A Moke—a neighborhood electric vehicle with a top speed of 25 mph and a price tag of between $25,000 and $30,000—is not allowed on Park City bike paths

PARK CITY, Utah — TownLift reader Sam Taylor encountered an interesting vehicle on the bike path near Prospector in Park City on Tuesday evening. While the two occupants described it as “like a golf cart,” a Moke is actually a neighborhood electric vehicle with a top speed of 25 mph and a price tag of between $25,000 and $30,000.

Officer Brandon Smalling with the Park City Police Department confirmed with TownLift that “anything motorized is not allowed on the bike paths; anything without pedals is not allowed.” Thus, it is illegal to drive a Moke, a golf cart, or any other motorized vehicle without pedal assistance on Park City pathways.

Any person found violating the provisions of Park City Municipal Code 10-1-4.5, which governs pathway usage, could be guilty of a Class B misdemeanor.
