In 2018, Robert and Cheryle Bouvier of Clive, AB founded Beavery Machinery Ltd and began importing BEAVER ATVs from New Zealand.  A slightly modified version of the TUATARA.  The TUATARA now boasts a closed-in heated cab.  A true North American necessity.   We continue to introduce and add new features to the TUATARA ATV specifically designed for North America with various added features that you can build on.  

Geoff Hill and Qingmei Pang are the founder of TUATARA Machinery Limited, trading as TUATARA, who produce the ATV and accessories initially for New Zealanders and currently to a number of countries, including U.S.A. and Canada.

Why “Tuatara”? The iconic tuatara is an ancient lizard species found only in New Zealand. Each tuatara can live for more than 100 years, and its rugged appearance is strangely appealing. What better image could there be for an  ATV?

Geoff and Qingmei designed the TUATARA ATV from the ground up to handle most conditions. The TUATARA is designed with strength in mind. It has  plenty of power, carrying capacity, and a go-anywhere off-road capability.

TUATARA CANADA now bring you the new specific North American line for TUATARA  ATVs.  These ATV products boast features like glass windscreen and rear window, windshield washer, and of course, a heated cab for our Northern climates!

Prepare to conquer the vast landscapes of Canada with the TUATARA, the ultimate All-Terrain Utility Vehicle engineered for rugged terrain and relentless performance. Whether you're navigating the wilderness of the Rockies, tending to your farm in the Prairies, or embarking on backcountry hunts in the boreal forests, the Tuatara is your steadfast partner for every adventure.

The TUATARA continues to evolve in response to customer feedback. TUATARA ATV is determined to make the TUATARA the off-road side-by-side ATV utility vehicle of choice for farmers, hunters, contractors and recreational users. There is no need for a special license, as it can be driven off-road with a valid driver's license.
