Brunel X-team is a recently established initiative at the School of Engineering and Design at Brunel University. The Team is headed by a group of four final year engineering students whose goal is to design an electric powered motorcycle to enter the inaugural Isle of Man TTXGP (Time Trials Xtreme Grand Prix) competition taking place on 12th June 2009.

I don't under stand this part about the batt pack...
"Lithium-ion cells in bespoke and adjustable arrangement"
The bespoke I know but that adjustable part.....Can these guys rewire cells on the fly? For higher top speed after you get to speed? I love the AGNI motor. Seems to have a good amount of respect. I'm thinking of doing this motor on my Zero for the higher rpm.
