Quadbike? Quadricycle? Its a bike. I beliveve it has to pass MSVA.
Quadricycle I would think.
Think it has to be under 425kg?
Here's some info on what people have had to do . Agricultural registered quads are not supposed to be run full time on the road and road quads are supposed to be restricted to 20bhp
ta everyone its mainly because there restricted to 20hp
so this is limited to 20 bhp

for how long
I know thats what I thought its a bit like having to turn up to the sva and do a emissions test on a engine that never had to have one
what bollox
There's quite a few appearing on the roads by us now. I'm damn sure that the one that left me for dead at the traffic lights the other evening was a bit more that 20hp judging by the fact that he must have been in 3rd by the time the front wheels came back into contact with the tarmac again!
this is the spec for the off road version.

The guy across the road from me has one. 600cc I think. He sent it away for modding and svaing it cost around £1000 all in 
I think that the one that passed me on the way back around the M25 from Russ's house at 80mph, was more than 20bhp!!!
Would anyone pay £7.5k for one of these? & who would want to do 80mph on a motorway with one?
I know everyone thinks we're nuts (we are), but come on ...........................

didnt one brand get type approval in portugal and hence by EU rules be legal all over europe?

Parked up in Newcastle General Hospital's car park this afternoon. Recent numberplate.
you'd be surprised how far 20hp goes with so little weight I think. been considering trying to put my car through like that, would have to limit engine. not worth the hassle if i need to claim in insurance though i suppose
