UK's Premier Importer of Indian Auto Rickshaw TukTuks & one of the official suppliers to Elephant Family - London TukTuks

The first Tuk Tuk UK Auto Rickshaw started life transporting three ladies dressed in pink jumpsuits across the UK for Genesis breast cancer charity. One alcohol fuelled evening, Tuk Tuk UK Director, Robert Leggett was at a charity auction and decided to bid on this very Auto Rickshaw. This is where our journey began

As I’m sure you’re aware, Indians don’t seem to give a Tuk about road safety. That’s why TukTuk UK’s team of qualified auto technicians work tirelessly to amend and adapt the Tuks for use in the UK. Every single TukTuk has to be individually tested at a VOSA centre prior to being UK road approved. You can try and do this yourself if you want, but beware it took us over 7 months to get our first Tuk approved. It’s been a really interesting journey, but we are now officially the UK’s largest importer of Tuk Tuks. We have a vast array of spare parts and experience and want to encourage as many people as possible to seize the day and get a Tuk Tuk. No home should be without one!

More than 10% of our profits or vehicles go to charity.

Sometimes that is money, sometimes it is a vehicle. A tuk tuk stops people in a way a van never will, and that is most of the point. People look, then they come over, then they ask. It does the hard part of fundraising for you.

It is the side of the job we are proudest of, and the part that never really feels like work.

The question we get asked most: are you actually allowed one of these in this country?

You are.

Every vehicle we bring in goes through Single Vehicle Approval — the inspection a three-wheeler has to pass before it can be registered here. Once it is through, it is registered, taxed and MOT'd like anything else on the road.

A standard UK car licence is all you need as long as you're aged over 21, or a full A1 motorcycle licence.

No special test. No paperwork left over for you to sort out. It arrives ready to drive.

Bajaj RE 4S from £6,587 + VAT.

Most of these do not go to businesses.

They go to people who have wanted one for years and quietly assumed you weren't allowed one in this country. You are. That is usually most of the conversation.

A standard UK car licence is all you need as long as you're aged over 21, or a full A1 motorcycle licence. It arrives taxed, MOT'd and road legal, on our very own Tuk Tuk UK van, wherever you are in the country.

The part nobody sees.

Before one of these can be registered in this country it has to pass Single Vehicle Approval — the inspection a three-wheeler has to clear before it is allowed on the road. It is the slowest part of the job and the part we do not rush.

Then we tax it and check it over, so it reaches you road legal rather than as a project to sort out.

We hold parts on the shelf in Manchester too, which matters more than it sounds. It is the difference between a part in the post this week and a vehicle sat waiting.

If you have ever been put off one of these because it looked like a headache, this is the bit that takes the headache away.

What's due at the warehouse soon?

Mostly Bajaj RE 4S — petrol, four-stroke, twin-spark. The one we sell most of, and the one most people have in their head when they picture a tuk tuk.

Yellow, red, or white. Or a full colour custom wrap can go on for £950 + VAT — a pattern, a plain colour, your own artwork, your business.

Second-hand ones pass through us as well, so it is always worth asking what is here rather than assuming.

Every vehicle goes through Single Vehicle Approval before it can be registered, and leaves us taxed, MOT'd and road legal.

Bajaj RE 4S from £6,587 + VAT.

Not everyone wants a plain one.

Whatever your idea, Tuk Tuk UK can bring it to life. Anyone for a Pina Colada?

A full colour custom wrap can go on for £950 + VAT — a pattern, a plain colour, your own artwork, your business. It goes on before the vehicle leaves us, so it arrives looking the way you pictured it rather than something to sort out later.

If you have been carrying an idea around for one of these for years, it is usually less mad than you think.

Bajaj RE 4S from £6,587 + VAT.

More than 10% of our profits or vehicles go to charity.

That was the arrangement from the start, and it has stayed that way as the business has grown. It isn't a campaign or a round-up at the checkout. It comes out of the company every year, quietly.

Some of it goes out as money. Some of it goes out as vehicles — we built one of our Tuk Boxes for the Rosie May Foundation, and we have put tuk tuks behind a fair few fundraisers over the years.

A tuk tuk is a difficult thing to be miserable around. It seems a waste not to point that at something useful.

How buying one actually works.

Most people come to us after years of half-wondering whether you're even allowed one in this country. You are.

We talk through what's in the yard and you choose a colour or design. Every vehicle we import then goes through Single Vehicle Approval, the inspection a three-wheeler has to pass before it can be registered here. That is the part that takes the longest.

After that we tax it, MOT it and check it over, so it leaves us road legal and ready to drive.

Then it comes to you on our own Tuk Tuk UK van, wherever you are in the country. Nothing for you to arrange at your end.

A standard UK car licence is all you need as long as you're aged over 21, or a full A1 motorcycle licence.

The Bajaj RE 4S starts from £6,587 + VAT.

09/10/2026

One of ours, at home on the drive.

People often ask what happens after they buy one. Not much, which is rather the point. It arrives road legal, taxed and MOT'd on our own Tuk Tuk UK van, and it's yours to drive that afternoon.

Through the winter most of them live in a garage and come out on the dry days, but they’re perfectly happy in Indian monsoons too. If anything does need doing, the RE 4S is a simple petrol engine with nothing exotic about it, and the parts sit on our shelf in Manchester.

The quiet months are a good time to buy one. They also make a fairly memorable Christmas present, if someone in your house has been dropping hints for a decade.

08/10/2026

A cream one, ready to go.

This is the Bajaj RE 4S — petrol, four-stroke, twin-spark. The one we sell most of, and the one most people have in their head when they picture a tuk tuk.

It leaves us through Single Vehicle Approval, road legal, taxed and MOT'd, and arrives on our own Tuk Tuk UK van wherever you are in the country.

From £6,587 + VAT. We usually have a few second-hand ones about as well, and a full colour custom wrap can go on for £950+VAT if cream isn't your colour.

A standard UK car licence is all you need as long as you're aged over 21, or a full A1 motorcycle licence.
