A SUPERGRANDAD from Worcestershire has transformed his mobility scooter – into a Batmobile.

Brian Vann, of Hampton, Evesham, spent four weeks turning the electric scooter into the caped crusader’s car after deciding his own scooter design was too boring.

The 74-year-old can be spotted riding the Batmobile, which has a top speed of 8mph, around the sheltered housing complex where he lives.

Mr Vann, a retired construction worker, said: “The response to the Batmobile has been unbelievable.

“People drive past in their cars and stop when they see me, get out, and ask for a photo.

"I’ve had loads of people tell me how much they like the scooter.

“I feel like a bit of a celebrity – I know how the Beckhams must feel when I go out in my Batmobile. It’s a bit of a laugh and if it brings a smile to people’s faces, it’s done the job.”

Mr Vann, who has five great-grandchildren, built the Batmobile after deciding to take part in the Cancer Research relay race in memory of his wife, Mary, who died nine months ago.

He said: “The whole family decided we wanted to run the race to help raise money for Cancer Research, but I wanted to do something a bit different.

“I’ve been stuck in the mobility scooter since not long after Mary died, and the original design isn’t very exciting.

“I decided to transform it – and the Batmobile seemed like a perfect solution.

“I was only going to keep it as the Batmobile for the race, but I’ve decided I quite like having something a bit different now. It is a bit of fun to go down to the shops in it.”
