The new electric bicycles in Miami Beach’s e-bike squad aim to enhance public safety and improve traffic enforcement in the city’s bustling Art Deco District.Miami Beach Today
The Miami Beach Police Department has launched a new Art Deco District E-Bike Squad, which will patrol the area with six 2025 RECON Interceptor Police Power Bicycles. The electric bikes, donated by the Andres Asion Foundation, will allow officers to navigate dense, pedestrian-heavy areas more efficiently and maintain a highly visible presence.
Why it matters
The new e-bike squad is part of Miami Beach’s efforts to enhance public safety and improve micro-mobility and traffic enforcement in the popular Art Deco District, which sees high foot traffic and can be challenging for traditional patrol vehicles.
The details
The six electric bicycles will enable officers to quickly respond to incidents and maintain close contact with the community. The bikes are designed for high-performance and durability, allowing officers to cover more ground and access areas that would be difficult to reach with traditional patrol cars.
The new e-bike squad was launched on April 8, 2026.
