SUMMARY

"It is the safest way to fly...period!"

Please read the following very carefully, you'll be very glad you did.

Paramotoring is the simplest and most serene way to fulfill humankind’s oldest dream – free flight! The pilot applies a little throttle and takes off. The problem is, it is NOT that simple. If the idea of watching the sunset from a comfortable seat, supported by the buoyant evening air, with your favorite music filling your senses appeals to you, then the Ultimate Air Paratrike is exactly what you’ve been looking for. You don’t need to worry about launching or landing anymore, you can do it alone and it’s very affordable. Flying is stress-free because take-off problems are so greatly reduced.


POWER:
Click here for an enlargement of this image A Deluxe Paratrike, we believe, has the most powerful paragliding motor in the world. The unit utilizes extremely important instrumentation and gauges to help you monitor your motor and prevent damaging engine failure due to pre-warning you, while also giving you the comfort level of knowing that your motor is operating within the ranges defined by the engine manufacturer. Paratrike utilizes either a Kawasaki 440 air cooled motor, which allows more horsepower while maintaining extremely quiet application, or a MZ 34 Air cooled to reduce weight and allow for a smaller canopy. The compliments on the quietness of our unit are numerous and continue to grow.


SOARING:
The Deluxe Paratrike also utilizes an electric start system which enables you to soar to as high an altitude as you wish, shut off the motor, and then fly the paragliding wing the way it was meant to be flown. All powered parachutes and powered paragliders are "pulled" though the air with a motor. This slightly changes the aerodynamics built for that wing by the engineers.

Unfortunately, ram air parachutes are not able to shut off their motor and soar (ride thermals or air movement) with any great success. Powered paragliding wings and Paratrike ARE able to soar because the wings are designed for that specific purpose. It is not uncommon for our pilots to climb to 3,000-4,000 feet, shut off their motor, soar down to the ground and re-start only to climb back up to that same altitude 5-10 times during one flight. Paratrike, by utilizing a paragliding wing, is able to land almost on a dime. There is virtually no roll in many landings as Paragliding wings are built and designed with "foot launchers" in mind. A Paratrike can land within a 10-foot circle virtually every time.


CONVENIENCE:
Ram air parachutes need and require a much longer runway for both landing and takeoff. The virtue of a paragliding wing being able to take off in significantly less distance and land in even less distance allows a Paratrike pilot to have far more areas for flight. Paratrike can fly out of many parking lots, parks, fields, etc. while ram air parachutes require a much longer landing strip type areas, therefore significantly limiting the areas they are able to fly and land in. It also means, generally, that you have to drive a pretty good distance in order to take your powered parachute off. Paragliders and the Paratrike generally are able to take off in areas that are very close to home base, thereby making flying more fun and you will do it more often.


LIGHT WEIGHT:
Click here for an enlargement of this image Paratrike is in a class by itself because it utilizes a high-powered power plant, full instrumentation, in a unit that rolls on the ground, which makes inflation a snap. It is under 200-poundS, in the "true" ultralight class requiring no registration, no trailer and no pilot's license.

Our unit can simply fit into the back of any standard size pick-up truck with one man loading, or fit on our special transport that we have designed to make loading even simpler.


If you are searching for versatility, portability, and the ability to fly in and out of places far simpler with a compact unit that does not require a trailer or airplane storage, then you have found the right place. Paratrike answers all the questions and eliminates all of the shortcomings of the other flying endeavors in our class. We fall somewhere between backpacking and ram air parachutes. We are in the middle and we believe we have a significant advantage over both areas of the spectrum by penetrating a market and address the problems of each.

Do your homework, you will find that Paratrike is the "answer".


NOW...GO FLY! IT IS THAT SIMPLE!
