How we got here
Our History
It took two full years (and considerable financial outlay) to finally get approval from the Australian Government to import and sell this type of transport. It hasn't been an easy road by any means. The hurdles required to navigate have been mountainous with approvals and tests and due dilligence. Getting them registered for use in the public domain was another major hurdle. We are here now and we have a lot of people to thank. You know who you are and we are eternally grateful for all of the assistance you have given.
Are these road legal? Simple answer. Yes! See below.
ADR (Australian Design Rules)

The Australian Design Rules (ADRs) are our national standards for road vehicle safety, anti-theft and emissions. All new road vehicles manufactured in Australia. and imported new or second-hand vehicles, must comply with the relevant ADRs when they are first supplied to the Australian market.
When a vehicle is first used on an Australian road, the relevant state or territory government legislation generally requires that it complies with the relevant ADRs as at the time of manufacture.
