Re: Quad bike hire?
Be aware of the licence requirement for this type of vehicle to be driven on the road. The requirement is that you have the vehicle designation 'E' on your Cypriot licence (I don't think an English licence is sufficient). This applies for all ATV's but I am not sure about the smaller quad bikes. I hope this is helpful.

I am told they are classed as tractors - hence no helmet required. So you'd need a tractor group on your English licence then you would be legal I think.

Thank you for responding, this could be the reason nobody hires them here.....

Re: Quad bike hire?
Some Licence info here, for future reference.
UK Driving licence categories...
https://www.gov.uk/driving-licence-categories
On the front of a UK Driving Licence.
9. lists the categories you are permitted to drive.
Category B1 Light vehicles and quad bikes.
You can drive motor vehicles with 4 wheels up to 400kg unladen
or 550kg if they’re designed for carrying goods.
On my UK Licence, f Agricultural tractor, is also part of my entitlement.
Check the above link and your own UK Driving Licence, to confirm what you're able to drive.
I do not know what the TRNC equivalents are, or where on the net to find them

The UK category for quad bikes does not apply in the TRNC, you have to get a tractor licence added to your TRNC driving licence.
There was a UK couple who had large matching quad bikes with a UK licence who had to do the tractor test.

As I said you need a tractor driver qualification on your licence not a quad bike one.....
