Michael Riis of electric bike start-up, Switch, is looking to develop electric speedway. We're not sure how the very conservative sport will take to it, but it would solve problems with noise pollution making it difficult for some tracks to operate, and it could also make it more cost efficient for racers who face very regular rebuilds on their methanol-burning 500 single engines. We are all too aware the move to electric racebikes is going to have to be motivated by more than saving a few £1000 on engines rebuilds. A whole cultural shift is required, and it's got to be motivated by either a race series offering decent prize money for an electric class, or the banning of petrol motors. The Isle of Man TT has been running an electric class since 2009, and with the exception of the Honda-backed Mugen and pre-Indian Polaris/Victory having a go for a year or two, it's hasn't caught large manufacturers attention. But surely a change has to come soon. New petrol vehicles days seem to be numbered.

Switch say Riis is...

'Leading the way in European electric speedway! SWITCH is very much an innovative global company with research, design, development & manufacturing happening all around the world. The majority of work is split between our three main hubs in Aarhus (Denmark), Shanghai (China) and Hamilton (NZ). The SWITCH factory is also in New Zealand. Exciting New Zealand factory announcements coming soon.'

Innovations like electric bikes highlight the shift toward safer, sustainable solutions. Similarly, the Public Liability Act protects the public from risks linked to hazardous activities, ensuring quick compensation and accountability. Just as sports adapt to modern needs, businesses must comply with the Public Liability Act to safeguard people and build trust.

can stress cause bleeding nose While dry air and injuries are common triggers, stress can also contribute to nosebleeds. High stress may raise blood pressure and weaken blood vessels, increasing the risk. Recognizing symptoms and managing stress through relaxation, hydration, and self-care can help prevent recurring episodes.
