The Villain is the bigger, faster bike: 4,160 W mid-drive, 45 mph, a removable 52V 26Ah pack and an app-tunable FarDriver controller, rated for riders to 6'1". The IN 10 answers with a $1,079 price, the lowest seat in our line-up at 28 in, and a top speed you can cap at 28 mph for a first season. Buy the IN 10 for a rider under about 5'11" or the tightest budget; buy the Villain, from $1,299, for a teen or adult who will keep it for years.
We sell both bikes, as an authorized Yozma dealer and an authorized Heybike dealer, so this is the comparison we give on the phone when a buyer has narrowed it to these two. Every number below comes from the two product pages on this store.
How do the Yozma IN 10 and Heybike Villain compare on paper?
The Villain is the bigger bike in every column that measures output: 4,160 W peak against 2,600 W, 190 N·m against 146 N·m, 45 mph against 40, and a 1,352 Wh removable pack against about 1,120 Wh. The IN 10 wins on price and on being the smaller, lower machine.

Where a cell says "not listed" the spec is simply not on that bike's page, and we would rather leave a blank than guess. Both bikes ship free.
Which is faster, the IN 10 or the Villain?
The Villain, at 45 mph to the IN 10's 40, and it gets there with 60% more peak power. Both bikes let you cap that: the IN 10's top speed is selectable between 28 and 40 mph, and the Villain runs three modes at 20, 38 and 45 mph, tunable further through the FarDriver app. For a rider in their first season the difference is not the top number, it is that both bikes can be turned down and opened up later. Read how fast electric dirt bikes actually go for why your GPS will disagree with either sheet.
Which fits a smaller rider?
The IN 10. Its 28 in seat is the lowest in our line-up, and Yozma rates it for riders from 3'11" to 5'11". Heybike also starts the Villain at 3'11", but the rating runs to 6'1", and in practice the Villain is the one to buy for a teen or an adult who will keep the bike for years. Both carry a 265 lb maximum load. Over about 5'11" the IN 10 is outgrown, and the answer is a Yozma IN 10 Pro rather than a taller seat on the IN 10 frame.
Which battery is better?
The Villain's, by about 230 Wh, and it lifts out of the frame, so it charges indoors and a spare can be swapped on a long day. The IN 10's rated range is actually a little longer (up to 53 miles against 50) because 2,600 W drains a pack more slowly than 4,160 W does. Both figures are best-case; the range math guide explains how hard throttle eats them.
What does the extra $220 to $320 buy on the Villain?
A mid-drive with 190 N·m instead of 146, an app-tunable FarDriver controller for throttle response and power ramp, a removable pack, a magnetic kill switch that cuts power when the rider comes off, a start lockout, reverse assist, and a frame rated to 6'1". The IN 10's case is that its hardware is already unusually good for $1,079, with hydraulic discs at both ends, a hydraulic fork, a nitrogen rear shock and an IPX6 rating, and the money you keep covers a real helmet and gloves.
Which has better parts support?
Both are first-class platforms in our catalog. The IN10 and VLLN collections each carry more than 45 fitment-tagged parts, and GUTS Racing cuts made-in-USA seat covers for both: the Yozma IN 10 seat and the Heybike Villain seat. The Villain also has a dedicated first-five-upgrades guide.
- Buy the IN 10 for a rider under about 5'11", a first season, or the tightest budget: $1,079, 28 in seat, 28–40 mph selectable.
- Buy the Villain for a teen or adult who will keep it: 4,160 W mid-drive, 45 mph, removable 52V pack, app-tunable controller, from $1,299.
- Both are off-road only, both ship free, both carry a one-year manufacturer warranty, and both have deep parts shelves on this store.
Neither bike is street legal. No pedals, no lighting package, no turn signals. Ride on private property, OHV parks and trails that allow off-road vehicles, in a full-face helmet and gloves. Check your state and local rules before the first ride.
