A German man was stopped by police after he was clocked doing 40mph down a high street in a tuned-up electric wheelchair.

Guenther Eichmann, 54, told cops in Geseke, Germany, that he was a former engineer and had modified the wheelchair's electric engine so it could go faster.

He was stopped doing twice the speed limit. His vehicle was confiscated and he was slapped with a £300 fine.
