Four-wheel scooters on way to UK

ClementsMoto has announced that they are to be the UK distributor for Swiss company Quadro. Established in 2011, it’s a developer of three and four-wheel scooters which are said to combine the agility of two-wheels with the safety of four.  The bikes are currently manufactured in Taiwan, utilising Italian components.

The first model coming to the UK is the Quadro 350S – it’s powered by a 346cc single-cylinder four-stroke four-valve engine and features adjustable rear suspension, comfortable seating for rider and pillion, and three storage compartments. It produces 27bhp (19.8kW) @ 7000rpm and 21.2lb-ft (28.8Nm) @ 5500rpm.

The scooter is equipped with HTS (Hydraulic Tilting System) oleo-pneumatic tilting suspension at the front; an air-oil hydraulic shock absorber which is sometimes seen in the landing gear of large aircraft – with dual dampers on the rear which allow 100mm of wheel travel.

There are disc brakes on the front and rear, 14-inch tyres on the front and a 15-inch on the rear. There’s a seat height of 780mm, a dry weight of 200kg and fuel capacity is 13 litres.

Colour options will include black, grey and white.

April 2015 will see the launch of the Quadro 4 – a scooter which is bound to make an impression: it has four-wheels! It features the HTS suspension on the front and the rear, produces 29.6bhp (22.1Kw) @ 7500rpm and is belt driven. It boasts a 15 litre fuel tank, integral braking and a 45° tilting angle. We can’t wait to get our hands on one to try one out…
