Since its launch, THE PACK has been a proud media sponsor of Reload.Land, and the 2026 edition is shaping up to be the most ambitious one yet. Europe’s festival for electric motorcycles is moving to a new home: the iconic Tempelhof Airport in Berlin, where it will take place as an official partner of the ABB FIA Formula E Hankook Berlin E-Prix on May 2–3, 2026.

The move is more than a change of scenery. For the first time, Reload.Land will be embedded directly within the Fan Village of a Formula E race weekend, meaning the fastest electric race cars on the planet and the most exciting electric two-wheelers in Europe will share the same airfield. It’s a collision of motorsport, design, and electric mobility culture that feels both inevitable and genuinely exciting.
Ride before you decide
The festival’s core promise remains intact: you can actually ride the bikes. Test rides on the latest electric motorcycles, mopeds, and scooters are available across both days of the event, not just a static display, but a proper hands-on experience with machines from manufacturers, startups, and independent designers from across Europe.

European and world premieres, prototypes, and concept bikes will also feature heavily. This is the kind of show where you’re likely to see something you’ve never seen before, and where the people who built it are usually standing right next to it.
Talks, ideas and radical machines
Alongside the rides, Reload.Land runs a conference programme: panel talks and discussions with developers, designers, and mobility thinkers exploring where electric two-wheel transport is heading, technically, culturally, and practically.

A standout of the art programme is the Panzer sound system by Berlin-based artist Nik Nowak, a mobile sound installation that has toured internationally across festivals and museums. It’s a fitting centrepiece for a festival that has always treated electric mobility as a cultural subject, not just a technology story.

The Silent Ride returns
Saturday evening, May 2nd, sees the return of the Reload.Land Silent Ride, an open group ride through the streets of Berlin for electric motorcycles, mopeds, and scooters. Over the past few years this collective ride has become one of the most recognisable community events in the European electric motorcycle scene: no noise, no fuss, just a convoy of zero-emission machines moving through the city. The evening wraps up with the official Reload.Land Afterparty back at the venue.

One ticket, two events
Entry to Reload.Land also grants access to the Formula E Fan Village, which is a remarkable deal at €10. Whether you’re there for the bikes, the race, the talks, or the ride, the weekend at Tempelhof looks like one of the best-value days out on the 2026 electric motorsport calendar.
