IMPORTANT UPDATE April 17th – THE PACK Plaza has been canceled !!
In May of 2023, the first Motominds event was held at Kortrijk Xpo in Belgium. Created by and for motorcyclists, it offered a blend of bikes, entertainment, and lifestyle for riders, those aspiring to ride, culture enthusiasts, and non-riders alike. Attendees could purchase tickets that included unlimited test rides, which could be reserved through Motominds’ website.
4-5 May 2024 | Kortrijk XPO | Motominds – THE PACK Plaza
The PACK is currently investigating the potential for establishing their electric Plaza at Motominds 2024. This “hub” would showcase various brands of electric motorcycles and mopeds. As the topic of e-mobility gains popularity, Light Electric Vehicles (LEVs) offer a sustainable transportation option. Moreover, there is a growing demand for alternative modes of transportation among a new demographic.

One of the new additions to this edition in 2024 is an outdoor playground designated for electric off-road motorbikes, which is a rapidly growing category. Nearly every electric motorbike brand now offers a lightweight electric vehicle of this kind as part of their product line.
About THE PACK Plaza
This new pop-up exhibition, known as THE PACK Plaza, has the goal of increasing awareness among consumers, businesses, and industry experts about electric motorcycles and scooters.
Guy Salens | THE PACK: “In order for electric motorcycles to become widely accepted and used, consumers must be willing to make the investment of purchasing these vehicles. Factors such as cost, anxiety about battery range, accessibility of charging stations, or a preference for traditional gas-powered motorcycles may hinder their adoption. However, at THE PACK Plaza, potential buyers are able to directly engage with the manufacturer and experience test rides on these energy-efficient motorcycles, possibly reducing any concerns and encouraging greater adoption.”
“Participation in events like THE PACK Plaza is crucial for electric motorbike brands, especially for startups. It provides a platform for manufacturers to showcase their latest models and advancements in battery technology, electric drivetrains, connectivity solutions, and other components driving the industry forward. We understand that costs for Research & Development and homologation can be overwhelming, not to mention the logistics of finding sales and retail opportunities. However, our event attracts a diverse audience of investors, potential customers, and industry experts who all contribute to the growth and success of the electric mobility market.” says Guy.
