Police receive 375 tactical e‑bikes worth RM8m for faster, quieter border patrols

On August 19, the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) received 375 All Terrain Tactical Assault E-Bikes, valued at over RM8 million, to bolster border security. Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail announced that the bikes would be deployed across states adjacent to Thailand, including Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan, Perak, Sabah, and Sarawak.

Ismail highlighted that the electric tactical bikes would bolster police capabilities, enabling rapid, quiet, and efficient border patrols. He emphasized the importance of curbing leaks, particularly of petrol and other goods, to safeguard government revenue. The bikes, capable of reaching 120km/h, providing 850Nm of torque, and operating for up to 120km, were supplied by RTG Intech Corporation Sdn Bhd.

Ismail expressed gratitude for the strategic partnership and optimism for its continued impact on the force's operational efficacy. The electric bikes will debut at the National Day parade.
