Tuatara 1000 EFI
1.0L EFI three-cylinder petrol · 51kW (69hp) · 5-speed manual with selectable 2WD/4WD and front & rear diff locks. The dependable, refuel-and-go workhorse.
All-steel, go-anywhere petrol and electric UTVs — switchable 2WD/4WD, diff locks, electric winch and rear-tray hoist as standard. One workhorse for the farm, station, worksite, for leisure or for the environmentally friendly.
Five utility vehicles and all terrain vehicles — from the proven 1000 EFI petrol to a growing electric range: the 1500E, the dual-motor 2500E, a 6-seat dual-cab people mover and a purpose-built orchard model. Same rugged all-steel platform, your choice of powertrain and configuration.
1.0L EFI three-cylinder petrol · 51kW (69hp) · 5-speed manual with selectable 2WD/4WD and front & rear diff locks. The dependable, refuel-and-go workhorse.
15kW (30kW peak) electric · two battery variants, 70–90km or 120–160km range · regenerative braking, near-silent running and almost no servicing. The market-leading electric UTV.
Single-cab, 3-seat dual-motor electric · 25kW (50kW peak), one motor per axle · 26.5kWh battery, up to 150km · 700kg payload. Serious electric grunt, zero emissions.
6-seat double cabin · dual-motor (25kW total, one motor per axle) · 26.5kWh battery, up to 160km. A go-anywhere people mover for crews and tourism.
Low-profile electric build for kiwifruit canopies, orchards and vineyards. Cabin off, half-screen on — walk-through access that still carries and tows serious weight.
Tuatara is built the old-fashioned way — simple, rugged engineering you can actually service yourself, with the gear other brands charge extra for fitted as standard.
Petrol and electric Tuataras put through their paces — mud, water and real working country.
From rugged stations to the cleanest indoor campus — and because the electric models are quiet and emission-free, they go places a petrol machine can't.
Feeding out, fencing, spraying and stock work with a 700kg payload and 1,000kg towing.
Low-profile, walk-through access for vineyards, market gardens and fruit-tree rows.
Silent, zero-emission transport for grounds, laundry and supplies around people.
Clean, quiet runabouts for terminals, hangars and airside maintenance crews.
Move people and gear around distribution centres, ports and yards — indoors or out.
Parks, sportsgrounds, campuses and cemeteries — road-rated and gentle on turf.
All-steel toughness, ROPS and a 2,000kg winch for site works and access roads.
Quiet guest and crew transport that won't disturb the peace — or the neighbours.
Our growing electric range — the 1500E, 2500E, Dual Cab and Orchardised — runs clean and quiet, with running costs equivalent to roughly 30c a litre and the option to charge straight off your solar.
No exhaust and no fumes — safe to run in sheds, glasshouses and enclosed spaces.
Fuel you make yourself — recharge overnight from the grid or your own panels.
Won't startle stock, disturb patients or guests, or break council noise limits.
Recovers energy on every descent — more range and far less brake wear.
No engine oil, coolant or filters to change, store or send to landfill.
Cheaper per kilometre and far less to service than a petrol equivalent.
The questions we field most often about our utility vehicles and all terrain vehicles.
Yes. We're the appointed Queensland dealer and we also service the Northern Territory. Our base is 15 Orford Ct, Wilsonton in Toowoomba — located within Airglide Towbars — and we deliver from there. Call Rick on 0447 734 199 to arrange freight to your property.
The 1000 EFI petrol suits long days and remote work where refuelling is simpler than charging — a 50L tank gives an estimated 500km. The electric models suit properties with power or solar: running costs work out around 30c per petrol-litre equivalent, there's no oil, filters or exhaust to service, and they run near-silently around stock, in sheds and after hours. Both share the same all-steel platform, 310mm ground clearance and standard winch and diff locks.
It depends on the model and battery. The 1500E-2 carries a 12kWh battery for 70–90km; the 1500E-3 carries 26kWh for 120–160km. The dual-motor 2500E runs a 26.5kWh battery for up to 150km, and the six-seat Dual Cab up to 160km. Regenerative braking recovers energy on every descent. Range varies with load, terrain and driving style.
More than most brands fit as standard: switchable 2WD/4WD with front and rear differential locks, a 2,000kg electric winch, an electric rear-tray hoist, a roof-mounted LED light bar, snorkel, fold-down windscreen, power steering, rollover protection and four-point seatbelts. The chassis is a 100% steel ladder frame with a six-step anti-corrosion treatment.
Payload runs to 750kg depending on model. The rear tray takes 550kg, the front cargo tray 150kg and the roof 50kg, with a towing capacity of 1,000kg. The 2500E carries a 700kg payload on a 1,600mm × 1,390mm steel deck.
Pricing depends on the model you choose and how you spec it — doors, windscreens, cab air-conditioning, cargo cage, trailer and the rest. Tell us how you'll use it and we'll put a price together. Call Rick on 0447 734 199 or Leanne on 0409 478 958, or send an enquiry through the contact page.
Yes — drop into our Wilsonton base in Toowoomba, within Airglide Towbars, or ask us about a demonstration on your own country. We'd rather you drove one on the ground you'll actually work it on.
Very little. There's no engine oil, no filters, no carburettor and no exhaust — the main jobs are keeping it charged and checking brakes, tyres and suspension. The motors are IP67-rated and water-cooled. Full operator's manuals for the 1000 EFI, 1500E and 2500E are free to download from each model page.
Talk to Rick or Leanne about a demo at our Wilsonton, Toowoomba base — or to find your nearest unit.
