Canton Police Department Unveils New Electric Motorcycles

CANTON, GA — The Canton Police Department is adding a new form of patrol, which will enhance community safety and support the City of Canton's sustainability goals.

Canton Police Chief Stephen Merrifield said the department added two new all-electric motorcycles to its fleet.

"The motorcycles will allow us to patrol our newly expanded park trail system and allow us to do it without emission and noise pollution," Merrifield said in a statement. "This will allow officers to engage more community members as we continue to build relationships and trust."

Three Canton Police officers have been trained and certified to operate the motorcycles. They will be used regularly throughout the year for traffic enforcement, concerts, parades, trails and special events.

The motorcycles are manufactured by Zero Motorcycles and are designed for on and off-road use.
