The driver of a black Skoda Superb taxi was also involved in the collision but no one else is thought to have been injured.
It is understood the man remains in a critical condition in the capital.
Police have since launched an appeal for information as part of their investigation into the crash and have asked anyone who saw the incident to come forward and share their information with officers.
Drivers in the area with dashboard-mounted cameras have also been sought in case their devices caught the collision.
Constable Jake Threadgold, of Police Scotland’s Road Policing Unit in Livingston, said: “We believe the area was busy around the time of the crash and would urge anyone who may have witnessed the crash to contact police.
“We are also keen to speak to the rider of a motorbike who we understand was riding in tandem with the quad bike."
He added: “Anyone with information or dash-cam footage which could assist our investigation should call 101, quoting incident number 3442 of 1 April.”
