TRIKKE Positron Offers Enhanced Mobility, Speed, and Access to School Resource Officers Around the Nation

TRIKKE Positron Offers Enhanced Mobility, Speed, and Access to School Resource Officers Around the Nation

by | Aug 24, 2022 | POSITRON

TRIKKE Positron offers critical school security enhancements during this time of unprecedented need.

As school security becomes increasingly vital, TRIKKE is stepping in to help law enforcement and public safety agencies as they face unprecedented challenges to keep students, teachers, and staff safe at school.

Join Trikke as we continue to empower school resource officers by providing enhanced personal mobility beyond traditional patrol vehicles, enabling a much quicker response time for officers to arrive on scene and ready to react.

The Positron is the ideal personal electric patrol vehicle for any type of campus, operating with ease both indoors and outdoors. Conducting inspections and looking for possible threats with an elevated stance well above crowds, parking lots, and fences providing a clear tactical advantage over mounted bike patrols.

The TRIKKE Positron allows officers to patrol the interior and exterior of schools and surrounding neighborhoods while providing critical access to places cars can’t go, such as sports fields, cafeterias, gymnasiums, classrooms, and hallways. The Positron is completely silent and won’t disturb any classroom or school activity, in addition to allowing school resource officers to establish a constant presence, patrol more frequently, and interact with more people more often. The stealthy non-predictable presence of the vehicle creates a surprise factor.

“The vehicles will help officers move through the campus much quicker than on-foot, therefore minimizing response times in emergencies. They also allow multiple units to converge on the scene in seconds instead of minutes.” said Gildo Beleski, CEO.

Patrolling on a Positron offers the following benefits:

Local news story highlights Atlanta PD’s new police Trikkes

by | Jun 14, 2022 | POSITRON

Three-wheel electric vehicles now patrolling Georgia’s state capital and elsewhere in the Peach State

They’re being hailed as a better and more mobile solution than the infamous Segway, no doubt part of the reason the Atlanta Police Department is grateful for the donation of three Trikke Positrons, courtesy of the Atlanta Downtown Business District. The personal electric vehicles will help “manage crowds and catch bad guys,” according to the local Fox 5 News story Atlanta police set to begin using motorized vehicle in fight against crime.

“I never would have thought in a million years that something like this would be equipment on our streets,” says Chief Rodney Bryant. In the video version of the story, one official calls police Trikkes a “new high-tech tool,” while another says the Segway are becoming “historic artifacts.” Another official was pleased that the Trikke allows officers to see over crowds, sneak up behind purse-snatchers and better navigate traffic among the thousands who visit Atlanta for conventions, festivals, and sporting events.

“The imagination is your only limit [in] its use,” sums up one official at the press conference being covered by the local news outlet.

Before donating the police Trikkes to the Atlanta PD, the Atlanta Downtown Business District had acquired their own electric Trikkes to better serve the downtown region. Now, theirs and the PD’s new Trikkes aren’t the only ones roaming the Peach State. In 2021 alone, the Clarkston PD, the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office, the Georgia Tech University Police Department, and the Savannah State University Police Department all acquired Positrons.

The reasons are simple, says Carsten Krogh, Trikke Tech’s sales rep in the state:

“During times of budget concerns and higher fuel costs, Trikkes offer the best alternative for quietly patrolling the streets, monitoring crowds in any setting, and doing so with a limited harmful footprint on the environment.”

He also says the Trikke’s engineering is responsible for the favorite features of officers who’ve tried the Positron.

“Compared to other options,” says Krogh, “the Trikke has a much more stable platform that also provides a much higher point of view. Also, riding on 100% battery power is a great way for the public to view their local law enforcement with a ‘go-green’ mindset.”

That “go-green” mindset is now helping to maintain law and order in Georgia.

The Positron: quickly becoming the personal electric vehicle of choice for law enforcement officers

The Positron: quickly becoming the personal electric vehicle of choice for law enforcement officers

by | Mar 29, 2022 | POSITRON

Police departments and private security companies across the US are using the TRIKKE Positron – a totally electric personal patrol vehicle that provides quiet, smooth, and efficient operations at a cost of pennies per hour.

Officers are patrolling dense traffic areas downtown, at airports, stadiums, schools, and in your neighborhood – and connecting with people and the communities they serve. They can easily navigate on streets and sidewalks, allowing them to see and be seen above crowds, and to patrol with greater access than in squad cars, much more effectively than on bicycles or foot patrol. They are more approachable, can cover more ground, and provide faster response time.

The Positron is a great tool for community policing.

The Positron is quickly becoming the personal electric vehicle of choice for law enforcement officers – from California’s Bay Area Rapid Transit Police to the Wilmington Police Department in Delaware.

Puerto Rico’s Banco Popular banks on electric security Trikkes

Puerto Rico’s Banco Popular banks on electric security Trikkes

by | Nov 30, 2021 | Defender, POSITRON

How a “lightweight” and “highly efficient vehicle” is taking the island by storm.

When the security director for Puerto Rico’s longest-serving bank happened upon the three-wheel electric mobility vehicle known as the Trikke, he immediately saw the light. Now the financial institution is banking on security Trikkes to help things run smoothly for the company that’s been doing business on the island for over 125 years.

