IFA Berlin 2026 Recap: Five Days at KEPOW Booth CCBB_156

A look back at our week at Messe Berlin — the crowds, the test rides, and the electric luggage that stole the show.

IFA Berlin 2026 is over. From September 4–8 we were at Messe Berlin, at Booth CCBB_156 — five days of meeting riders, retailers and distributors from all over Europe.

Here's what the week looked like from where we were standing.

Five days, and the booth never really emptied

If there's one thing we'll take away from IFA 2026, it's the constant stream of people at CCBB_156. The stand was busy from the moment the halls opened, and it stayed that way right up to the last afternoon.

What surprised us most wasn't the footfall — it was how many visitors already knew KEPOW. People walked straight up to the stand to talk about the scooter they'd been riding for months, ask what's coming next, or finally see the line-up in person after hearing about it from a friend. Some had never tried one before and simply wanted to know what the fuss was about.

Either way, "POWER YOUR URBAN ADVENTURE" wasn't a tagline we had to explain. Most people were already on board with the idea.

Test rides instead of spec sheets

Specs on paper only tell half the story — so we didn't rely on them. Visitors were invited to throw a leg over and ride, and plenty of them did, right there at the booth.

That's the part of a trade show you can't replicate online: watching someone step on for the first time, roll away, and come back grinning. A few went from "just looking" to a full lap around the stand in under a minute.

The electric luggage everyone asked about

Every show has one object nobody planned to fall for. At IFA 2026, it was our luggage.

The electric luggage sat on the counter next to the scooters — and it pulled in almost as much attention as the scooters themselves. Visitors picked it up, rolled it around, and asked the same question: you can actually ride this?

Turns out the idea of riding to the gate instead of dragging a suitcase through an airport terminal needs very little explaining. It's one of those things people understand the second they see it move.

Recruiting distributors — the conversations behind the booth

Our booth wall said it plainly: Recruiting distributors! A big part of the week was spent on exactly that.

Retailers and distributors came by to talk about the European market — dealer programs, B2B pricing, marketing support, after-sales service and on-site partner offers for those ready to move at the show. Those conversations are the real reason we come to Berlin. Trade shows are where the European mobility channel meets, and IFA 2026 was no exception.

If you're a retailer or distributor and we didn't get to finish the conversation, we'd love to pick it up. Reach out through kepow.net.

Thank you, Berlin

Five days went by faster than expected. Thank you to everyone who stopped by CCBB_156 — the riders who took a test ride, the retailers who came to talk business, the passers-by who stopped because something caught their eye, and our friends.

Berlin, you were brilliant. See you next time.
