From terminals to tarmacs, major airports are using Trikkes to boost visibility and efficiency at busy travel hubs.
Airports present a uniquely complex security environment. Sprawling terminals, congested concourses, multi-level parking garages, and heavy foot traffic all demand a mobility solution that’s agile, reliable, and visible. That’s why airports across the U.S. are turning to Trikke patrol vehicles to enhance their operations and elevate the travel experience.
Trikke’s three-wheeled, battery-powered patrol units are now a proven solution at airports from Burbank, California, to Orlando and Puerto Rico.
As Trikke CEO Gildo Beleski explains:
“Airport law enforcement departments are taking crowd control and security operations to new heights, thanks to all-terrain, electric patrol Trikkes.”
Real voices from the field
These versatile vehicles help officers maintain a visible presence, respond swiftly, and stay connected with the traveling public.
At Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, Sergeant Michael Schreacke notes:
“The Trikke is a favorite among officers due to its ease of use and effectiveness in maintaining a strong officer presence in terminals and parking garages. Not only are they easy to ride, but they also provide a rapid response in situations such as medical emergencies, ongoing fights, and searching for missing individuals or runaways.”
At Hollywood Burbank Airport, officers shared their first impressions after hands-on training:
“It’s excellent, actually. It was very natural getting on it—tight turns, as well as apexing corners. I got pretty comfortable with it very quickly. A++.” — Officer Robert Hynes
“Just did an orientation on these Trikkes and I was impressed. These are nice. Cool. Fun.” — Sergeant Michael Gonzales
Those are just a few of the voices from airports already using Trikkes—and their feedback highlights exactly why these patrol vehicles stand out. Here’s a closer look at what makes them so effective in busy travel environments.
Key benefits for airport security
• Elevated visibility and presence. The stand-up riding posture gives officers a commanding vantage point while keeping them approachable in busy terminals and parking structures.
• Agility and maneuverability. Trikkes navigate tight turns, ramps, and indoor/outdoor transitions with ease—ideal for concourses, hallways, and garages.
• Extended coverage with minimal effort. Compared to foot or bicycle patrols, officers can cover more ground, respond faster, and remain alert throughout their shift.
• Quiet, zero-emission operation. Electric propulsion enables discreet patrols and indoor deployment without emissions or engine noise.
• Professional image. The sleek, modern design reinforces an airport’s commitment to innovation and public engagement.
Why Trikke patrollers work in airports
Airports combine indoor and outdoor zones, multi-level structures, pedestrian flow, and operational urgency. The Trikke Positron and Defender are engineered to handle those transitions seamlessly, delivering continuous patrol capability without switching vehicles. It’s a proven, real-world mobility solution already trusted by airport security agencies nationwide and abroad.
