The quad bike is orange and black with distinctive chrome and black wheels, and officers ask for anyone who may have seen the rider or have dash cam footage to contact Peel Police Station.
No other vehicles were involved, but Foxdale Road remains closed from the Garth Crossroads to Eairy Dam until 6pm at the earliest.
