After delivering 90,000+ eBike demo rides in 2025 and reaching 600,000 attendees in its first 4 years, Electrify Expo is expanding for 2026. “Electrify Expo proved that people don’t just want to look at the future — they want to experience it,” explains founder BJ Birtwell. “Demo Days takes that award-winning, hands-on festival and expands it into the largest demo event in North America. From EVs & hybrids to gas-powered vehicles & powersports, Demo Days offers the ultimate ride, drive, and demo experience for the whole crew to enjoy.”
Although EVs galvanized the early events, Birtwell felt there was a need not being met. “One question kept coming up: what would it look like if we took this same model and opened it to everything? Not just EVs. Every powertrain, every vehicle, every category. Gas and electric side-by-sides. ICE Motorcycles next to eMotos. Trucks on dirt next to UTVs on dirt. Car culture, aftermarket, solar, autonomous driving, robotics and micromobility, all in one place. Let people experience everything back to back and decide for themselves.”
That’s Demo Days. Same playbook that built Electrify Expo. Now open to everything with a motor. Electrify Expo lives inside as the dedicated electric experience, still doing what it’s always done: letting the products speak for themselves, but on a much bigger stage as this shocking pivot from ebikes to ICE opens the doors for UTV demos and powersports dealers as well as the IBDs to participate.
For 2026, Demo Days Festival will be North America’s largest outdoor demo festival hitting 8 cities, offering hundreds of vehicles and purpose-built courses where you actually drive, ride and experience everything. From the Adventure Track UTV & Dirtbike Zone to the Motorcycle Demo District it is all outdoors. Every demo included. “What no website can fully explain is the feeling. The look on your kid’s face on the go-kart. The stranger in line who becomes someone you’re still texting two months later. That’s what we built. We just used vehicles to get there,” concludes Birtwell.
