unfortunatly due to the increasing numbers of quad biking and people who drive dangerously on and off the road the RTA and the Shaikh have applied new rules so get ready for them this new season . . .

HH Shaikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai Crown Prince and Chairman of the Executive Council, endorsed two rules governing the use and licensing of recreational motorbikes and jet skis in the emirate of Dubai. The
rules tasked the Roads & Transport Authority (RTA)
with the responsibility of licensing & registering recreational motorbikes

VERY IMPORTANT

According to the provisions of using & licensing recreational motorbikes, no one is permitted to drive or practice the business of renting recreational motorbikes, unless a prior license is obtained from RTA Licensing Agency, for
using them in non-paved areas specified by the RTA. Drivers of recreational motorbikes are not allowed to drive on paved roads, residential areas, internal areas or coastal areas of the emirate.

Those below this age limit may use recreational motorbikes under the supervision of their custodians; provided that they shall have the mental & physical power to drive these bikes. They shall also be well acquainted with the rules of operating and using these bikes. Drivers have to wear specialised clothing for riding these bikes, such as protective helmets, and abide by safety stipulations & requirements detailed in the implementation chart of this Rule. Rental offices have to verify that those hiring the bikes fulfill these conditions.
The Rule dictates that the applicant shall provide comprehensive insurance coverage of the recreational motorbike against accidents and civil liability from a licensed insurance Co. in the emirate. Recreational motorbikes licensed under this Rule shall be registered with the RTA Licensing Agency. To license recreational motorbikes owned by natural persons, users have to attend traffic safety courses organized by sale dealers or concerned institutes.
The Rule set the validity of the license to practice the business of using and renting recreational motorbikes as one year, renewable for a similar period under the same conditions & requirements, provided the renewal application shall be submitted to the concerned department within 30 days of the date of license expiry.
The Rule empowered the RTA to draw up conditions & instructions necessary for monitoring, surveillance and inspection of rental offices of such recreational motorbikes, as well as their locations and fleets of bikes.RTA is to verify compliance with the terms & conditions provided for in this Rule and its Implementation Chart.
The Rule detailed the fees of registration, renewal and inspection of recreational motorbikes as follows: registration fees: Dh300, renewal fees: Dh300, technical inspection: Dh100, licensing a rental office of recreational motorbikes: Dh1000, renewing the licensing of a rental office of recreational motorbikes: Dh1000.
