The ultimate patrol vehicle now comes with more power for police forces that need it.
Trikke Professional Mobility is proud to introduce the Trikke Positron XL, the 72-volt, battery-powered electric patrol vehicle made for those times when law enforcement needs to amp up its capabilities to keep up with the increasing challenges of community policing.
The Positron is quickly becoming the personal electric vehicle of choice for more and more police departments, from the Bay Area Rapid Transit Police in Northern California to the Wheeling, West Virginia PD. Be it through already-existing models — the standard 60V AWD and the Elite 72V — the Positron’s high-performance features are an ideal solution for reliable green transportation. Each three-wheel vehicle comes complete with all-wheel drive, full suspension, and disc brakes, and serves as a stealth-like, emission-free transport for all-weather, continuous operation both indoors and outdoors and on and off-road. The Positron’s maneuverability and versatility make it an excellent tool for navigating crowded areas and interacting with the community. In congested locales, it can provide a faster response time than cars, making it an efficient and effective option for any operation.
“But sometimes more is better,” says Gildo Beleski, CEO of Trikke Tech, Inc, Trikke Professional Mobility’s parent company. “The newest model, the Positron XL, is fitted with new shoes and the much-sought-after wider wheels for navigating rough terrain with comfort, confidence, and increased safety.”
Beleski, the Positron’s chief engineer, notes that the XL frame has a longer wheelbase while the deck is two inches longer and one inch taller. The result: the steering geometry has been improved for working effortlessly with the new tires.
Another innovation, says Beleski: “all three wheels are now identical, providing extra grip and cushion for riding the not-so-smooth terrain of inner-city streets.”
Additionally, the wider tires allow for heavier riders (up to 350 lbs) and can be ridden with lower air pressure, which makes the XL more forgiving when hitting irregularities such as potholes and bumps.
“The power and torque have been increased to a whooping 3.5KW – a 17% increase over the Elite version,” notes Beleski, “and the XL employs new heavy-duty, custom brakes with larger brake pads for enhanced stopping power.”
While the standard and elite models remain the best options for mixed use indoors and outdoors — the new Positron XL is now the ultimate tool when it comes to conquering the (sometimes) mean streets of the city.

The mobility vehicle offers several advantages over traditional forms of patrolling.
Trikke, the industry leader in reliable alternative transportation for law enforcement agencies, is thrilled to be an exhibitor at the World Police Summit, the self-described “world’s largest convention for policing and law enforcement officials,” from March 7-9, 2023, at the World Trade Centre in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The summit will include over 200 speakers, 250 exhibitors, and more than 15,000 attendees who will explore emerging technologies and cutting-edge solutions designed to redefine the future of policing.
“Visitors will meet the best electric personal patrol vehicle in its category,” said Gildo Beleski, Trikke CEO and Chief Engineer. “Our flagship model, the Positron 72V Elite, has speeds of up to 44 mph, and can go as far as 35 miles on a single charge.”
Trikke has been a frequent exhibitor at law enforcement and security-related shows, including the annual gatherings of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, the National Sheriffs Association, and the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators. However, this will be the company’s first foray into a trade show on the world stage.
“We hope to expose our products and technology to quite a different market,” said Beleski. “Also, we want to establish commercial partnerships with local representatives and learn how we can customize our vehicles to their needs.”
Trikke Professional Vehicles are prevalent in the United States, but recently, the UAE Armed Forces obtained a fleet of Positrons. Additionally, the Dubai World Trade Centre — the home of the summit — deploys the Trikke Defender for its security patrols.
“Our vehicles offer law enforcement a mobility solution that bridges the gap between traditional squad cars and foot patrol,” said Beleski. “The Positron can navigate sidewalks, streets, parking garages, and hallways, and allows for a quicker response time than cars in congested areas.”

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:

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.
