I have seen these all over around DC they are allowing them to be licenced as bikes. You need a motorcycle licence to drive it.

Look as i see it you have the smart car here in the USA. Why not this quad, maybe instead of calling it a GG Quad call it the smart bike, it about the same size, only differnce between the two one has a roof the other one does not. Can Am made a three wheeler and it is selling like hot cakes!!! Hope this bike will be allowed to roam the streets of the USA.

Go and google “Yamaha Tesseract”. It’s exactly the sort of thing I’d kill to ride, but laws in the states mean that even if it goes into production, it won’t be street legal here. I am considering building a similar vehicle just to see if it can be done legally in Florida.

It’s safe, low emissions (it’s actually a hybrid for heaven’s sake) and can lean into turns like a motorcycle using independent swing-arm suspension. To me, it’s brilliant.

Where do I sign up to get this kind of thing legalized?

Street quads are safe and fun, I build them. And ride them. Mine is made for the street, highway, racing, off-road too.I have done 10 day trips across 6 states.
So much more to put here, but I don’t want to bore you. So just let me say this. I know the guys at GG usa. Great guys and great bike. If you ever do ride one you will get over the problems you have. I ride with the cbr1100xx.org owners organization at the meets. Mine will do everything the bike will, up to the high speed stuff. Mine will only do 140 mph. It has been on the street since 2005. Never been stopped. The police love it and think it is much safer than a bike.
But, it did not start out as a atv. It started out as a bike with a title and you can modify your bike into a four wheel vehicle if you want. Many bikes are converted into a trike by adding two more wheels, and not removing the rear that it came with.
You would not know it if you did not look for it. Hannigan also builds a goldwing quad one too.
Mine goes around corners just as well as a bike. I have had it on the track and within 5 laps was getting close to the track record.
Just got through building two and have an article coming out in Sand Sports Mag, next month, about being used in both on and off road.
So those that are worried about quads on the street, they are here. People love them, and the laws will come around, sooner if you help get the laws rewritten so you can just buy one, instead of build one.

One of the problems with something like this is how small it is. Unlike a motorcycle on 2 wheels, something like this will start to become very touchy at higher speeds because of the 4 wheels being so close to one another. As far as not needing to lean, even on 4 wheels you’re going to need to around sharper turns unless you make them very slow. I really would like to see this happen, maybe even make it so you can alter your own 4 wheeler to become street legal, even if you have to pass a specialized safety course and gain another classification on your license for it. That would also create more jobs which are much needed right now. This bike here, you can’t call it an ATV in any way. Without the offroad tires and right suspension, the fact that it’s so close to the ground, it can’t be used on all terrain. If that’s what they want to use against it, what about jeeps? 4×4 pickups i see people riding off road? Then those should be considered ATVs too right?
