Tuatara 2500E
The dual-motor electric workhorse. A single-cab, 3-seat Tuatara with one motor on each axle — 25kW rated (50kW peak), a 26.5kWh battery and up to 150km of range — delivering serious, clean grunt with a 700kg payload and almost nothing to service.
Two motors. One per axle. No driveshafts.
The 2500E (model TU-SC2500E) puts a permanent-magnet motor on each axle — 10kW up front and 15kW at the rear — for constant four-wheel traction, instant torque and less driveline drag and noise. It's the single-cab, work-focused member of the electric Tuatara family.
A 26.5kWh lithium iron phosphate battery delivers up to 150km of range, while regenerative braking recovers energy on every descent. Like every Tuatara it's built on an all-steel ladder chassis with a 2,000kg winch, power steering and a full steel cargo tray — just with clean, quiet electric drive and barely any servicing.
- Dual motor — 10kW front + 15kW rear (25kW rated, 50kW peak)
- Up to 110 N·m at the rear axle for instant pulling power
- 26.5kWh LiFePO₄ battery · up to 150km range
- Regenerative braking · IP67-rated water-resistant motors
- 2,000kg electric winch & power-assisted steering
- 700kg payload on an all-steel chassis
Zero emissions. Near silent. Barely any servicing.
The 2500E runs clean and quiet, with costs equivalent to roughly 30c a litre and the option to charge straight off your solar.
Zero tailpipe emissions
No exhaust and no on-site fumes — safe to run in sheds, glasshouses and enclosed spaces.
Charge from solar
Recharge overnight from the grid or straight off your panels — fuel you don't have to cart.
Near-silent running
Won't startle stock, disturb patients or guests, or break council noise limits.
Regenerative braking
Recovers energy on every descent for more range and far less brake wear.
No oils or filters
No engine oil, coolant or filters to change, store or send to landfill.
Lower running costs
Cheaper per kilometre and far less to service than a petrol equivalent.
Quiet, clean and capable — wherever you need it
Because it's electric and emission-free, the 2500E goes places a noisy, fume-producing machine can't — indoors, after hours and around people.
Farms & stations
Feeding out, fencing and stock work with a 700kg payload and serious traction.
Hospitals & aged care
Silent, zero-emission transport for grounds, laundry and supplies around people.
Airports & airside
Clean, quiet runabouts for terminals, hangars and airside maintenance crews.
Shipping & logistics
Move people and gear around distribution centres, ports and yards — indoors or out.
Councils & facilities
Parks, sportsgrounds, campuses and cemeteries — gentle on turf and on the ears.
Mining & civil
All-steel toughness and a 2,000kg winch for site works and access roads.
Universities & campuses
Tidy, emission-free transport for maintenance teams across large sites.
Resorts & tourism
Quiet guest and crew transport that won't disturb the peace.
