The 1000 foot restriction is meant as a rule of thumb for the typical 2 or 4 place fixed gear light aircraft you would normally find available for rent/training or commonly owned by a PPL.
I have never flown a AULA/LSA/Microlight so I am not qualified to offer advice as to what would be the best course of action for the EFATO emergency in this class of aircraft
