After his successful attempt, the thirty-one-year-old engineer said that he bought the trash can itself through the Facebook advertising platform for $25 (just under 560 crowns). However, subsequent adjustments required significantly more, which in total swallowed over 20 thousand crowns in conversion.
The two-stroke unit from the Suzuki GP 125 motorcycle, which was connected to a five-speed gearbox, served as the drive unit. In order to move at high speed, the chassis also had to be modified. Among other things, a front wheel was added, the original rear wheels were replaced with magnesium go-kart wheels, and the axis between them also had to be fundamentally reinforced, she informed agency AP.
With this unique single-seater, Wallhead reached a speed of 54.9 miles per hour (88.35 km/h) at Elvington Airport in Yorkshire. He thus significantly surpassed the previous record from May 2021, when Andy Jennings drove his garbage can to 45 miles per hour (72.4 km/h).
He makes a living by rummaging through trash cans. They earn up to a hundred thousand a month
