near-silent operation were super beneficial.
Those are all perfectly reasonable justifications for owning one, and I’ll happily use them if anyone asks, but really it’s just way too much fun to rip around on. It’s quick, responsive, and easy to handle. It also has enough power that I’d caution anyone against mistaking its compact size for a lack of performance.
It has its limitations, of course. It’s likely too small for many riders, its suspension could use a little more refinement, and the advertised battery range is probably optimistic for anyone who plans to ride it aggressively. But at around $1,900, I think there’s an awful lot to enjoy here.
The IN 10 Pro is a fun little electric dirt bike that’s also useful for getting around. I definitely made excuses to get it out, and made a few trips I didn’t actually need to make just for fun, and I don’t see much wrong with that. It’s nice to have an excuse to play for absolutely no reason at all these days.
