Electric Dirt Bike Road Legal UK: The Ultimate Guide to Off Road Riding

Electric dirt bikes come in a wide range of designs, and each model can offer a different riding experience depending on its frame, wheel setup, suspension and intended environment.

The Yozma IN 10 electric dirt bike has been developed with recreational off road riding in mind. Its compact 14/12 inch wheel setup, hydraulic suspension, heavy duty hydraulic brakes and high carbon steel frame make it well suited to private tracks, practice areas and other permitted off road spaces.

For UK riders, it is useful to understand how an electric dirt bike differs from an EAPC and to check where riding is permitted before choosing a location.

Are Electric Dirt Bikes Road Legal in the UK?

In Great Britain, electric bicycles that meet the current requirements for an electrically assisted pedal cycle, or EAPC, are treated in much the same way as conventional pedal cycles. An electric dirt bike does not automatically fall into that category simply because it uses a battery.

The Yozma IN 10 is supplied as an off road model rather than a road registered model. It is designed for suitable private land and authorised riding venues.

You can check the latest requirements on the GOV.UK electric bike rules page. Riders in Northern Ireland should also check the latest guidance on the nidirect electric bike page.

Where Can You Ride the Yozma IN 10?

The IN 10 is best enjoyed on private land that is not open to the public, with permission from the landowner or occupier, or at an off road venue that accepts this type of bike.

Suitable riding spaces may include:

• A private dirt bike track
• A farm or field where riding has been approved
• A controlled practice area on your own land
• An authorised off road riding venue

An empty field, woodland path or car park is not automatically a permitted riding area. Check access and obtain permission before unloading the bike.

Meet the Yozma IN 10

The IN 10 is a compact electric dirt bike for riders aged 16 and over. It combines smaller dimensions with genuine dirt bike components, making it easier to approach than a full size machine while still being equipped for grass, dirt and uneven private tracks.

Its electric drive also removes several parts of the petrol bike routine. There is no fuel to store, no engine oil schedule and no warm up before a session. Charge the battery, complete the usual bike checks and the IN 10 is ready for the riding area.

Compact 14/12 Inch Wheel Setup

The 14/12 inch wheel setup gives the IN 10 its compact proportions. A seat height of 72cm creates an approachable riding position, while 23cm of ground clearance leaves space beneath the frame when crossing grass, shallow ruts and uneven ground.

The bike measures 168cm in total length and weighs 55kg. These dimensions make rider fit important: the rider should be able to reach the controls comfortably, support the bike when stationary and move their body without feeling cramped.

Hydraulic Front Suspension and Rear Nitrogen Shock

Off road ground is rarely smooth, so the suspension matters as much as the bike’s dimensions. The IN 10 uses hydraulic suspension at the front and a nitrogen shock absorber at the rear.

Together, they are designed to absorb repeated bumps and help the tyres stay connected to the ground over changing surfaces. This gives the rider a more settled platform when practising turns, crossing rough patches or moving between flat and uneven sections of a track.

Heavy Duty Hydraulic Brakes

The IN 10 is fitted with heavy duty hydraulic brakes, giving the rider direct control when slowing for a corner, approaching an obstacle or bringing the bike to a stop.

Good braking technique is especially important for new off road riders. Begin in an open practice area and learn how the bike responds before moving onto tighter routes or more demanding ground.

High Carbon Steel Frame and Chain Drive

A high carbon steel frame forms the main structure of the IN 10. The bike also uses a chain drive with a heavy duty 420 chain, following a familiar dirt bike layout that suits regular inspection and off road use.

Before each session, check the chain condition and tension along with the tyres, brakes and suspension. Mud and debris should be cleaned away after riding rather than being left to dry around moving parts.

Three Selectable Riding Modes

The IN 10 includes three selectable riding modes. Riders can choose a more manageable setting while learning the controls, then change the mode to suit their confidence, terrain and riding style.

An LCD display provides a clear place to view the bike’s basic riding information. The controls remain simple, allowing the rider to concentrate on braking points, steering and body position.

48V 23.4Ah Battery

The IN 10 uses a 48V 23.4Ah lithium ion battery and comes with a 48V 5A charger. A full charge typically takes around five to six hours.

The claimed riding range is up to 85km. Actual distance will vary with rider weight, terrain, temperature, riding mode and the condition of the bike.

This gives owners enough flexibility to plan practice sessions, track time and recreational riding without adding petrol stops or engine preparation to the day.

Yozma IN 10 Specifications at a Glance

Is the Yozma IN 10 the Right Size for You?

The recommended rider height is 120cm to 180cm, with a maximum load of 120kg. These figures provide a useful starting point, but height and weight alone do not determine whether a dirt bike fits.

The rider should be able to sit securely, reach both handlebars without stretching and operate the controls comfortably. They should also be able to support the bike when stationary and move their body during turns.

For a rider with limited experience, begin on level ground and use a manageable riding mode. Familiarity with stopping, turning and controlling the bike should come before riding on rougher terrain.
