Road legal quads

[sunbear]

I keep seeing these quad bikes on the road. Would i be right in assuming a motorcycle licence is required for one ?

but you do need a car licence , and a helmet , a trike would probably be easier.

its funny cus I'm sure a quad would not weigh more than 410 kilos ,
trikes that are sub 410 kilos are bikes , but more than are cars funny init,

You can ride one on a car or bike licence. You dont legally need a helmet, but i would highly recomend one. Just because its got 4 wheels doesnt meen its safer in the event of an accedent, probably more dangerous than a bike. A normal sports quad has a dry weight of about 170 kg

They are evil fuckers when going around corners..Borderline dangerouse! Much MUCH slower than a bike, however off road they come into their own. I would never go on the road on one again.

A quad holds the track record for a bike track here in NI so they can corner when set up correctly even better than a bike!

I have a semi-Race Raptor which is 660cc by no means a slouch ok its only a 50hp single and 185kg but lower ratio than a bike and higher torque not to mention i have 225 wide road tyres so i will easily see 60 in under 5 secs i believe that brings it inline with a R6 as i have beeten a few off the line in my car which is running similar power to weight ratio to the quad but over 80 a bike will kill both off them.

Road kits can be bought for £5-600 and its low tax and no helmet needed but best to wear one. There is a lot off guys in the states round Cali using quads on the road so becoming popular theres even a few turbo'd ones about
