Ecological Municipal Guard in Malbork

by Aleksandra Kapejewska

Frequent traffic jams and obstructions no longer pose any problem for the Municipal Guard in Malbork. Owing bicycles and electric scooters, the municipal police officers can quickly reach every location in the city. The use of the vehicles combines the idea of promoting the ecological actions and ensuring the safety of city residents and tourists mainly in the city centre, the surrounding of the castle and the boulevard on the Nogat River, especially during the holiday season.

Apart from its bicycles, the Malbork Municipal Guard move around on two scooters which, propelled by electric energy, do not emit any exhaust fumes. Depending on their versions, the scooters can cover up to 100-140 km, while the total charging period amounts to max. 5 hours. The single-track vehicles can ride with the maximum speed of 110 km/h and do not generate any sounds. They are not only ecological but also economic. The maintenance costs are much lower in comparison with the traditional single-track vehicles and they drop to almost zero in the case of the bikes.

The municipal police officers on bicycles and scooters not only secure the public order, but are also quite an attraction, being the most often photographed object in the town.
