E-bikes are an important part of modern police services
Until recently, police authorities around the world were skeptical about electric police vehicles. That is changing slowly but surely. Even state officers in the US are now using their first e-cars for duty.
As part of this shift, e-bikes are becoming more and more important. After all, they are not only environmentally-friendly. They also open up new possibilities for weaving through the dense traffic in big cities, keeping an eye on the increasing number of bicycles and staying mobile where cars reach their limits. In contrast to conventional bicycles, they bring more power, now score high on range and are easier to ride in narrow streets. No wonder that many police officers also view the use of pedelecs on duty positively.
It is expected that pedelecs or S-pedelecs with blue lights will become a common sight in many cities in the near future. Therefore, integrative GPS tracking solutions – such as the PowUnity fleet management system – can make an important contribution to centrally organising, monitoring and protecting the growing e-bike fleets from theft. With blue lights or without.
