Chinese motorcycle entrepreneur Zhang Xue set a Guinness World Record today after riding a modified motorcycle 40.74 kilometers across open water in his hometown of Mayang, Hunan Province.中國摩托車企業家張雪今日在其家鄉湖南麻陽，駕駛一輛改裝摩托車在開闊水面行駛40.74公里，創下吉尼斯世界紀錄。

Zhang, founder of motorcycle maker Zhang Xue Motor, completed the challenge in about 32 minutes on an MX450 modified for water travel, breaking the previous record of about 31.8 kilometers for the farthest distance traveled by a modified motorcycle on open water.摩托車製造商張學摩托的創始人張某駕駛一輛改裝爲水上行駛的MX450摩托車，用時約32分鐘完成了這項挑戰，打破了改裝摩托車在開闊水域行駛最遠距離約31.8公里的原有紀錄。

The ride took place on the Jinjiang River in Mayang Miao Autonomous County. Zhang set off at 11am, completed eight sections and seven turns, and finished the 40.74-kilometer route shortly after 11:30am, according to China Central Television.據中央廣播電視總檯報道，此次騎行活動在麻陽苗族自治縣的錦江江上開展。張於上午11點出發，完成了8段路程和7個彎道，在上午11點30分剛過就結束了40.74公里的行程。

The motorcycle was based on the company’s MX450 and retained a standard motorcycle frame and powertrain, but was extensively modified for the attempt. Engineers added an amphibious ski system underneath the bike, enlarged the fuel tank and waterproofed key components, including the intake and exhaust systems.這款摩托車以該公司的MX450爲基礎，保留了標準的摩托車車架和動力總成，但爲此次挑戰進行了大規模改裝。工程師在摩托車下方加裝了兩棲滑橇系統，擴大了燃油箱，並對進氣和排氣系統等關鍵部件進行了防水處理。

Special paddle-style rear tires provided propulsion by pushing water backward, while the front ski acted as a rudder. The team also repeatedly adjusted the flotation structure, moving from wider to narrower boards to improve both buoyancy and steering.特製的槳式後輪通過向後推水提供推進力，而前部的滑橇則起到了舵的作用。該團隊還反覆調整了浮力結構，將浮板從更寬的款式換成更窄的款式，以同時提升浮力和操控性能。

The MX450 uses a single-cylinder engine developed by Zhang’s company, with output of more than 60 horsepower, according to the report. Maintaining sufficient power while preventing water from entering the engine was one of the main technical challenges.報告顯示，MX450搭載了張的公司研發的單缸發動機，輸出功率超過60馬力。在保證足夠動力的同時防止水進入發動機，是其主要的技術難題之一。

Zhang said he deliberately avoided pushing the speed too hard during the official attempt because his priority was completing the distance safely. Afterward, he gave himself a score of 99 out of 100, saying he wanted to “leave one point” to avoid becoming too proud.張表示，在正式挑戰中他刻意沒有把速度提得太快，因爲他的首要目標是安全完成這段距離。事後，他給自己打了99分（滿分100分），稱自己想“留一分”，避免變得過於驕傲。

The record also marked the completion of a challenge Zhang first attempted 17 years ago.這一紀錄也標誌着張首次嘗試於17年前的一項挑戰圓滿完成。

In 2009, when he was 22, Zhang appeared on a CCTV program and tried four times to ride a crudely modified motorcycle across water. All four attempts ended with him falling into the water, with his longest run reaching about 20 meters against a target of 26 meters.2009年，22歲的張某登上央視一檔節目，四次嘗試騎着改裝簡陋的摩托車過水。四次嘗試均以落水告終，他最長的一次行駛距離達到了約20米，而目標距離爲26米。

Zhang later entered the motorcycle industry, helping found Kove Moto in 2017 before establishing Zhang Xue Motor in 2024.張後來進入摩托車行業，2017年參與創立凱越摩托，2024年又創立了張學摩托。

He said he chose to stage the new attempt in Mayang partly because it was his hometown and he wanted the event to draw attention to the area.他說他選擇在麻陽開展這次新的嘗試，部分原因是那裏是他的家鄉，他希望藉此活動讓更多人關注到這個地區。

“This time I wanted to fulfill that dream in my hometown,” Zhang said, according to Xinhua. “I also wanted the world to see this place.”據新華社報道，張說：“這次我想在家鄉實現那個夢想，我也想讓世界看到這個地方。”
