The fastest motorized perambulator or ‘pram’ achieved a top speed of 53.46 mph (86.04 km/h), was built by Colin Furze (UK) and tested at Shakespeare County Raceway in Stratford-upon-Avon, UK, on 14 October 2012.
The pram uses a motorcycle engine and features a small platform for the driver to stand on when in motion. Colin successfully demonstrated a ‘burnout’ (producing smoke from the tyres by running the engine while stationary) on the drag strip before his successful attempt.
