 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Tuatara is a serious bit of kit.  Built tough, for Kiwi Farms.  There is no competition in the market at the moment for the eTuatara 1500E.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The electric-Tuatara ATV has proved to be a very versatile vehicle for our conservation block work. It handles steep hill country very well and has the tray capacity to carry all you need and more for planting and pest control tasks.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our EV Tuatara is the superstar of our lifestyle block on the outskirts of Hamilton. We wanted an ATV that was quiet, could get around the property in winter conditions and transport / tip garden material. The Tuatara has exceeded our expectations, it’s an absolute workhorse. From climbing steep terrain to using the winch for tree branches it has been incredibly useful the whole family.

I feel like we are just scratching the surface in terms of the capability of this machine, so I can certainly see how it is a great fit for serious dairy and farming operations.

I researched, for a number of weeks, the most suitable ATV and kept coming back to the Tuatara. The excellent customer service was a pleasant surprise, they are a great team to deal with.  It’s also nice to support an NZ designed product (I’m a huge fan of how it looks too)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Awesome machine! Went for the electric model and it is super capable. Have only had it a couple of weeks and it’s easily out performing the Hilux around our steep farm with the same sort of tough build quality. Thought it would be a bit of a luxury item but have used it everyday, it’s fast becoming indispensable.
Bit of a strange feeling to buy something like this online, but Geoff made the process very easy and was super helpful with answering any questions. Had it in action in Auckland within a week!
Absolutely recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a 40 year commercial hunter in the venison recovery by ground and air, we have used every type of 4x4 for the purposes of getting to hunting grounds and back again loaded with deer for export.
After much research, we discovered the TUATARA ATV and liked all the boxes it ticked for our work.
It’s robustness and well thought out design suits the rugged terrain we encounter in our kiwi back country.
It’s biggest plus for us is the quiet engine and exhaust system, the deer don’t here us coming.
The pay load is also great, with ours we have installed a gantry and to load deer, pigs etc
Also an e bike for hunting further afield.
In winter the doors and great heater is excellent and was happy to be sitting out torrential rain and hail last week having a brew.
Fully recommend for NZ back country for hunting, farming and many other agricultural uses this great little 4x4 gives.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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. Took it offroading on Thompson track this week. Didn't get stuck anywhere, was even at times on 2 wheels and it just kept going, and felt so safe. Couldn't have asked for better. Out does the mule on the farm hands down. Thanks guys.
