Did anyone listen to The Rock today?
Apparently they are going to be attempting to make a mobility scooter travel around 120km/h.
A fella up in Auckland has already said he will supply the parts. Maybe it was a place in Papakura?
The some fella called Adam I think it was said he is keen to do the work himself, and then ride it too.
Obviously they are wanting to keep its mobility scooter look and not just convert into some kind of go kart type thing.
Should be interesting...

it is going to have a 250cc engine strapped in and will go around the 160kph mark. if so it is going to smash the previous world record.
there seems to be a world record for anything these days...

And it will be driven by a 90 year old too?

For whom the bell tolls
There was a pretty nasty looking mobility scooter at Wanganui which had a decent sized motor in it. Looked like a 250 or 400/500cc at most.

where opinion holds more weight than fact.
It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

The idea is cool.
If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

That one at Wanganui had a GN250 engine. Some should build one with a Busa engine.
