Moke Coronado: Made in America, Giving Back to Coronado
Moke America has expanded
into Coronado, CA. The compa-
ny, which has locations across
America, has seen success in La
Jolla for over thirty years. This
prompted them to seek out
Coronado’s beach town. Moke
America is now Coronado’s
ONLY authorized dealer. Col-
leen at Moke America explains
the vehicle to friends, “it’s the
coolest car, as if a hummer and
a golf cart had a baby!”
Coronado has the right audi-
ence as electric cars surge and
golf carts are spotted all over
town. However, Moke Amer-
ica is more than a car dealer-
ship. There is a great deal of
philanthropy, predominantly
in the sports sector. Colleen
elaborates that the Moke team
is made up of athletes them-
selves and Moke America was
the official car of Coronado’s
Crown City Classic 4th of July
event. Next up, Moke America
is working on being a sponsor
of the City of Coronado Police’s
golf tournament. Also on the
horizon, Colleen shares, “We
would love to partner up with
the Islander Sport Foundation.”
So… what exactly is a Moke?
According to Moke America:
From British classic to Carib-
bean icon, Moke has become
a symbol of fun in the sun.
Introducing Moke America: A
18
WWW.GOLFCAROPTIONS.COM
20th-century collectible car
reinvented with 21st-century
green-friendly electric power,
available exclusively in the USA.
More specifically, it is the
customizable, all electric,
and eco-friendly alternative
to Coronado’s golf carts. It
charges from a standard outlet
and has steel body construc-
tion, providing better safety for
all passengers. Colleen high-
lights some of the lesser con-
sidered features, “it’s great to
put a few paddle boards or surf
boards on top of, and it is com-
pletely dog, beach, and child
friendly! It’s very easy to clean.”
She also shares stats that most
trips from home are within
three miles, making it perfect
for zooming across the island.
While owners can choose
different colors (for various as-
pects of the car: body, bumper,
grill, roll bar), different seating,
and a variety of top shade
structures, it can also be
designed as advertising
for your business.
There is also a lot of nos-
talgia in the Moke. It can
be seen in the ’50s-’60s
driven by iconic celebrities
such as Brigitte Bardot,
Princess Margaret, Emper-
or Rosko and the Beach
Boys. It also is used in a
James Bond film. Colleen
laughs that at first look
most reactions are, “what is
that crazy, safari, jeep looking
thing?” After curiosity brings in
onlookers, they not only learn
that “it’s cool, fun and the style
is engaging,” but also that “it’s
not flipping over. It takes an
impact and handles the dips in
Coronado well.”
