Speeding Shopping Trolley

We’ve all been in supermarkets pretending to speed around the isles with the shopping trolley, haven’t we? Or is that just us?

Whatever your answer to that question, Matt McKeown has taken that idea to the next level by riding on the back of a shopping trolley at a record 44mph. Although the Guinness book of records still need to validate the impressive feet.

This shopping trolley was motorised and modified to use go cart wheels with the idea to reach 60mph!

Do you fancy trying to beat this speed or are you happy to just stick to the whizzing down the frozen section?
