About T3 MOTION

T3 Motion, Inc. designs, manufactures, and markets electric-powered vehicles, primarily targeting the public safety and private security sectors. Founded in 2006 by Ki Nam, the company was incorporated in Delaware and is headquartered in Ontario, California. Nam, a serial entrepreneur with a background in technology companies like Powerwave Technologies and Aircept, established T3 Motion to develop environmentally friendly personal mobility solutions. The company's vision was shaped by assembling a team with expertise in engineering, design, and electronics to address transportation needs for professional applications.

The company's flagship product is the T3 Patroller, a three-wheeled, electric stand-up vehicle (ESV). This vehicle was engineered based on direct feedback from law enforcement and security professionals to enhance patrol efficiency and visibility. A key feature of the T3 series is its swappable power modules, allowing for continuous, 24/7 operation with minimal downtime for charging, a design tailored for the rigorous demands of its clients. The vehicle's raised platform provides officers with a commanding presence and a better vantage point in crowds. The business model focuses on direct sales and a global network of distributors, supplying to a diverse client base that includes police departments, military installations, airports, corporate campuses, and public event venues. Over 5,000 T3 vehicles have been deployed in more than 30 countries.

Throughout its history, T3 Motion has been a publicly traded company, moving from the OTC Bulletin Board to the NYSE Amex in May 2011. In 2013, William Tsumpes, an inventor with extensive experience in the security and automotive industries, was appointed CEO. The company underwent a significant change in 2017 when T3 Holdings, Inc. acquired its operations through a United States Bankruptcy Court order, transitioning it into a private, debt-free company. This restructuring included a wholly owned subsidiary in China to manufacture and distribute a modified version of the T3 Patroller for the Asian market, while maintaining its 'Made in America' commitment for all other international and domestic customers.
