BEACH BUGGY, REBOOTED

Jaunt's Electric Mini Moke Redefines Beach Cruisin'

- 

THERE'S a specific kind of grin that a Moke pulls out of you. It's the open-air, elbows-out, hair-in-the-breeze smile that says, “Errands can wait.” Australia's Jaunt Motors' new electric Moke leans hard into that grin and then future-proofs it.

JAUNT hides the EV brains behind a pop-up charge port and a new gauge set. 3.3 kW bi-directional system means you can plug-in and run electric device from your Moke - or charge another EV!

From a distance, it's a pure icon: upright windshield, bathtub shell, and canvas top. Up close, you spot the tells: a popup charge port instead of a fuel cap, a modern gauge set where Smiths dials used to live, and a near-silent drivetrain that swaps putt-putt for instant smiles. This isn't a one-off or a backyard science project. It's a fully engineered, government body-compliant, road-legal restomod you can order today, with deliveries targeting 2026.

Keep the Charm, Delete the Anxiety

Before we jump in: Jaunt’s vision starts with the Moke but doesn’t end there. CEO and co-founder Dave Budge says the team is scaling its engineered EV platforms across other icons, including the original Range Rover, Volkswagen Kombi, and further Porsche and Mini classics, so they're not just drivable but truly reliable and sustainable for the next generation. "This isn't about reinventing the car," Budge says. "It's about fixing what wasn't great and preserving what was."
