On a Q plate maybe? Sounds like the sort of thing Aceadvice would be able to help with.

Very difficult in standard format. I sold my 125cc Micorcar last year and only possible to put on the UK roads as previously registered in France. Normally they are classed as "Sans Permis" and as such virtually impossible to put on UK roads legally as not type approved or whatever so need IVA test - which they wouldn't pass. Check out RUM www.rumcars.org/ for more info. Putting bodyshell on a road registered quad could be a viable option as long as the frame of the quad remained unaltered. Paul H |

From memory we did a long chat about this either on here or Rods and sods before with link sto the legal issues ? I'm sure the main issue with the quad conversion is still overall finished weight which would take it outside the legal requirements to still be considered a quad.

Hang on, you guys are allowed to register quad bikes over there?! Why? They're all strictly off-road only here.

Yes very popular, but beware that now they have to have a cable handbrake to be road legal, and that includes those that are already road registered. In their case for next MoT.

Check out the laws for a 'heavy quadricycle'. Thats how quads and these random sofa things fall through the loop. I reckon it would easily pass!
