First generation of hybrid Motorcycle  police vehicles

A pilot fleet-order for White Motorcycle Concepts’ innovative hybrid electric motorcycle – the WMC300FR – has been placed by Northamptonshire Police, the world’s first emergency service to order them.

Police and Crime Commissioners throughout the UK are coming under increasing pressure to reduce carbon emissions within budgets, while maintaining their operational requirements. This is something that has become increasingly hard to do with millions of pounds required to create the necessary charging infrastructure to fully equip an around-the-clock police force with electric vehicles – particularly with the technology still evolving rapidly. The WMC300FR has been designed to bridge the gap with its pioneering and innovative hybrid three-wheeled scooter as an immediate viable solution both environmentally and economically.

Unveiled as a prototype in June 2021, the circa. £14,000 bike has been optimised and developed into production specification and is now being manufactured to order. The WMC300FR is designed specifically for use as an operational first response and community patrol vehicle. Fully prepared for frontline use, it also meets the increasingly important climate change objectives of a modern emergency service, all the while remaining cost-effective to the taxpayer.
