In our racing motorcycle we used the Agni Lynch designed motor, as relatively high power weight with forklift type Kelly controller. This is an efficient package, although the racing stress on the motors caused us problems. I have looked at the ac options but there are significant variations in efficiency over the rev range --70% to 90% (not inc Controller eff). Cheers, Joe Isle of Man, British Isles. Hi Guys,

Come out and take a look some time. We will post some photographs soon. Peter Trev is looking a lot tidier since you last drove it. Come out and take a look some time.
