FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PORT CLINTON, OHIO — [April 2026] — Moke America Ohio is proud to announce the arrival of the 2026 Vintage Replica Electric Moke, a major evolution of the iconic open-air cruiser—now fully street-legal and no longer limited as a low-speed vehicle (LSV). This upgrade marks a significant milestone for Lake Erie’s coastal communities, offering residents and visitors a new way to experience life along the water.
The 2026 Moke delivers a powerful combination of enhanced performance, expanded accessibility, and timeless design, making it a perfect fit for the unique lifestyle of Ohio’s island and peninsula regions.
A Game-Changer for Lake Erie Living
From Put-in-Bay to Catawba Island, and communities like Bay Point and Johnson’s Island, the shift to a fully street-legal Moke opens up entirely new possibilities.
Previously restricted by LSV limitations, drivers can now:
- Travel seamlessly across higher-speed residential roads
- Confidently cross causeways, bridges, and connectors
- Use their Moke for more than short-distance trips—expanding into daily lifestyle transportation
For residents in these waterfront communities, that means fewer limitations and more freedom—whether it’s heading to the marina, grabbing dinner, or cruising the shoreline at sunset.
Performance Meets Coastal Practicality
The 2026 Moke is engineered for both fun and function, featuring:
- Top speed of up to 45 MPH
- 75–80 mile range per charge
- Lithium battery system with standard 110V charging (full charge in ~6 hours)
This enhanced capability allows drivers to go farther and faster—without sacrificing the relaxed, open-air experience that defines the Moke lifestyle.
Iconic Design, Modern Comfort
Staying true to its vintage roots, the 2026 model retains the classic Mini Moke silhouette while integrating modern upgrades, including:
- LED lighting
- Backup camera technology
- Premium lithium-ion powertrain
- Customizable options with 13 body colors, multiple seating styles (including wicker), and trim packages
Each Moke is hand-crafted with a high percentage of American-made components, blending heritage design with modern innovation.
A Perfect Fit for the Local Economy & Lifestyle
The arrival of the street-legal 2026 Moke represents more than just a new vehicle—it’s a boost to the region’s tourism, local business engagement, and waterfront culture.
For communities like Put-in-Bay and Catawba Island:
- Visitors gain a memorable, eco-friendly way to explore
- Property owners enjoy a stylish, practical alternative to golf carts
- Local businesses benefit from increased mobility and foot traffic
For residents of Bay Point and Johnson’s Island, it enhances everyday convenience while elevating the overall coastal lifestyle experience.
Limited Availability for 2026
To maintain exclusivity, the 2026 Moke will be available in limited quantities nationwide, with strong demand expected in coastal and resort markets like Lake Erie.
