Who uses Trikke patrol vehicles? These colleges and universities

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.”
