The best part of modifying a mobility scooter that can reach speeds of 69 MPH? Inventor Colin Furze:

“You can’t take your eyes off the road when driving it as any rash steering decisions could make it flip over and the slightest dip or bump in the road makes it drift off course.”

Furze, of England, spent three months fitting the scooter with a 125cc engine and five gears.
