Definitions of a quad bike:
There are two categories of quad bike, each with its own definition. These are called category L6e and L7e.
Category L6e
This category is a light four-wheeled quadricycle with:
an unladen weight of 350 kilograms
a maximum speed of 45 kilometres per hour
It must also have one of the following:
a maximum spark ignition internal combustion engine capacity of 50 centimetres cubed
a maximum power of any other internal combustion engine of 4 kilowatts
a maximum electric motor continuous rated power of 4 kilowatts
Category L7e
This category is a four-wheeled quadricycle with:
an unladen weight of 400 kilograms (or 550 kilograms for a goods carrying vehicle)
a maximum net power, whatever the type of engine or motor, of 15 kilowatts
Four wheeled vehicles that fall outside of these two definitions would need to be type approved, registered and taxed in another category like a car.
