There are a few crazy drivers in the world, who always trying to set world records. They are crazy enough to conquer the all circumstances and break the all “walls” to beat themselves, to beat the speed limits, and change this world. It motivates and inspires millions of us. With a WING Dubai Scooter Sharing team we have found four the craziest scooter world records.

809 km on the Scooter HONDA TODAY 50cc in 24 hours

The Australian division of Honda reported that Australian Julio Languviller (Julio Languiller) set a new world record: in 24 hours, he drove a scooter Honda Today with a 50cc engine for 809 kilometers. He started his record race in the morning in Melbourne on a scooter Honda Today 50cc and 24 hours later with a smile on his face came to the agreed place — Dockland, Melbourne.

“I feel a little tired,” Julio said. “It was especially difficult to withstand the cold from 2 to 4 a.m., but I’m very happy”

Julio decided to set a world record on the scooter to support the leading independent medical charity fund Doctors Without Borders. Honda Australia provided Julio with a scooter, moto equipment and a team of technicians who served the scooter in the stops.

Technical support was provided by Greg Snart (Greg Snart), national service manager for Honda. He said that Julio drove 809 km on a 50-kilometer car in 24 hours, and the average fuel consumption / mileage was 32.36 km per liter.

New World Speed Records On Scooters

Six Scooter World Speed Records were achieved at the famous Bonneville Salt Flats, in Utah, USA. The Benelli model 491 scooter with custom graphics by Aldo Drudi, was carefully prepared by Bologna-based performance company, Malossi, using their 50, 85 and 100cc RC-one engine configurations further enhanced by famous two-stroke guru, Jörg Möller.

The passionate mastermind behind the “Bologna to Bonneville” project, Engineer Fabio Fazi, rode the Malossi-powered Benelli scooter to the first two records achieved August 27, 2017 in the 50cc category. Fazi, who is an FIM Bureaux Technical Commission member and a proud affiliate of the Moto Club Benelli, reached a top speed of 114.823 km/h (71.347 mph) across 1 kilometer and 71.294 mph (114.737 km/h) across 1 mile, both speeds representing an average of two runs in both directions.

“I had been to Bonneville just as a spectator, but as a participant you learn how to know the hardships,” said Fabio Fazi. “I am very happy to have personally achieved the record in the 50cc category. The scooter performed great and now, after the victory, we only look forward to returning with the same machine to beat our own record.”

The next four World Records were set on 30 August, by former World and Italian Superbike rider and now Sky Italia MotoGP™ Commentator, Mauro Sanchini. While Sanchini flew direct to the USA from his commentary box at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, England, Malossi technicians prepared the 85 and 100cc engines ready for the Italian’s arrival. Sanchini, who started his career racing scooters for Malossi in the 1990s, made an emotional return to Malossi to set four World Records with a speed of 133.002 km/h (82.643 mph) across 1 kilometer and 82.436 mph (132.668 km/h) across 1 mile for the 85cc and 142.088 km/h (88.289 mph) and 88.181 mph (141.914 km/h) respectively for the 100cc scooters.

The longest scooter in the world can carry 25 people

The British plumber built the longest scooter in the world, having a length of 22 meters. And all this for the sake of getting into the Guinness Book of Records. To create a monster, Colin Fears of Lincolnshire, England, cut a 125cc scooter, joining the halves of an aluminum expanded frame and installing seating for it for 25 passengers.

The Guinness Book’s current record holds behind a scooter of 14 meters in length. To lawfully beat the record, Ferz had to drive 100 meters, but, according to the British daily Daily Mail, he drove more than 160 miles (56 miles per hour).

“When I first invented such a scooter, I thought that he would never be able to drive, because at a slow speed it’s almost impossible to hold it upright,” Ferz told reporters. “But as soon as you go, it’s getting much easier, although there’s a real load on the hands, because the steering wheel becomes too heavy”

Ferz said he will send a video, as well as a statement signed by witnesses to the Guinness Book of Records, to confirm his record. “This bike was so hard and hard to control that I think it’s impossible to make a bigger scooter. I think this record will hold on for a long time,” he added.

Mobile scooter beat record speed

The idea of making a mobile scooter for retired racing cars came up with two mechanics, David Anderson and Matthew Hin, who live on the British Isle of Man.

As a result, the racing mobile scooter showed an excellent result: at a quarter mile (400 m), it developed a speed of 108 miles per hour (174 km / h). The original apparatus and its engineers, David Anderson and Matthew Hin, got in the Book Guinness World Records.
