Trikke Positron vehicles support security teams across one of motorsports’ biggest stages
When IndyCar returned to the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach in April, Trikke Professional Mobility was along for the ride, continuing a growing partnership that began during the 2024 season.
Now in 2026, that partnership continues across multiple events, including the upcoming Indianapolis 500, where speed, coordination, and mobility are critical behind the scenes.
At Long Beach, two new Positron Version 3 units were deployed as part of the ongoing partnership, supporting the IndyCar security team as they navigated one of the most complex event environments in motorsports.
Mobility that matches the moment
For Director of Safety and Security Brian Mahon, the value shows up immediately in the field.
“You’re elevated. You can see over the crowd. It gives us more visibility and lets us get places faster than walking,” he says. “We’re constantly moving between pit lane, the medical center, the media center, the paddock, and our trailer. Being able to do that quickly is huge.”
That constant movement defines race-day operations. Security teams are circulating, responding, and repositioning across large, crowded spaces where traditional vehicles can struggle.
That is where Trikke patrol movement fits naturally.
Built for large-scale event environments
At a venue like Long Beach, where tens of thousands of fans fill a multi-block footprint, mobility is about efficiency, access, and control.
Mike Bates, part of the IndyCar security team, puts it simply.
“Mobility is everything. These are nimble. You can move anywhere. Even in a crowd, you can still navigate easily.”
Compared to golf carts or gas-powered scooters, the Positron platform allows teams to move continuously without the same limitations in maneuverability or availability.
“It is not about going fast,” Bates says. “It is about getting from point A to point B.”
A natural extension of the operator
For trained personnel, many with law enforcement or motorcycle backgrounds, the learning curve is minimal.
After just a few events, the vehicles become second nature.
“It starts to feel like part of your body,” Bates says. “The way it moves, you move with it.”
That connection matters in high-demand environments where response time, awareness, and control all work together.
Visibility, validation, and scale
For Trikke Professional Mobility, the IndyCar partnership is about proving performance in one of the most demanding live event settings in the country.
“IndyCar is the pinnacle of motorsports in the U.S.,” says Gildo Beleski, CEO of Trikke Professional Mobility. “Being part of these events gives us exposure, but it also validates our technology alongside everything else you see here.”
In an environment filled with advanced systems, the simplicity and effectiveness of the platform stand out.
“It fits perfectly,” Beleski says. “You have people, vehicles, and equipment moving everywhere. The Trikke works naturally in that space.”
From Long Beach to Indianapolis
As the season continues, Trikke vehicles will remain part of the operational landscape at IndyCar events across the country.
From the streets of Long Beach to the brickyard of the Indianapolis 500, the goal is the same.
More visibility.
More control.
More ground covered.
It is a shift in how security moves.
