Types of licences for driving a quad bike

  • 50cc quad bikes

  • Special vehicles

To drive a registered quad bike in this category, you will need a car driving licence. Its speed reaches about 100 km/h, but handling this type of vehicle is undoubtedly great fun and exciting. Generally, if you hire a company's services to explore an environment on a quad bike, they'll give you the opportunity to ride one of these. 

  • Quadricycles

If there are approved quad bikes in this category then you'll need either a licence A (for motorcycles with or without sidecars, tricycles and motor quadricycles) or a licence B.

What else should I know?


You'll mainly need a B1-type driving licence, though this generally depends on the engine size and vehicle registration. As each type of quad bike is different, so is the licence you need to drive it. 

It's very important that you have the appropriate licences and even more important that you respect speed limits, as failing in either case could risk you receiving a fine.

One of the fundamental reasons why we need to possess driving licences is safety. Let's not forget that a vehicle with these characteristics can reach considerable speeds, and if we weren't familiar with this practice, we could get more than just a scare.
