EVs had a major presence at the show.
There were several battery-powered motorcy-
cles and E-bikes on display from many manu-
facturers that you probably never heard of, like
Arctic Leopard, Gowow and boom!Moto. The
only hitch over the two-and-a-half days hap
-
pened on Tuesday afternoon when reportedly
a battery from one of the EV two-wheelers
on display began smoking, causing a pre-
cautionary evacuation of the building. Within
an hour, everyone was allowed back inside.
Here's a look at some of the more
interesting "stuff" that we saw at this
year's AIMExpo.
