See How Agencies Utilize and Share Their Testimonials with the Trikke DEFENDER and POSITRON
“We were looking for a solution to get around on the venues from the medical to the pits to all the different turns and the different garages and wanted to get away from gas and also had to have maneuverability. The TRIKKE solve both. They are super maneuverable. One of the advantages I was surprised about is the height advantage. When you’re on it, it gives you a clear view over the crowd which helps with the mobility of it.
The balance and the height make the TRIKKE perfect for what we were looking for. It’s the most intuitive vehicle I have ever been on.”
The Trikke Positron allows officers to get around in barricaded areas were traffic is not allowed but crowded with people. It also allows downtown patrol and a more personal community encounter. Children are also fascinated and are able to approach the officer in a way that is less intimidating. Basically a principle similar to Segways.
The Trikke Positron gives our deputies the ability to work in areas that are not accessible to vehicles. They also provide a great opportunity to stop and talk with people in the community and join in on rides.
“Trikkes have a distinctive appearance that captures attention, breaks the ice, and allows security personnel to engage with the public. I have observed positive interactions where visitors and security staff leave conversations that started about a Trikke, on friendly terms, often addressing each other by name. These interactions help to build relationships and contribute to a safer campus environment.”
Lt. Sanders said Wheeling Police already have had a positive impact in the area over the past couple of weeks while officers have been practicing with them.
“Everybody wants to know what they are,” he said. “So community engagement is almost instant by just having the ability to stop, have a conversation and have a positive interaction.”
“It’s been a pleasure working with you and the Trikke Team. Truly one of the best transportation products for Security in the market.”
“We love the solid tires on smooth pavements (which is about 80 percent of our sites), some rougher terrain can be a little rocky at time and can cause vibration. Stopping is smooth, turning radius is not as sharp with air tires but it’s a good compromise. Overall, I would highly recommend the solid tires as I feel it’s an excellent improvement and keep any maintenance to the minimum.”
“The Trikke Defender has stepped in as an excellent replacement,” says Ben Justus, security supervisor for Pensacola Christian College. “It has significantly more speed than a Segway, which has improved our mobility.”
“I really enjoy using the POSITRON,” says Lieutenant Brendon Barth of the Atlanta PD’s Video Integration Center. “It has great mobility, speed, handling and visibility. I’m able to ride on the street and go places cars can’t go. It’s perfect around parks and crowds.”
That’s less fuel, less maintenance on the vehicles that we’re using. It’s green initiative friendly.”
“The marathon on 5/15 was our Commencement ceremonies. Hugely important day for the University. We were high visibility and received countless positive comments and smiles from students and their families… it was pretty awesome!”
“The TRIKKE Defender has expanded our range of operation in addition to allowing us to mobilize more of our work force to accomplish our mission”.
“The Trikke Positron is so effective. We have been able to give more traffic tickets when using the Positron in the inner city, than the 9 cars and 4 motorcycles we have in our fleet.”
“The Trikke EV has many uses on a police force, you can be much more observant and much more in touch than driving around in a car. Walking a foot beat is probably the best way to find crime and snoop around in alley ways, etc., but the Trikke lets you do this faster.” “Stealth qualities are a great benefit.” “The Deputies cover a lot of territory with ease.” “The Trikke EV can be folded up and put in the trunk.” “We were able to ride them right into the elevator.”
“I will say that the overall experience with Trikke Positron has been far more superior. The unit is nicer and easier to operate than a Segway every way. I look forward to our continued partnership. We just ordered another unit so we will have two on site by end of year”.
Our communities have seen great success in the past year with our community policing strategies and targeted patrols. With these new Trikkes, our officers will be very visible, but also be able to traverse more ground quickly. Combining our efforts with MPD’s Summer Crime Initiative will help reduce violent crimes across the city.
“I personally prefer the Trikke because it goes faster than I can ever pedal,” said Lewis, who is a member of the bike unit. “Also, when deploying on a bicycle there is always a possibly that I may have to engage a suspect to successfully take him in to custody. On a Trikke you simple dismount and contact the suspect having exerted zero energy trying to catch up to them – this in my opinion puts me in a position of advantage.”
“The advantages of TRIKKEs over bicycles are their exemption from physical ability tests, advanced equipment, enhanced visibility, and suitability for patrolling specific areas such as parking garages. These factors make TRIKKEs a valuable asset for law enforcement and other applications.”
“The Trikke Defender has provided our Security Professionals with a superior platform to patrol designated areas of responsibility. As one stands on the Trikke, patrol officers have a better view of their AOR. The Trikke is also more visible than carts, and has numerous safety features that allow for a safer experience than a cart, or bicycle. It’s much easier to handle than a bike, and is much more forgiving for the various physical conditioning levels of our Security Professionals. Moreover, the Trikke is a more cost-effective option for clients and requires less maintenance. With faster and more efficient coverage, officers can respond to incidents more quickly than on foot, carts or cars.”
“The Trikke gives all the flexibility, access and mobility of a bike, with the added advantage of not having to exert as much physical effort”.
“The Trikke puts you in a more heads-up position for better visibility.”
“I’ve seen the Defender at the IACP last year and knew right away after the Demo this was the platform for our agency. We purchased two and I’m budgeting two more for 2019. We needed something for special events that was “user and officer friendly”, I could not be more pleased with our purchase.”
“It is easy to see over people as you ride around or through crowds.”
“Great mobility, quick response when needed. Allows greater visibility, easy to maneuver.”
“The Trikke is easy to maneuver indoors and outdoors. It is awesome for changing perceptions of safety and security presence. Patients, visitors and staff all smile when I conduct patrols on Trikke.”
The Trikke Positron is a game-changer for campus security. It’s far less intimidating than a traditional police car, making officers appear more approachable while still maintaining a strong presence. On a college campus, that balance is crucial—students feel safer without the tension that can come with heavily armored vehicles. The Positron enhances mobility, visibility, and community engagement all at once.
The Trikke Positron has truly transformed our security operations. It significantly enhances our mobility, allowing us to cover more ground efficiently. The elevated platform provides our security officers with better visibility, ensuring they can spot potential issues quickly and effectively. Moreover, the Trikke Positron offers a high-profile presence that walking simply cannot match, making our security team more visible and reassuring to the public. Overall, it’s a game-changer for our security protocols.
