Positron electric patrol vehicles boost officer mobility, visibility, and community engagement across the island.
The Cataño Police Department in Puerto Rico has officially joined the Trikke patrol movement, deploying the all-electric Positron to enhance local patrol operations. Located just across the bay from San Juan, the small but active coastal city of Cataño faces unique patrol challenges—from crowded waterfront areas to narrow streets—making agility and officer visibility essential.
Training for the department’s new Positron fleet was led by Albert Rivera, Certified Patrol Trainer and Sales Executive for Trikke Professional Mobility, who has spent more than a decade helping police agencies across Puerto Rico and Latin America integrate electric patrol mobility into their operations.
“Trikke has successfully established a strong presence in Puerto Rico with law enforcement and public-safety operations across the island,” Rivera said. “The Positron has proven to be reliable, efficient, and environmentally friendly, helping police departments and security agencies improve mobility while reducing fuel costs and emissions.”
Already deployed in over a dozen municipalities and security agencies—including major departments such as San Juan, Isabela, and Humacao—the Positron has become a familiar sight across the island. Each new deployment adds to what Rivera calls “a wave of modernization” in community policing.
“Over the past 10 years, we’ve partnered with several municipalities and government agencies to integrate electric Trikkes into their patrol and community programs,” he said. “The feedback from officers and local officials is been overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the rapid response and surveillance detail only the Positron can provide.”
The first impressions in Cataño have been strong. Just days after their initial deployment, the department request a quote for three additional units—a clear sign of satisfaction and early success.
That kind of response isn’t unusual. Across the U.S. and the Caribbean, Trikke customers frequently come back for more, with a remarkable rate of re-orders from departments that see the results firsthand.
When agencies reinvest, it’s proof that the product performs in the field: reducing officer fatigue, expanding coverage, and improving community interaction—all while cutting operating costs.
“I am very proud to be part of the Trikke team since 2009,” Rivera added, “and to have the privilege of training law enforcement agencies in the Positron’s operation. Seeing the positive impact these vehicles bring to officers and communities makes every deployment meaningful.”
With departments like Cataño leading the way, Puerto Rico continues to stand out as one of Trikke’s strongest territories for law enforcement adoption. From coastal towns to international airports, agencies across the island are proving what’s possible when mobility meets innovation.

From terminals to tarmacs, major airports are using Trikkes to boost visibility and efficiency at busy travel hubs.
Airports present a uniquely complex security environment. Sprawling terminals, congested concourses, multi-level parking garages, and heavy foot traffic all demand a mobility solution that’s agile, reliable, and visible. That’s why airports across the U.S. are turning to Trikke patrol vehicles to enhance their operations and elevate the travel experience.
Trikke’s three-wheeled, battery-powered patrol units are now a proven solution at airports from Burbank, California, to Orlando and Puerto Rico.
As Trikke CEO Gildo Beleski explains:
“Airport law enforcement departments are taking crowd control and security operations to new heights, thanks to all-terrain, electric patrol Trikkes.”
Real voices from the field
These versatile vehicles help officers maintain a visible presence, respond swiftly, and stay connected with the traveling public.
At Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, Sergeant Michael Schreacke notes:
“The Trikke is a favorite among officers due to its ease of use and effectiveness in maintaining a strong officer presence in terminals and parking garages. Not only are they easy to ride, but they also provide a rapid response in situations such as medical emergencies, ongoing fights, and searching for missing individuals or runaways.”
At Hollywood Burbank Airport, officers shared their first impressions after hands-on training:
“It’s excellent, actually. It was very natural getting on it—tight turns, as well as apexing corners. I got pretty comfortable with it very quickly. A++.” — Officer Robert Hynes
“Just did an orientation on these Trikkes and I was impressed. These are nice. Cool. Fun.” — Sergeant Michael Gonzales
Those are just a few of the voices from airports already using Trikkes—and their feedback highlights exactly why these patrol vehicles stand out. Here’s a closer look at what makes them so effective in busy travel environments.
Key benefits for airport security
• Elevated visibility and presence. The stand-up riding posture gives officers a commanding vantage point while keeping them approachable in busy terminals and parking structures.
• Agility and maneuverability. Trikkes navigate tight turns, ramps, and indoor/outdoor transitions with ease—ideal for concourses, hallways, and garages.
• Extended coverage with minimal effort. Compared to foot or bicycle patrols, officers can cover more ground, respond faster, and remain alert throughout their shift.
• Quiet, zero-emission operation. Electric propulsion enables discreet patrols and indoor deployment without emissions or engine noise.
• Professional image. The sleek, modern design reinforces an airport’s commitment to innovation and public engagement.
Why Trikke patrollers work in airports
Airports combine indoor and outdoor zones, multi-level structures, pedestrian flow, and operational urgency. The Trikke Positron and Defender are engineered to handle those transitions seamlessly, delivering continuous patrol capability without switching vehicles. It’s a proven, real-world mobility solution already trusted by airport security agencies nationwide and abroad.
These proven benefits are why the following airports—ranging from regional hubs to major international gateways—have already made the switch:
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, Texas
Denver International Airport, Colorado
Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, Michigan
Hollywood Burbank Airport, California
King Khalid International Airport, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Las Américas International Airport, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, Louisiana
Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport, Puerto Rico

Trikkes now part of Waterfront operations—boosting mobility and community reach.
Seattle’s Emergency Services Unit has officially added two Trikke Positron 72V Elite vehicles to its fleet, marking a shift in how officers patrol parkland, pedestrian zones, and waterfront walkways.
In a recent Seattle Times feature on Waterfront Park security, the Positron appeared in action—fully integrated but not yet named. We’re honored Seattle ESU selected the 72V Elite model, powered by a quick‑swap lithium‑ion system capable of 30 mph and built to cover miles on end. Trikke patrol vehicles give officers a higher vantage point in pedestrian areas, quieter operation than traditional carts, and a chance to interact more naturally with park visitors.
Seattle ESU teams are known for their rapid-response and community-connect approach—not just securing zones but engaging citizens in real time. With the addition of Trikke Positrons, they can now patrol more efficiently, respond faster to incidents, and elevate public trust through visibility and accessibility.
