What our customers are saying

Real experiences from farmers, adventurers, and professionals.

This machine is absolutely amazing. Did my research before purchasing, and you can't get better value for money, especially with all the 'extras' that are standard.

Bottom Line

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.
