Coastline Cruising in a Retro-Electric MOKE.
In Clearwater, Tropical Mokes LLC offers eco-friendly, street-legal MOKEs — compact, open-sided buggies designed to ferry up to four people along low-speed streets and around coastal neighborhoods. They pair a retro look with Bluetooth stereo, simple charging, and flexible rental terms that range from a two-hour spin to multi-week use.

Outing Highlights
Street-legal, open-air four-seaters
The MOKEs are built as low-speed, street-legal custom golf carts rated to seat four in bucket seats, and they come with Bluetooth radios and an optional bimini top for light rain or sun protection. Colors are offered based on availability and include white, light blue, mint green, and rose; operator materials also reference a broader palette of up to 13 colors and additional options.
Plug-and-go electric simplicity
Operator information emphasizes simple charging from a standard 110V outlet: a full charge takes roughly eight hours. Materials list battery performance variably — a 25-mile single-charge range is noted in one place, while another section cites up to 40 miles on a full charge — underscoring that range depends on conditions and the operator’s specifications.
Short spins or long stays
Rentals are offered across a wide span of durations, from two-hour sessions up through daily, weekly and monthly options, making the MOKE practical for everything from errands and beach runs to longer-stay local transportation.
What the day feels like
How it feels to drive
Driving a MOKE in Clearwater is an open-air, social way to move around town: the buggy’s low-speed profile makes it suited to streets posted 35 mph or less and to golf-course use, and its Bluetooth stereo and unobstructed sightlines turn short transfers to the beach, shops, or restaurants into a relaxed seaside cruise.
