The electric dirt bike category is booming, with new manufacturers jumping into the growing segment every year. The cost and complexity of developing a viable internal combustion engine has given way to the simplicity of an electric motor, battery, controller, and some software to manage things. The chassis, suspension, brakes, and remaining parts are relatively simple to spec once the propulsion system is set, making entry into the market far easier than in the past. Thus, there are now multitudes of brands and models to choose from when shopping for an electric dirt bike or commuter, making things difficult for riders looking to get the best bang for their hard-earned dollar. However, one manufacturer, Yozma Sport, appears to have a leg up on much of the competition, as we can see when compared to their closest challengers.
Yozma’s IN 10 model electric dirt bike promises class-leading features and performance, courtesy of a powerful motor, high-capacity battery, and advanced chassis and suspension. Designed as an urban commuter or light off-roader, the Yozma IN 10 is an electric dirt bike for adults and teens. The mid-drive motor centralizes weight distribution, and dramatically reduces unsprung weight, enhancing suspension performance, while the 48-volt lithium battery is kept safe under lock and key to prevent theft.
The heart of the beast is the motor, which in the IN 10 is a brushless unit rated at 2600W peak power. This compares quite favorably to similar bikes like the Tuttio Soleil 01, which is rated at 2000W peak, or the Riding Times GT73, rated at 2400W peak. As a result, the IN 10 bests the Tuttio in top speed, and matches the lighter Riding Times’ terminal velocity. As is almost always the case, more power equals more smiles per mile, and the Yozma meets or beats the best out there.
The gas tank for electric dirt motorcycles bikes is the battery, and most use a variation of the lithium-ion like the one in the IN 10. Rated at 23.4Ah, the Yozma features a claimed range of between 35 to 53 miles (56 to 85 km), and charges in about 5 to 6 hours. The Tuttio’s 21Ah battery claims a shorter range of 35 to 43 miles (56 to 69 km), and a longer charging time of 6 to 7 hours, while the Riding Times’ 27Ah battery has a longer range of 62 miles (99 km), but quite a long charging time of 8.5 to 9 hours. With a charging time shorter than the other two, and a range that splits the difference, the Yozma does so with the most powerful motor of the trio, giving it the advantage when the points are tallied.
The IN 10’s controller, software, and display take the Yozma to the front of the pack, with a smart display featuring a split design, three-speed mode, and IPX6 waterproofing. The strong and light high-carbon steel frame is mated to a fully hydraulic suspension system front and rear, featuring a nitrogen-charged and adjustable rear shock. Hydraulic disk brakes provide strong and stable stopping power, while the 14” front and 12” rear wheels are mounted with fat, puncture- and wear-resistant knobby tires.
The final tally will often be swayed by price, yet those with experience know that ultimately, the least expensive is almost never the best buy. On paper, the Yozma matches the Tuttio on price, but the Tuttio loses out on range, power, and charging time. The Riding Times is often sold for less than the Yozma, but with a less powerful motor, and a much longer charging time, the Riding Times is slower to the line and off the line, which tends to leave it in the dust.
The emergence of the mini electric dirt bike has been a revelation for those looking for simple, inexpensive fun. With low maintenance, low noise, low cost of entry, the electric bike provides an environmentally friendly way to get out on the roads and trails. With the instant-on torque of electric motors providing power from zero RPM, more and more riders are discovering the joys of electric motoring, and Yozma IN 10 has found the sweet spot for the urban commuter/light off-roader that shoppers are looking for. Compared to the competition, Yozma has the holeshot. Visit the Yozma website or your local dealer for more information.
