London: The British engineer thought why not make the trash lying in one place moveable. Now they have created a wheeled garbage can that can run at a speed of 88 km per hour.
Michael Wallhead, 31, bought a wheelie bin from Facebook Marketplace for just $25 and set out to transform it. They pooled the money and installed a $900 Suzuki GP 125 engine. In addition to the two-stroke engine, they installed magnesium go-kart wheels. Then designed the entire system structure and chassis. After that, an additional wheel was installed at the front.
After installing the spinning wheel, he sat in the trash and made a video of it running which is becoming very popular. The interesting comments on this video continue but now they have also contacted the Guinness Book of World Records.
Earlier in May 2021, another person, Andy Jennings, also set a record by putting a motor on a garbage can and driving it for 72 km.
In response, Michael set a new record of 55 mph (88 km/h) by sitting in a litter box at Ellington Airport in North Yorkshire.
Now the Guinness Book of World Records will confirm this claim.
