A man who built the longest-ever mobility scooter and the fastest shed has now unveiled his latest creation - a motorised wheelie bin.<br /><br />Multiple world-record holder Kevin Nicks, 58, has converted his refuse container into a mode of transport - and made it fully road worthy.<br /><br />The serial world record holder says it is now the only wheelie bin in the world that is taxed.<br /><br />Kevin said it was the latest in his list of quirky builds that includes not only the world record-holding shed but also the world's fastest wheelbarrow, that travels up to a speed of 53.85mph.<br /><br />He has also made the world's fastest motorised BMX bike and the world's longest mobility scooter, measuring six metres (22 feet).<br /><br />The self-employed designer and builder said his new motorised domestic blue road legal wheelie bin was legal to drive on the road - but he hadn't ventured out on it yet.<br /><br />Kevin, of Great Rollright, Oxfordshire, said: "It's based on a mobility scooter but at the moment it's the only wheelie bin in the world that's taxed. It's got an electric motor because I'm very green even though it's blue.<br /><br />"I can go on the road but I'm not sure what the police would make of it. Mostly I take it on a trailer.<br /><br />"It's just a bit of fun. It makes people smile."<br /><br />Kevin started a mobility scooter repair business doing sales and repairs but his interest in engineering started many years ago with Lego.<br /><br />"I've always built things," he added. "Have I got a piece of paper saying I'm an engineer, no. But have I built things no one else has ever done before, yes I have."<br /><br />He likes to cruise around on his world's longest scooter with its 'Long Vehicle' sticker at the back, and takes the shed to cheer people up in care homes and schools.<br /><br />However, Kevin said that people don't always see the funny side.<br /><br />He said: "What is fascinating though is that when you post something on social media the negative people come out of the woodwork.<br /><br />"I have a big following and I try to reply to them all but those people I shower them with kindness.<br /><br />"I'm often asked what I do it for - it's for fun.<br /><br />"I like doing things that are different, I have the shed, the wheelie bin and the wheelbarrow which is just insane.<br /><br />"Rather than doing the same thing, I am trying to build different machines.<br /><br />"I did the worlds longest mobility scooter which is a bit of fun."<br /><br />Kevin hit the headlines last year when he revealed the world's longest-ever mobility scooter which measured 6m (22ft) - as long as an elephant.<br /><br />He added: “I just thought I would take a look at mobility scooter records and discovered the last one was 10ft four inches long.<br /><br />“I thought, ‘oh, I could so beat that!'<br /><br />"If you've got to beat a record, you've got to smash it - so made it as long as I possibly could".
