Road Legal Quad-Bikes / 2 Seater Buggies

Lil306

Anyone know the laws stipulating these?

I'm still young at heart and like the style of the 2 seater quad buggies.

There are a lot of people claiming them to be road legal, but what requirements do you need to look for for them to be road legal as it's new territory to me.

Lights, Indicators, Brakes, Reverse, MOT/Tax/Insurance obviously

Are they restricted to HP at all, I'd love to have one for a daily driver because it's different but also because I can go off-road when I'm bored.

I'm looking at getting something like this... (Ignore the crappy advert) it's the vehicle I'm interested in

Preferably with switchable 2/4WD and a top end of 70-100

Merci, I'll have a read through

EDIT - I've had a read but that seems to govern about "quad bikes"

Do you know anywhere I can look at regarding the buggies?

Check the log books most buggies are registered as quadricycle so come under the same rules.
