Experience two-wheel culture up close: new products, shows, accessories, and a meeting place for the scene Motorradwelt Bodensee is the big spring event for motorcycle fans, bikers, and technology enthusiasts from southern Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. With over 25,000 square meters of indoor and outdoor exhibition space, Messe Friedrichshafen offers a spectacular platform for everything that moves on two wheels – and everything that makes the hearts of true motorcycle fans beat faster. Manufacturers, accessory suppliers, clubs, and scene leaders present models, trends, and innovations related to motorcycles, scooters, e-bikes, and customizing. The whole thing is complemented by an action-packed supporting program that makes a visit to the trade fair a real experience – from stunt shows and test rides to the dealer mile.
The latest machines from renowned manufacturers take center stage at Motorradwelt. Whether naked bikes, enduros, choppers, tourers, sports bikes, or electric bikes – visitors can not only experience the latest models up close, but also get detailed advice. Brands such as BMW, Yamaha, Honda, Ducati, KTM, Harley-Davidson, Kawasaki, and many more will be showcasing their flagship bikes, accessory lines, and technical innovations for the coming season. Customizers and small manufacturers will also be bringing their creations – including converted cafe racers, scramblers, and concept bikes.
A unique feature of the fair is the large indoor and outdoor test area: motorcycles, scooters, and e-bikes can be test ridden on site—ideal for anyone preparing to make a purchase decision or wanting to get to know new vehicle classes. Specially designated courses, safety equipment, and experienced instructors ensure a safe riding experience. Driving schools, road safety initiatives, and training facilities are also on site – with offers for getting back on the road, cornering training, or driver's license advice.
Exhibitors showcase everything bikers need: helmets, jackets, protectors, gloves, boots, communication systems, bags, GPS devices, care products, and tools. For many visitors, browsing the accessories halls is one of the highlights – here they can test, compare, and often buy directly. In addition, tuning providers and technology professionals will be presenting everything that is crucial for chassis optimization, exhaust systems, LED lighting, and driving dynamics.
A special area is dedicated to custom bike building: elaborately converted motorcycles – whether in classic chopper style, as street trackers or retro bikes – show how closely motorcycle culture is linked to aesthetics and craftsmanship. Workshops, artists, and mechanics provide insight into their work, showcase materials, and explain their concepts. Shows and competitions such as the “Best Custom Bike” award bring the scene to the stage and promote exchange among creative minds.
On the show stage and in the outdoor area, stunt professionals deliver breathtaking shows: wheelies, burnouts, jumps, precision maneuvers – live in front of an audience and with moderated action. Trial and FMX demonstrations also thrill with pure adrenaline. Motorcycle World is also a community platform: clubs, forums, tour operators, magazines, and YouTubers are represented and exchange ideas with the audience. Whether it's tour planning, conversion assistance, or scene talk – personal contact is the focus. Anyone interested in other event formats in Friedrichshafen – from technology to travel to leisure – will find a comprehensive overview of the diverse regional trade fair offerings here at Messe Friedrichshafen.
A strong thematic block is dedicated to motorcycle tourism: tour operators, regions, hotels, and tour planners present motorcycle routes, events, biker meetings, and group offers. Whether Alpine passes, coastal roads, or off-road trails—this is where wanderlust is awakened. Providers give tips on travel planning, navigation, motorcycle transport, insurance, and bike rental abroad.
Alternative drive systems and new forms of mobility are also taking up more space: e-bikes, electric light vehicles, innovative charging systems, and hybrid concepts show that the motorcycle world is changing. The trade fair promotes discussion and technical dialogue – between classic combustion engine fans and forward thinkers.
The combination of exhibition, live program, test rides, shows, and community makes Motorradwelt Bodensee a unique event with a festival atmosphere. It combines enthusiasm for technology with lifestyle, individuality with safety, and scene with market. Further information can be found on the organizer's website: www.motorradwelt-bodensee.de
