Team Agni
 Team Agni’s Cedric Lynch built his first electric
competition bike (mostly made from plywood) in 1981. This was a
feet-forward design to minimise the frontal area and increase
aerodynamics, an essential given primitive battery technology available
at the time .
Arvind Rabadia, lead spokesperson for Team Agni, has competed in a
number of electric vehicle races between 1984 and 1991 and was the
winner of the lightweight vehicles category in the competition held in
October 1991 in Strasbourg, Mulhouse and Colmar in France, using a
feet-forward bike specially built for the competition.
Riding for Team Agni will be Robert "Bullet" Barber.

Technical specifications:
For the TTXGP Team Agni is converting a 2007 Suzuki GSXR 600 fitted
with two Agni 95 Reinforced motors and Kokam lithium-polymer battery of
63 cells of 70AH each, total about 16 kilowatt-hours of energy. This
will give 40 to 50 horsepower averaged over the length of the race,
which should be good for a 120MPH top speed.
