The second edition of 'Reload Land' took place at Craftwerk in June. Over 30 exhibitors from all over Europe presented everything that is already available on the market for battery-powered vehicles or will soon be available.

From world premieres such as 'Stilride' to wild custom motorbikes, everything was represented.

A special highlight, as every year, were the test rides on the grounds and on the road, because everyone should have tried out an electric bike before making a judgement. The children on the Kidstrack definitely had the time of their lives. 

Not all electric bikes are the same! The big brands such as Energica, BMW, Livewire and Zero Motorcycles, as well as the 'new kids on the block' such as Brekr and Black Tea Motorbikes, to name just a few examples, presented themselves and invited visitors to test them out.

Anyone who was there will hardly have recognised the Craftwerk from the inside.

Over 15 unique pieces from all over the world were exhibited, accompanied by a breathtaking sound and light installation.

On the stage in the workshop, James Hollis hosted several panel talks with designers, engineers and experts from the automotive industry from Mobile.deone of the festival's major supporters.

On Saturday evening, things got quiet on the streets of Berlin. The second Silent Ride took over 70 electric bikes along the sights back to the Craftwerk. Definitely one of the most fun highlights of the weekend.

Mark the weekend of 1 to 2 June 2024 in your diary, because Reload Land is returning to the Craftwerk for its third edition.

We would like to thank all exhibitors, helpers, supporters, partners, sponsors and all visitors for the great atmosphere and look forward to presenting an even wider range of motorbikes, scooters and sports bikes this year!

Spread The Volt!

Whatever tomorrow brings.
