According to the Trading Standards Institute, most mini motos, quad bikes and other off-road vehicles cannot legally be ridden on the road, or used on pavements, footpaths, cycle paths, common land or other public areas.
They can only be ridden legally on dedicated sites or private land, with the landowner’s permission.
