World's Fastest Mobility Scooter! Speed Record! 107mph!1/4 Mile

Hi my name is David Anderson and this is Matthew Hine. Hello We are from Anderson's Bodyshop and we are here today to take on a World Record for the fastest mobility scooter in the world with our mobility scooter, which you see here in front of you. Myself and Matt built the scooter from scratch, the specifications are… It's a 600 Bandit, slightly modified, shorter sump, split exhausts, tuned carburettors and basically fitted into a mobility scooter. The frame was a go kart chassis, shortened and lengthened to fit into the scale of a mobility scooter, and Dave built the bodywork The bodywork is all aluminium and everything works on it as well, such as the lights, the indicators, the brake lights, even the horn works….everything works on it. We were trying to get it road registered, but it has no front brakes so we don't think we'll get it on the road. I testing we've achieved 107.3 mph in 12.305 seconds so we think we should be able to take on the World Record today which currently stands at 82mph by Klaus Petersson from Denmark. We've done a few modifications for today…we've changed the gearing so hopefully we'll hit around 110 mph. Well that's the plan! Well that's it, we have done 4 or 5 runs now and we have achieved 107.6 mph which is an unofficial new World Record, we just have to wait for Guinness Records to confirm everything for us. How did it go? It's pretty good out there…stable…the weather conditions are starting to get a bit cloudy now but before they were perfect. The scooter seems to be going fine. We have just come in now, doing a few changes…change some wheels, take some bodywork off to try and make it a bit lighter, but some different fuel in it and see how we go for the rest of the day.
