just to let you know you dont get cat B1 with a full bike licence anymore
you only get it with a full car licence
if its a single seater you can ride a quad or trike on a provisional car licence plus L plates
if its a 2 seat you can still ride on a provisional but must have a full licence holder on the back
and yes you can take a B1 test but its hard finding a test center that does it
Car license
apparently insurance is sky high though

You need a full car licence (or pre 1999 bike licence) to ride a quad on the road.
Its classed as a small car.

If one of these came up at the right price I would consider it.
100 mpg and you can park it in a bike rack. Sound.

Because you need to dress silly and change gear with your feet, neither of which I'm keen to do.

as said, can ride a quad on a car license as it's got 4 wheels so classed as a car or something silly.
my cousin bought one last month and it's great but a bit dangerous considering you don't need to wear a helmet meaning all kinds of dicks get on them.
