I'd imagine it only had to pass the "Quadricycle" SVA test ?

less than 400kg and proof on the day that it has max 20bhp
we could do it but I dont think r1 restricted would go down well

They're EC-approved.
According to the 2-3 wheel guidance 2003/37/EG
they may have 4 wheels if the power isn't higher than 15 kW.
The mass of the vehicle may not exceed 400 kg. (550 kg if the are build to carriage goods)
So.... build a 400 kg seven with 15 kw engine and get lighter rules.

but with a 0-30 time of 8 seconds and a 67MPH top speed, you might not actually get to your SVA test.

You need a Car SVA, just like all those quad bikes with more than 20hp

Don't suppose anyone has found the web site for the manufacturer have they?
I can't and i'm wondering if this is just 'cheap' advertising.
