Default Scooter times tested - interesting results!

I have conducted 3 test runs to see if it is possible for my 4 year old daughter to get to the end of the road on her scooter in less than 5 seconds. We did the run both directions due to wind.

Results - she can!

Going to lower the handle bars and ask her to do the run in shorts and t-shirt to reduce weight & drag.

Trying to get it under 4.5secs - keep you all posted - results tomorrow

What sort of rubber is she running for traction, you may want to swap her gym plimsols for some stickier trainers

Going to run her on high protein meal before the run tomorrow - do not think shaving the head is an option - however will put on swimming cap!!! Will record the run and post results tomorrow.
