Man builds 70 mph mobility scooter
From: Orange News (UK) - 10/14/2010

A Lincolsnire plumber has built the fastest mobility scooter in the world -
which whizzes along at an incredible 69 mph. 

Colin Furze, 31, spent nearly three months converting the machine which has a
powerful 125cc motorbike engine hidden under the seat, five gears, and twin
exhausts. 

The petrol-powered super scooter, which is British racing green, can almost
reach the national speed limit and keep up with cars on the motorway. 

It does 10 miles to the gallon and is nearly nine times faster than an
average mobility scooter which glides along at just 8 mph.
