The Quad Urban from Sebastian Salanova is a concept ATV for use in crowded [city streets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urbanisto-ebike). Most ATVs aren't meant to be anywhere near a city, but most ATVs aren't like the Quad Urban.

The Quad Urban might as well be a [mini car](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-bagnole-electric-utv) with its turn signals, stop lights and an on-board GPS. The Quad Urban should appeal to city slickers who want to have their own car, but don't want to shell out big bucks and leave a huge carbon footprint.
