Off-road Vehicles and The Law

All bikes including quad bikes, monkey bikes, scooters and small machines with a petrol engine and mini motors and go peds powered by an electric motor are classified as not suitable for use on roads or pavements. This means these bikes come under the laws for motorcycle safety. It does not matter how small the bike is, how slowly it travels or if it has been designed for children. 

Remember it's your responsibility to ride legally. 
Ignoring the law is no defence. Breaking the law can have serious consequences.
You run the risk of: 

• Having your bike seized 
• Enforcement action 
• A heavy fine 
• A civil claim for injury 

You are not insured to ride your vehicle on public land. If you do you risk your vehicle being seized and crushed by Merseyside Police. 

Safer St Helens have not been made aware of any legal off road tracks in the Merseyside area.
