EICMA 2026, l’elettrico si prova: ten exhibition halls for the biggest edition ever
From November 3 to 8, EICMA returns to Fiera Milano Rho. The 2026 edition will be the largest ever held: ten exhibition halls, over 2,100 brands, and more space dedicated to urban mobility, test rides, and new technologies.
EICMA continues to grow. The 83rd edition of the International Two-Wheeler Exhibition, scheduled from November 3 to 8, 2026, at Fiera Milano Rho, will occupy ten exhibition halls for the first time—one more than last year.
In total, there will be over 300,000 square meters, including outdoor areas, with 754 exhibitors and 2,120 brands from 52 countries. In fact, 74% of the brands represented are from abroad.
These are significant numbers, but for those focused on the transformation of mobility, it will be particularly interesting to see how much space electrification, new urban vehicles, and emerging technologies will occupy this year.
Electric scooters to try out in the Y.U.M. area.
One of the most interesting spots will once again be Y.U.M. – Your Urban Mobility, the area dedicated to urban mobility.
Over 8,000 square meters will offer the chance to test electric scooters and other vehicles designed for city commuting. There will be more than 40 models provided by ten exhibitors, including both electric and internal combustion engine options.
This is particularly interesting for electric vehicles. While range, power, and battery capacity can be found on technical specifications, for scooters and urban vehicles, maneuverability, performance, and ease of use are equally important. Being able to test them outside the booths allows for a more practical comparison between options that might seem very similar on paper alone.
EICMA has not yet revealed which electric models will be available for test rides, but the Y.U.M. area will be one of the spots to keep an eye on.
Start-ups and new technologies for mobility
Another interesting green-focused area will be the one dedicated to start-ups, located in Pavilion 18 and organized with support from ICE.
The goal is to bring together young companies working on technologies, services, and solutions related to the transformation of mobility.
It is often in these areas, away from the booths of major manufacturers, that at EICMA new batteries, charging systems, components, software, digital services, and innovative approaches to light mobility emerge. Therefore, it will be one of the areas to observe in order to understand which technologies might make their way to motorcycles, scooters, and e-bikes in the coming years.
The “green” component will also cover access to the event. EICMA has confirmed a dedicated plan for public transportation and intermodal transport developed in collaboration with ATM, the Municipality of Milan, and Trenord, with the stated goal of reducing traffic around the fair and encouraging alternative solutions to private cars. From November 6 to 8, approximately 15,000 free parking spaces will also be available, mostly in interchange parks connected to the subway network.
MotoGP, Dakar, and MotoLive: the rest of the program
In addition to new products, the spectacular elements remain a key focus. At Pavilion 22, Speed Legends will make its debut—a roughly 1,000 square meter exhibition dedicated to the history of MotoGP’s flagship class, featuring over 30 historic motorcycles and the five MotoGP bikes set to compete in the 2026 season. A space dedicated to the Dakar Rally will also return in the same pavilion.
In the outdoor area, more than 60,000 square meters will be reserved for MotoLive, offering competitions, freestyle events, trial sessions, test rides, and entertainment. Among the announced guests are Toni Bou, Troy Bayliss, Marco Melandri, Stefan Everts, and other motorcycle racing champions.
EICMA Adventouring is back as well, the area dedicated to motorcycling tourism and events from the FMI Adventure Series.
EICMA 2026: dates, times, and tickets
The days of November 3 and 4 will be reserved for the press and industry professionals. From November 5 to 8, the exhibition will be open to the public from 9:30 to 18:30.
The full-price ticket available in advance costs 20 euros, plus 1.50 euros in handling fees; at the ticket booths, the price rises to 25 euros. An afternoon ticket, valid from 13:30, is also available online for 14 euros plus handling fees.
The 2026 edition thus appears to be the largest EICMA ever held in Rho. To determine just how electric it will truly be, however, we’ll have to wait for announcements from manufacturers: with new motorcycles and scooters, urban mobility solutions, and startups, there are plenty of promising signs.
