Moke is back with an all-electric highway-legal variant of its classic runabout.
Remember the Moke? Sold out of the United Kingdom in the Seventies and Eighties, it was a mini Jeep-looking four-seater with a small engine meant for beach towns and small journeys. Now it's officially back for the first time in 40 years, and this time, it's all-electric and apparently highway-legal, according to the company.Moke International, still based in the U.K., revealed the Californian on Monday.
Like the original, the Moke Californian is extremely basic inside, with only the most important gauges on display in the dash. There are four seats and no roof, allowing occupants to take in the fresh air as they're cruising along.Moke hasn't released pricing or availability timing for the Californian just yet. It also hasn't revealed how the car will be register-able for the road in the U.S., as it certainly doesn't pass any of our modern safety standards.
