Motorized Police Tricycle
“With its bright colours and chunky wheels, it looks like a motorbike from a giant Lego kit. In fact, the T3 Motion could be the future of law enforcement. The electric scooter, which has a top speed of 25mph, is designed to be cheap to use, to be friendly to the environment and, with a 9in-high raised platform, to provide a great vantage point for policing crowds. A model with police-style blue and yellow livery (and limited to 5mph) was loaned to Sussex Police to use at the South of England Show, a three-day agricultural show in Ardingly, near Haywards Heath, which runs until tomorrow. Sergeant Paul Marsterson said the experiment had been a success – though hampered by the sheer novelty of the vehicle. ‘We tried to do a tour of the arena. However, people were so interested in it, it took us 45 minutes to get a couple of hundred metres,’ he said.” w/ photos
