=== Quadricycle legislation ===
{{main|Quadricycle (EU vehicle classification)}}

The European Union introduced the quadricycle category in 1992. In several European countries since then, microcars are classified by governments separately from normal cars, sometimes using the same regulations as [[motorcycle]]s or [[moped]]s. Therefore, compared with normal cars, microcars often have relaxed requirements for registration and licensing, and can be subject to lower taxes and insurance costs.
