Most commonly used by major metropolitan departments and state police agencies, police motorcycles have been mainstays in parade and escort functions, as well as for off-road and highway safety enforcement.
With ever-present budgetary constraints, many smaller departments are exploring how to use a motor unit in both traditional and non-traditional ways. This, in turn, has expanded the range of motor unit options by manufacturers, as well as laid the groundwork for some out-of-the-box thinking by department heads. Recently, several manufacturers have announced or are shipping plug-in bikes that run on electric motors driven by high-powered batteries.
