A British plumber has built what he claims to be the world’s longest scooter measuring an astonishing 22 meters or 72.2 feet in length, and all for the sake of getting into the Guinness Book of World Records.
To create the monster scooter, Colin Furze of Lincolnshire, England, connected the front and rear ends of two 125cc mopeds to an extended aluminum frame adding enough seating in between for 25 passengers.
The current Guinness Book of World Records for the longest scooter is said to stand at 14 meters or about 46 feet. To make the record legit, Furze had to ride the scooter for 100 meters (328 feet), but according to British newspaper the Daily Mail, he managed to drive for over a mile reaching a top speed of 35mph (56 km/h).
“When I first got on it I thought it would never work and at a slow speed it’s almost impossible to keep upright,” Fruze told the news outlet. “But once you get going it becomes a bit easier, although it is a real strain on your arms as it has such heavy steering.
Fruze said he will send videos as well as signed witness statements to Guinness World of Records to verify his feat .
“This motorbike was so heavy and difficult to drive I think it would be impossible to make a longer bike. I think this record will stand for a very long time,” he added.
