Kevin Nicks, who is from Oxfordshire, made the 200-mile journey to Elvington Airfield to break the records for the world’s longest mobility scooter. Businessman Mr Nicks also found time to set a world record for fastest average speed on a motorised BMX while at the Straighliners Records event, with 54mph.

But the record for the world’s longest mobility scooter was also smashed by Mr Nicks, who came up with the idea because he runs a mobility scooter business.

He said: “There was already a Guinness record, of 10ft two inches. I thought I could probably build something longer than that because I’ve got a mobility scooter business. So, I built this one and its 22ft three inches long. There’s speed record. The criteria Guinness set you is that it has to be driven as a standard mobility scooter, so for a road one that’s eight miles an hour.

The Creator of the World's Fastest Shed, Kevin Nicks, form Oxfordshire, has set another new Guinness world record (GWR) record for riding the longest mobility scooter over 22ft 3 inches long at the Straightliners automotive records event held at Elvington Airfield, Yorkshire.

"It’s basically a standard mobility scooter, but just lengthened. When you make something this long, there’s lots of problems come in to stop it sagging in the middle and you’ve got to be able to transport it as well.”

Mr Nicks, who had to drive 100m on the mobility scooter along the runway at Elvington to break the record, said he had been “riding around on it all weekend having fun” and said it drives “perfectly”.
