LAPD Police Chief Charlie Beck, announced yesterday a pilot program that is part of the department’s ongoing Green initiative, that includes a custom-designed fleet of 20 BULLS Sentinel eBIKES. The new eBIKES are capable of reaching speeds of up to 28 mph across varying terrains. BULLS Bikes USA, a leader in the mountain, specialty, and eBIKEcategories, worked closely with the LAPD over a nine-month RFP process to build eBIKES to meet the specific needs of the department’s urban law enforcement and patrol division, giving LAPD the largest eBIKE fleet in the nation. BULLS is offering a new level of mobility to officers with the added assistance of the motor-powered eBIKE.

If you aren’t familiar with the brand, BULLS Bikes USA has the most extensive eBIKE product line in the United States, offering nearly every rider the bike they desire from eMTB hardtail and full suspension to eCity/Treking and eSpeed. While many brands can make traditional bikes, very few have the technical knowledge and infrastructure to produce truly remarkable eBIKEs. The BULLS team is offering more eBIKE systems and innovating at a higher rate than any other OEM. BULLS presence and leadership in Europe has allowed BULLS Bikes USA to more quickly and efficiently introduce the latest global trends to the US market, typically beating the nearest competitor by six months.