“As Banco Popular’s physical footprint increased, the need to patrol more areas increased,” says Héctor Torres Pérez, Vice President and Director of Corporate Security. “Having an efficient patrol vehicle became a major security requirement.”

Enter the Trikke Positron and Trikke Defender, two security Trikkes that keep paying dividends for the company. Pérez says Banco Popular is “very proud and happy to patrol using Trikkes.” He also praises them as “extremely easy (when it comes to learning how to ride) and very enjoyable (as far as the ride itself).”

Banco Popular Puerto Rico is headquartered in San Juan on a stretch commonly known as La Milla de Oro, or the Golden Mile, in the city’s Hato Rey business district. The bank operates under its parent company, Popular, Inc., a financial services conglomerate that first opened its doors in 1893 when the island was still under Spanish administration.

In 2020, Security Director Pérez saw a demonstration of security Trikkes by Albert Rivera, Trikke Tech’s manufacturer sales representative for Puerto Rico and the Caribbean Islands.

The chance meeting was the start of a beautiful business relationship:

“It’s been a great experience,” says Rivera. “Banco Popular’s Security Department is among the top private security services in Puerto Rico. A lot of security companies follow BP.”

For example, says Rivera, “We just sold a couple of Positrons to a company call Capitol Security for the San Patricio Plaza Mall. The relationship we’ve created with Banco Popular helped us close the deal. BP has a lot of credibility and they love their Trikkes.”

So what’s to love about security Trikkes?

Security Director Pérez calls them “a lightweight, highly efficient, and economic vehicle.” And when comparing them to other options on the market, he says the Trikke is a “much better option due to its maneuverability and it being easy to operate and maintain, as far as overall cost per unit.”

But how do Banco Popular’s customers feel about the bank’s new security Trikkes?

“The public is impressed by the vehicle and its innovative features,” says Pérez. It’s a sentiment echoed by Trikke Rep. Rivera when speaking of Puerto Ricans’ overall response to the Trikke.

“The reaction has been just great,” he says. “Clients and potential clients here are realizing how good and reliable Trikkes are for patrolling the inner city, and how good they’ve been for crime prevention.”

Some of Rivera’s other major clients include the municipal police departments of San Juan, Yauco, and Corozal, and San Juan’s Luis Munoz Marin International Airport, where the Positron is slated to be used by the state police. He also notes roughly nine other police jurisdictions having been using the Trikke Patroller since 2015.

“Police officers are extremely motivated once they learn how to use them,” he says. “It allows them to interact with the community in ways they never did before. The Positron is taking police work to another level.”

Rivera says he expects more and more security operations on the island to embrace the three-wheel mobility vehicle. As for the reason, perhaps Banco Popular’s head of security sums it up best, calling security Trikkes “a totally worthwhile investment for serious security programs.”

Three-wheeling cops in Wheeling, West Virginia, garner local media attention

Three-wheeling cops in Wheeling, West Virginia, garner local media attention

by | Jul 12, 2021 | POSITRON

Personal electric vehicles: ready for police tasks when a typical police car is not the best option.

Police Trikkes are turning heads and having a positive impact on the community of Wheeling, West Virginia, according to several local media stories.

Currently, two Trikke Positron are roaming the metropolitan area bordering the Ohio River and the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, thanks to an anonymous donor.

“Immediately upon trying them, we thought they were really cool,” says Lt. Josh Sanders of the Wheeling Police Department in a story on the Intelligencer/Wheeling News-Register website. According to the article, the anonymous donor loved the idea of police Trikkes as much as the officers themselves.

“It’s just another tool in the tool belt,” says Sgt. Rob Safreed in the same article. “They’re very fun to ride, and I think it’ll be a really good tool for community outreach. You’ll be able to get out there in the community more, and people see you more. Plus, they can really extend the range of a typical foot patrol.”

Also in the article, Officer Sanders talks about the impact the Trikkes have already had. “Everybody wants to know what they are. So community engagement is almost instant by just having the ability to stop, have a conversation and have a positive interaction.”

Meanwhile, in a WTRF-TV story about the department’s “fresh new ride,” the same officer Sanders says of the Trikkes: “They’re silent, they can sneak up on folks. They’re fast. It does not take a whole lot of effort like it would a bicycle or foot patrol.”

The Trikkes have already been deployed at several festivals in the area — including the Fourth of July Festival, the Italian Festival, and Waterfront Wednesdays — and the department plans to use them at future local events.

“Usually we’re on foot — but this will give us a quicker response during festivals and those types of larger gatherings,” says Sanders in the Intelligencer story.

Beyond that, he adds in a WTOV news story, the Trikkes can also be helpful in situations that call for special operations.

“Where are the hot spots? Where is there trouble, what type of trouble is that? As part of that operation, we may deploy vehicles like these,” says Sanders. The special operations commander also sings the Trikke’s praises on the Wheeling Police Department Facebook page:

“Already, several residents have seen the positive impact these new Trikkes are having in their area, by just having the ability to stop, have a conversation and have a positive interaction. Being able to make this addition to the Wheeling PD, with a heartfelt thanks to our anonymous donor, will no doubt increase our visibility, response time and enhance our continued efforts on community policing.”

The department also tells its Facebook followers that the Trikkes are personal electric vehicles ready for police tasks when a typical police car is not the best option.
