Colin Furze set the record last Thursday by reaching 115km/h on a converted mobility scooter.

It wasn’t stock standard of course. Furze spent three months upgrading the machine, adding a 125cc motorbike engine that allows it to scream past your average footpath dawdler.

He was told by the Guinness Book of Records officials that he would qualify as long as the revised result still looked like a mobility scooter and used the same wheels.

With the world’s love of going faster in any vehicle – combined with an obsession for bizarre record-breaking – expect to see a challenge soon.
