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
Boost response times, elevate visibility, and connect with the community like never before.
Patrolling in today’s world demands more than ever before. Officers and security professionals need tools that help them move faster, stand taller, and connect better. Trikke electric patrol vehicles deliver exactly that.
Designed to bridge the gap between foot patrols and squad cars, Trikke’s three-wheeled platforms empower teams to cover more ground with speed, confidence, and elevated visibility. Officers can easily navigate streets, sidewalks, parking garages, campuses, event spaces, and even crowded urban areas where traditional vehicles fall short.

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.
From bustling quads to quiet corridors, Trikkes are redefining how campus security teams connect, respond, and cover ground.
Across the country, colleges and universities are embracing Trikke patrol vehicles as a smarter way to keep campuses moving, secure, and engaged. These all-electric, three-wheeled vehicles allow campus police and security teams to patrol both indoors and outdoors with speed, agility, and a commanding presence — while remaining quiet enough to foster friendly, approachable interactions with students and staff.
“With a Trikke, you’re just cruising right through the environment and covering a lot more area with a lot less energy,” says Captain James Smith Jr., Dallas College Police Department (TX). That ability to move effortlessly through courtyards, hallways, and athletic grounds not only improves response times but also increases visibility, a critical factor in building community trust.
Ben Justus, Security Supervisor at Pensacola Christian Academy, points to performance: “The Trikke Defender has stepped in as an excellent replacement … It has significantly more speed than a Segway.” For many institutions, that speed translates into quicker responses to incidents and more proactive engagement.
CEO Gildo Beleski sums it up: “College campuses offer a unique challenge with a combination of terrains … With personal mobility vehicles, it’s possible to rush directly to the scene without facing the hurdles and obstacles police cars face.”
These proven benefits are why the following institutions — from major research universities to specialized colleges — have already made the switch:
California State University, Northridge
Catholic University of America, DC
Clark Atlanta University
Dallas College
Deloitte University
Duke University
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
Fayetteville State University Police
Georgia State University
Georgia Tech University
Hudson Valley Community College
Jackson State University
Johns Hopkins University
Katy Independent School District
Kansas City University
LSUHSC New Orleans
Miami Dade College
Norfolk State University
North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University
Officers praise the Positron’s agility, comfort, and community presence after hands-on orientation.
Trikke electric patrol vehicles are a trusted choice for law enforcement, police departments, and private security teams nationwide.
Most recently, we delivered a new fleet of Positrons to the Burbank Airport Police Department, enhancing mobility, visibility, and response times across one of the busiest airports in the Los Angeles area.
But delivery is just the beginning.
We provide comprehensive training to ensure officers know how to ride safely, making sure each officer is confident riding and maintaining their vehicle for daily patrol.
What Officers Are Saying
The feedback from officers at Burbank Airport was immediate and enthusiastic:
“It’s excellent, actually. I’ve ridden motorcycles all my life. It was very natural getting on it—just getting used to the body lean and everything else. But standing upright and the threshold braking, and then being able to turn in tight, tight turns, as well as apexing corners—I got pretty comfortable with it very quickly. I was very natural on it. A++.”
— Christopher Cabral, Burbank Airport police officer
“Just did an orientation on these Trikkes and I was impressed. Wasn’t difficult. I’m a motor officer from my prior agency, and so I think having a little balance experience helped. These are nice. Cool. Fun.”
— Randy Lloyd, Burbank Airport police officer
Burbank Airport Police officers are now equipped with a fleet designed for modern patrol demands—fast, agile, and rider-friendly.
