We know that many young people have their own quad bike, or have some experience either with a quad bike or a dirt bike.  And of course they want to be allowed to control the bike on our tours.  We cannot allow this for a number of reasons: our bikes are 625cc and are rated for adults only our insurance policy does not permit quad bikes to be controlled by under 18’s our permits to operate our business do not permit quad bikes to be controlled by under 18’s if something bad happens to the young person, a court may find us personally liable one in three deaths on quad bikes in 2013 was a young person under 14 years. We strongly suggest that you discuss this with your children if this may be an issue.  It may be that it is not going to be enjoyable for you or them, and then you have spent money that is not appreciated. All quad bike tour operators, apart from one on private land, have the same policies.
