Introducing Moke America : A 20th-century collectible car reinvented with 21st-century green-friendly electric power . Now offered in Canada exclusively by Albion Golf Cars of Toronto .
The Moke ( rhymes with “ bloke ”) is far from a museum piece . Our electric car is versatile , carbon-free and efficient . This upgraded version has more leg-room , expanded trunk space , a kick-ass sound system and sex appeal . The Moke stays true to its roots while keeping its headlights on the future .
Moke - History
What began as a military invention for the British army in the late 1950s became a cultural touch point with celebrity fans like Brigitte Bardot , Princess Margaret , James Bond and the Beach Boys . Created by the British Motor Company and Alec Issigonis , the father of the original Austin Mini , the Moke was designed to be combat ready , a car that could be parachuted from the skies . While its life as a military vehicle didn ’ t last too long , the open-air car has become beloved by stars , surfers , and Caribbean travelers . Moke became synonymous with easy breezy island chic .
Moke – Today
Today ’ s Moke is entirely reengineered while keeping Moke ’ s classic design and spirit alive . The car is bigger , wider and stronger . The car is
2,300 pounds . It ’ s the heaviest Moke ever built . It feels sturdier than the old Moke and has been raised from a 13-inch wheel to a 14-inch wheel , so it ’ s taller . The Moke uses a five-step E-Dip process to control the quality of the paint ; the undercarriage is rust-proofed to prevent corrosion .
More of a car than a golf cart , the Moke sells between $ 23,500 and $ 28,000 .
Moke - It ’ s Electric !
Most importantly , the new Moke is green . There ’ s an electric revolution in Europe , and countries like the Netherlands are going to have entirely electric cars by 2024 . It was obvious that this endeavor had to be electric .
The old Moke had engines that were very noisy . With ours , it ’ s silent when you drive . You can charge it with a 110-outlet . It plugs into any household outlet . Eight hours gets a full charge , and a full charge can get you almost forty miles of drive time .
Moke America is a Low-Speed Vehicle ( LSV ) with a maximum speed of 25 MPH . That makes it street legal in all 50 states . In Canada , your local county has to approve public street use .
The Moke is perfect for Canadian ’ s looking for a unique vehicle to patrol at the Cottage , Trailer Park , Hobby Farm , or wherever a lower speed electric vehicle is “ cool ”.
