That does sound cool. A lot less irritating than gas engines! How fast do these bikes go?

That guy around the 3:48 mark is pretty creepy though. Reminds me of the crypt keeper

The winning bike (Team Agni) did an average speed of 87.434 mph over the 37.7 mile course, while Thomas Schoenfelder on the XXL Racing Team entry clocked the highest speed through the Sulby speed trap of 106.5mph, the only rider to exceed 100mph, which is pretty bloody amazing given that this race (and these bikes) didn't even exist a year ago!

According to MCN:
Team Agni’s bike is a 2007 Suzuki GSXR 600 fitted with two Agni 95 Reinforced motors and Kokam lithium-polymer battery of 63 cells of 70AH each, totalling about 16 kilowatt-hours of energy. The team says the setup gives 40 to 50 horsepower averaged over the length of the race, which should be good for about 200 km/h (120 mph) top speed.

antonye cannot send this video to Beggar's Corner because antonye does not have enough Power Points - ignoring beg request by antonye. (You can always purchase more Power Points.)
