Welcome to Moke America Coeur D’Alene!
The Iconic Moke Has Been Turning Heads Since The ’60s
ABOUT MOKE America
From British classic to Caribbean icon, Moke has become a symbol of fun in the sun. Introducing Moke America: A 20th-century collectible car reinvented with 21st-century green-friendly electric power, available exclusively in the USA.
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—more legroom, expanded trunk space, a kickin’ sound system, and sex appeal. The Moke stays true to its roots while keeping its headlights on the future.
MOKE’S 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, Emperor Rosko 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 became beloved by stars, surfers and Caribbean travelers. Moke became synonymous with easy breezy island chic.
EYES ON THE FUTURE WITH A NOD TO THE PAST
At Moke America, we have reengineered the entire car, while keeping Moke’s classic design and spirit alive. We made the car bigger, wider and stronger. Our car is 2,300 pounds. It’s the heaviest Moke ever built. It feels sturdier than the old Mokes. We raised the wheel from a 13-inch wheel to a 14-inch wheel, so it’s taller. We redesigned the windshield so the glass is larger, stands across farther and is higher. We implemented a five step E-Dip process to control the quality of the paint. We also do undercarriage rust proofing to prevent corrosion.
IT’S ELECTRIC
Most importantly, we wanted the Moke to be 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 Mokes 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.
