O
n November 10, Ecco Motors celebrated the Grand Opening of the Sales Center
in Destin. Scott Lightsey opened Ecco Motors in 2005, mainly doing maintenance
and repair on the golf carts but after only a few years expanded to a 12,000 square
foot building offering street legal and non-street legal carts sales and service along
with storage for the carts. This is the second location and a great one it is, right across from
Regatta Bay. For those who aren’t here year round, they also have carts for rental.
From 10am to 2pm, the grand opening fl owed with people not only interested in the deep-
pocket discounts on new carts, but also discounts on service and the every half hour giveaways
fi lled with local goodies, even some free rentals from Ecco Motors. The biggest prizes awarded
were a Yeti Cooler and a 2018 E-1 Electric Bike valued at $1040. While roaming around the
show rooms looking at the carts, including the colorful signature series that are designable by
the customer, appetizers and drinks like Bloody Marys and Margaritas were served to add some
warmth to this brisk November day.
