A racetrack in rural Wales, the Anglesey Trac Môn Circuit, just became the first in the United Kingdom to ban electric vehicles. More important, at least to this column, is that Anglesey’s ban will also include battery-powered motorcycles, but also hybrids like the new Ninja 7 Kawasaki is bringing to market. Although the track has released no specific reason for the new dictum, the problem would seem to be safety, namely that battery-powered vehicles could pose a fire risk that small tracks, like Anglesey, are unwilling to accept.
