All-terrain vehicles in Australia

Updated 4 November 2026

All-terrain vehicles in Australia cost from about A$3,900 for a kids' 150 cc buggy to around A$38,000 for a four-seat diesel utility, according to sellers' websites in November 2026. To find the right machine for farm, bush or trail use, send a free request on BlaBlaPrice and say what you will use it for.

Safety standards and helmets

Australia has a mandatory standard for quad bikes that aims to prevent or reduce the risk of death or injury, so check under which standard a four-wheeled machine is sold. For helmets, the only standard named for ATV riding is AS 1698, Protective helmets for vehicle users. Check that the helmet is marked to that standard, and that the rider wears it on every ride.

Private land and road use

Not every listing is for public roads. Some electric ATVs in this range are sold for private land only, so check what use the seller allows before you buy. Road vehicles must be entered on the Register of Approved Vehicles (RAV) before they are first supplied, so ask whether the machine is road-legal or meant for farm and trail use.

Season and riding conditions

Summer runs from December to February, the hottest months, so plan rides for early mornings and carry water. Winter runs from June to August. A machine bought in November will be used through both seasons in its first year, so choose a model that suits the hot months as well as the cooler ones.

How machines are bought here

Listings mix new models, pre-orders and used machines. One listing is a 2022 model, and another is a pre-order landing in November 2026. Check whether the price includes delivery to your city, whether that is Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth or Adelaide, and whether setup is included. Compare engine size in cc and power in kW or watts, not the price alone.

What to put in your request

Say the machine type (buggy, side-by-side, utility or electric), whether you want to buy or rent, new or used, the engine size in cc, the number of seats, the year and your city. Add your budget and the use, such as farm work or weekend trails, and whether it is for private land only.

Getting offers through BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the machine in a chat, and the AI asks for missing details such as seats or engine size, then looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Australia. Registered sellers reply with their own offer, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide to exchange them. For related machines see Heavy equipment.
