Santos Bike Patrol in practice
Den Treek-Henschoten is a centuries-old family estate where the family, the partnerships, and the community collectively demonstrate their commitment to the preservation and nurturing of this unique natural area in the heart of the Netherlands. This dedication deserves an appearance that does justice to the identity of the estate. Therefore, Landgoed Den Treek-Henschoten has chosen the elegant Santos Patrol Bike for estate management.
Ambulance services are now also using the Santos Patrol Bikes, in addition to government institutions and NGOs. Car-free smart cities demand fast, quiet, and clean journeys for shaping the future. The quality and robustness of the Santos Patrol bike make it ideally suited for these movements, even when carrying heavy ambulance equipment.
In the vibrant Metropolitan Region of Rotterdam The Hague (MRDH), 23 municipalities are collaborating to elevate bicycle routes to new heights with a collective investment of 37.2 million euros. This joint effort aims to enhance a bicycle-friendly infrastructure and encourages greater bicycle usage, yielding benefits such as reduced congestion and an overall improvement in the region's quality of life. Rotterdam, a sustainability frontrunner for several years, continues to demonstrate its dedication to a green and sustainable future by proudly opting for the dependable Santos Patrol Bike, which symbolizes the city's commitment to a green and sustainable future.

Santos stays involved
Santos stays involved with the Patrol Bikes. With our preventive maintenance program, we maintain the Patrol Bikes on location once or twice a year. This increases the uptime, reduces maintenance costs and extends the service life. The Santos preventive maintenance program is standard offered with the Patrol Bikes.
Our Dutch nature is an invaluable social asset. Therefore, Natuurmonumenten strives to connect people and organizations with the nature it protects. The managers monitor both the nature and the visitors who enjoy green recreation. To professionally manage these areas and improve interaction with visitors, Natuurmonumenten has opted for the Santos Patrol Bike in its own house style.
Disasters, conflicts, no roof over your head. The Red Cross, the largest aid organization in the world, helps the most vulnerable at home and abroad. For more human contact in busy cities, the Red Cross opts for the Santos Patrol Bike.

City centres
In busy city centres, speed and manoeuvrability are essential. With the Santos Patrol Bike, bike teams move effortlessly through low-traffic zones, narrow streets and crowded squares.
The bike makes officers and enforcement teams visible, approachable and highly flexible in deployment. They can easily access locations that are difficult or impossible to reach by vehicle, allowing them to respond quickly when needed. The Patrol Bike also proves its value during events, demonstrations and large crowds.
An efficient and sustainable way to maintain a presence in the city – exactly where it matters most.
Surveillance
The Patrol Bike is intensively used for surveillance and rapid deployment. It is designed for demanding, professional use and performs reliably in a wide range of situations.
Built to withstand tough conditions, the Patrol Bike offers a robust and dependable solution for teams operating in dynamic environments.
For over 20 years, the collaboration between riders and the Patrol Bike has been continuously refined and optimized.
Nature conservation
For nature conservation organisations, the Patrol Bike is an ideal means of transport in natural areas. Silent, clean and agile, rangers move through forests, dunes and heathlands without disturbing the environment.
Monitoring and managing these areas often involves covering long distances, frequently on unpaved terrain and in changing weather conditions. Exactly the conditions the Santos Patrol Bike is built for.
Medical response
In medical response, every second counts. With the Santos Patrol Bike, ambulance bike teams can move quickly and efficiently through busy city centres, nightlife areas and event locations. As a result, first responders are often able to reach patients faster than with an ambulance.
“Since 2018, we have been operating four Santos bikes, allowing us to deploy two ambulance bike teams. Especially during large-scale events, these teams prove their value. During our first deployment, we received 49 calls, 40 of which were handled by the bikers. Thanks to them, patients could often be treated on site, without the need for an ambulance. The bikers reach patients faster and more safely, while ambulances remain available for critical situations. A huge added value!”
