What is a light quadricycle?

  1. A four-wheeled motor vehicle with a mass in running order of 400 kg or less.
  2. A motor vehicle with an engine displacement of no more than 50 cc.
  3. A four-wheeled vehicle with a top speed of no more than 45 km/h and an engine displacement of no more than 50 cc if it has a spark-ignition engine.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A four-wheeled vehicle with a top speed of no more than 45 km/h and an engine displacement of no more than 50 cc if it has a spark-ignition engine.

A light quadricycle is a four-wheeled moped. Its maximum design speed does not exceed 45 km/h, and if it has a spark-ignition engine, such as a gasoline engine, its displacement does not exceed 50 cm³. As a moped, it does not legally count as a motor vehicle, even though it has a motor.
