Andy
As far as I can recall, it did say Quadracycle on the document. Out of interest, many years ago I registred a Motoroma 150 quad for the road. Now, not a lot of people know this, but if you are disabled, you are excempt from type approval. You will know what type approval is Andy. It doesnt need to have all the road legal bits on it like indicators, speedo etc. As I am disabled, I qualified. So basically, a straight out of the box off-road quad can be made road legal. Which I did. However, even the guys at the dvla offices dont always know about this and I had to get the guy from VOSA to phone them to explain. Obviously this saves around £1000, but you really do want indicators, speedo etc on your bike. As the bike was a couple of years old, I had to get a certificate of newness from the manufacturer, stating that the bike was new at time of purchase.
Here's the official document:
