PARARTRIKE

sport overview

Paratriking is a form of powered paragliding that uses a paraglider attached to a trike or similar structure. This setup combines the freedom of paragliding with the convenience of a motor, making it less reliant on wind conditions and easier to take off.

How It Works:

  • Trike: Provides stability and comfort for the pilot during takeoff and landing.
  • Engine: A propeller motor is mounted on the trike, supplying the necessary power for flight.
  • Paraglider: Used to generate lift and enable flight.

Paratriking is an ideal choice for those who want to experience the thrill of flying without needing to run or rely solely on wind. It combines comfort, ease of use, and the joy of powered flight.
