Meet the next-generation patrol platform built for today’s field operations
The Trikke Positron version 3 is the newest evolution of Trikke’s professional patrol platform, where visibility, equipment integration, and durability matter every day.
Delivery of Positron version 3 models will begin in March, with pre-orders now being accepted. Frame options include glossy black, white, and glossy blue.

The redesigned Positron version 3 will make its in-person debut at SHOT Show 2026, giving attendees an opportunity to experience the platform firsthand.
As patrol responsibilities grow and environments become more complex, the redesign reflects a broader shift in how agencies view mobility—not as a convenience, but as an operational requirement.
“For agencies tasked with doing more with less, mobility has to work harder,” said Gildo Beleski, CEO of Trikke. “Positron version 3 is built from years of field experience—what officers carry, how they move, and what actually holds up shift after shift.”
That same focus has guided Trikke’s product development from the beginning. The original Defender 48V validated the concept of a purpose-built electric patrol vehicle, proving that professional mobility could bridge the gap between foot patrol and traditional vehicles.
The second-generation Positron, introduced in 2021, expanded those capabilities with durability and performance upgrades, including the XL configuration and airless tires that became familiar sights across campuses, downtowns, and event environments.
But patrol demands continued to change.
Over time, as government safety and compliance standards advanced, Trikke reached a critical conclusion: refining the existing platform further would not be enough.
“There comes a point where you’re not improving the platform—you’re working around its limits,” Beleski said. “Version 3 is what happens when you step back and redesign the vehicle around how patrol actually works today.”
After nearly seven years of designing and deploying patrol vehicles built expressly for police and security use, Trikke committed to a full redesign—reworking the Positron from the ground up to support the next phase of professional patrol operations.
What’s new with the Positron version 3
Rather than incremental tweaks, Positron version 3 introduces a broad set of structural, mechanical, and functional updates aimed at durability, visibility, and real-world usability.
Front structure and handling
- Reengineered front structure with a precision CNC-machined cambering mechanism for smoother, more predictable handling
- Integrated hard lean stop to protect elastomeric bushings and the yoke during aggressive use
- Wider, more robust front structure that improves both strength and accessory mounting options
Positron-exclusive front fairing V-Bar
- New V-Bar design developed specifically for Positron models
- Adds front-end volume, structural reinforcement, and expanded graphic space
- Engineered to support accessories such as ballistic shields by ADS and rifle locks by Setina
“Accessories aren’t optional anymore,” Beleski said. “Agencies want equipment to integrate cleanly and securely, not feel bolted on after the fact. The V-Bar was designed with that reality in mind.”
Lighting, identification, and visibility
- New vertical headlight design providing improved illumination with more stable mounting
- Illuminated front placard, standard on Positron models, displaying POLICE, SHERIFF, or SECURITY
- Redesigned LED taillights with integrated side lighting for improved visibility from multiple angles
Rider interface and comfort
- Completely redesigned foot decks with wider stepping surfaces, rugged grip texture, rigid edges, and a flat kicktail
- Redesigned front fork and new tire for the XL configuration
- New front fender engineered for wider XL tires, with support for an optional extended splash guard
(The XL remains a configuration option within the Positron version 3 platform, not a separate generation.)
Durability and service life
- Upgraded brake rotors featuring a non-directional design, 30 percent increased thickness, greater rigidity, and reduced warping
- Redesigned rear mud flaps, now detached from the rear fender and constructed from flexible rubber to reduce breakage and improve splash protection
Mechanical and electrical upgrades
- Steering axle safety keys
- Improved cambering precision
- Enhanced motor waterproofing
- More rigid kickstand
- Upgraded hardware quality throughout
- Steering lock improvements
- Refined shock hydraulics
“Our customers aren’t looking for novelty,” Beleski said. “They want equipment that feels solid, looks professional, and holds up day after day. Version 3 is about earning that trust.”
Designed specifically for patrol—not adapted from consumer products—the Positron version 3 supports operations across campuses, downtown districts, transportation hubs, and large-scale event environments. The redesigned platform positions Trikke to meet current and future regulatory expectations while aligning with how patrol teams move and engage in the field.
Delivery of the Trikke Positron version 3 begins in March 2026, with pre-orders now open.
The Positron version 3 marks a decisive new chapter in professional patrol mobility—built from experience, informed by the field, and designed for what comes next.
