What is
Paratrike?
Paratriking offers the thrill of powered paragliding while comfortably seated in a wheeled frame, perfect for longer flights.
sport overview
Paratriking is the wheeled variant of powered paragliding. By attaching the paramotor unit to a sturdy, lightweight wheeled frame (trike), the pilot can launch and land comfortably from a seated position. This removes the physical demand of foot-launching a motor, making powered aviation accessible to more pilots and allowing for larger engines and tandem flights.
FlyOppi regulates paratrike pilot ratings, logs wheeled flight achievements, and evaluates structural chassis safety. We qualify expert trike examiners to administer practical checks, ensuring safe flying operations worldwide.
Key Features of Paratrike:
- •
Wheeled Chassis Frame: Equipped with a sturdy three-wheel or four-wheel cart structure that supports the engine weight, eliminating pilot weight loads.
- •
Seated Comfort: The pilot and passenger sit comfortably in bucket seats with safety seatbelts throughout the entire flight.
- •
Tandem Friendly: Highly suited for flight sharing. Its engine size and heavy-load trike structures make carrying passengers reliable.
- •
Steering by Feet: Features foot-pedal front steering control to track and steer the trike smoothly on the runway during taxi.
