Meet TUATARA: the ultimate all-steel ATV engineered for Australia’s toughest terrain. Designed to haul, tow, and tackle every job with unmatched durability, power, and control. They outwork and outlast the big-name brands, delivering steel-built durability, electric efficiency, and full-featured capability at an unmatched value.
Born in New Zealand’s harsh backcountry and now trusted across Australia’s farms, councils, and job sites, TUATARA is redefining what a utility vehicle can do.
Every machine is built like a truck — not a toy — with an all-steel chassis, massive cargo capacity, and true 4x4 capability that lets you tackle anything from muddy paddocks to mountain tracks. Where others chase lifestyle, we build for life’s work.
Machines that breathe with the landscape, responding to every challenge.
More standard features and heavier build quality than the well-known brands — for thousands less.
Choose between the quiet efficiency of the 1500E electric model or the long-range power of the 1000 EFI petrol unit.
No plastic panels here. Our fully welded steel chassis and cargo bed are e-coated for corrosion resistance and designed to take real punishment.
Carry more, haul more, and get the job done faster.
True off-road traction for steep, slippery, or uneven terrain.
Real experiences from farmers, adventurers, and professionals.
The Future of Utility. Forged in Steel. Powered by Electricity.
Meet the TUATARA 1500E — the fully electric side-by-side that’s changing how Australians work and play. With a 30 kW peak motor, 70–110 km real-world range, and zero emissions, it’s silent, powerful, and maintenance-friendly. Run all day on a single charge, with torque on tap and no fuel cost or exhaust fumes. Perfect for farms, barns, sheds, vineyards, or eco-sensitive environments.
When compared to mainstream brands like Polaris and Can-Am, TUATARA delivers more capability where it matters most.
If you need an electric workhorse with real off-road hardware (steel body, big payload, front & rear lockers), the Tuatara 1500E is the only EV built like a mini-truck rather than a powersports toy—strong payload/tow, simple LFP maintenance, and quiet operation in sheds/paddocks.
Polaris Ranger EV is a legacy electric with decent light-duty specs, but its flooded lead-acid batteries add maintenance and aging-pack considerations; many shoppers have moved to newer EV platforms or to petrol for range.
