WHAT do we need? More power!
A British dad has created the world’s fastest pram, which is claimed to have a fairly unsafe top speed of 80km/h. Showing that you really shouldn’t leave your husband at home alone minding the baby, 33- year-old Colin Furze spent four weeks designing and making the speedy stroller, which is equipped with a 125cc motorbike engine. Controls, including the accelerator and hopefully some brakes, are fitted on the handlebars and the driver stands on two small wheeled platforms as pictured below. Fortunately Furze agrees that it’s too powerful to travel at top speed with his baby son. “It is really unstable when it goes at top speed and if you hit a rough bit in the road you are in danger of falling off, but so far I’ve managed not to crash.” He said he’s had lots of “envious looks” from other parents “especially when they are pushing their babies up hills.”
