Meet the police departments and agencies adding Trikke’s newest top-of-the-line patrol vehicles.
When Trikke Professional Mobility introduced the Positron version 3 in early 2026, the story was about the vehicle itself.
Redesigned from the ground up after years of field experience, the new Positron brought changes aimed at durability, equipment integration, and real-world patrol operations.
Now there’s another part of the story: who’s buying it.
Since deliveries began, 12 Positron version 3 units have gone to seven organizations: the Palatka (Florida) Police Department (three), Glendale Police Department, Dallas College Police Department, and Baton Rouge Community College (two each), and the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, Tennessee State Parks, and the VA Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina (one each).
Dallas College adds to its Positron fleet
In 2019, the Dallas College Police Department deployed four Positrons to help officers patrol one of the largest community college systems in Texas. Two years later, the department added another six units. This year, it added two version 3 models.
“A major upgrade”
Cpl. Ryan Martinez, a Trikke instructor with the Dallas College Police Department, has been riding the new units.
“The upgrades have been incredible,” he says. “Overall, version 3 is a major upgrade.”
How so? “I’ve noticed a significant difference in the acceleration,” Martinez says.
Then the lights. “The lighting system is also much brighter and stands out more during nighttime and early-morning hours,” he says. During the day, the lights can be turned off to conserve battery power. Also, several new light cycles have been added, which, Martinez says, “makes it easier and faster to find a lighting pattern that works for the situation.”
The added police lighting and decals matter too. “They make it easier for people around us to identify us as law enforcement, and they allow us to clearly articulate that the vehicle is a marked police unit,” Martinez says.
Operating the vehicle is simpler as well. “The wiring and buttons have also been consolidated, making the system much easier to operate,” he says.
And there’s the increased visibility. “There have been more comments than usual from citizens when they see the Trikkes,” Martinez says. “They are taller and look more substantial while maintaining the same width.”
Twelve units. Seven organizations. And one department on its third order in seven years.
For Positron version 3, the reports from the field are just starting to come in.
