TrikeBuggy Deluxe

The TrikeBuggy is a PPG motor attached to a Flexifoil Kite Buggy with our unique frame design and a paraglider wing to achieve flight. It is an extremely comfortable and easy to use personal aircraft that is just plain fun to fly!

Inspired by the durable kitebuggy made by Flexifoil, our Basic and Deluxe TrikeBuggy configurations are solid as a rock and remarkably affordable compared to other PPG trikes.

 

The center of gravity of the TrikeBuggy is lower than any other PPG Trike, and the wing lifts the trike and pilot together, giving this little flying machine a feel that is more solid than larger, bulkier trikes. With the TrikeBuggy, you simply sit down in the seat of the buggy, fasten your seat belt and go fly! The seated position is so much more comfortable than a traditional PPG harness, and your legs can rest on the footpegs or simply dangle once you have launched.

Using our own specially hardware to attach most any paramotor securely to the kite buggy frame, the TrikeBuggy allows a solo powered paraglider pilot to launch easily when there is no wind - the most challenging PPG launch condition.

Imagine:

  • No carrying the heavy motor unit on your back!
  • No more running forward launches!
  • Rolling easily into flight!
  • Landing in no-wind conditions with no running!

Save your knees, legs and ankles and say goodbye to broken props and cages. With proper training, this new buggy will make those calm condition flights not just possible, but fun and easy!

You'll actually smile when the other pilots worry about whether they can pull off a no-wind launch (not to mention the landing!) when the air is smooth and sweet, knowing that you can taxi along after inflation and roll right into a controlled launch. Come into your landing at full speed, with just a nice flare to round out the approach, and roll into a superb touch-down!

TrikeBuggy Deluxe is 52.5 inches wide and resistant to tipping over. TrikeBuggy Deluxe has ample room and comfort for larger or heavier pilots and for someone that wants a more reclining seated position. The wide wheelbase makes the Deluxe TrikeBuggy very stable when on the ground, launching and landing.

Standard with 6" wide wheels, plus all the hardware to attach most any paramotor, a quick release seat belt, and our new 30" tall TrikeBuggy embroidered Back Pad. Click any of the pictures on this page for enlargements!

TrikeBuggy Bullet

The TrikeBuggy Bullet is our next generation PPG Trike inspired from designs that are both visually appealing and highly functional. This design is for the paraglider version only and is FAA Part 103 legal as an Ultralight Vehicle or Aircraft.

The Bullet's frame is simple and solid, made of chromed steel and aluminum. It is sleek and racy, plus it gives the pilot a protective cage that will keep the pilot from contact with the ground in case of a rollover.

The TrikeBuggy Bullet uses the tried and true Flexifoil Wide Axle Kite Buggy as the foundation for this unique PPG Trike. The new design allows the pilot to quickly dismount the motor for use as foot launch or to transport.

The Bullet also quickly disassembles for packing away, and accepts our new EyePod Fairings as well as having it's own accessories such as Bullet A-Assists and Intuitive Foot Steering System made specially for this new cage design.

The Bullet also incorporates our latest innovation - the TrikeBuggy Low Hangpoint System. This allows the use of virtually any paraglider whether it has trimmers or not. The risers are positioned much lower than most PPG Trikes, bringing the brake position down to a comfortable reach for even the shortest pilots. This system is unique in the industry, since it allows the pilots to use their regular paraglider without making modifications to it.

The Low Hangpoint System is also noteworthy because it literally ties the paraglider to the Buggy, eliminating the need for any kind of harness system. You simply sit down and fasten your seat belt and go fly! A Five-Point Harness can be added, but really is not necessary. Our Harness Backup Kit can also be used on the Bullet for added security if desired.

The low CG (center of gravity) is the same as the other TrikeBuggies, since we are using the same low seat and comfortable reclined seat position made possible by the Flexifoil Buggy. At 7" off the ground, this is the lowest pilot seat of any ultralight aircraft available today.

The TrikeBuggy Bullet has one more distinguishing feature - it includes the Bullet A-Assists at no additional charge. These great accessories make the inflation of the wing a snap, with no input needed from the pilot! Simply hook up the A-Assists and watch your glider come up evenly every time (well almost!). The glider gets the best chance at a perfect inflation, since they always pull evenly on the A risers.

TrikeBuggy Delta

Triking has become a very popular form of ultralight flight, due to the simple and easy characteristics of flight control found on these weight-shift control aircraft.

The TrikeBuggy Delta is about as simple as it gets! We have added an "A" frame to the Deluxe Flexifoil Kite Buggy, incorporating the motor and glider mounts onto the two legs of the frame.

This hang glider trike uses a standard paramotor to provide the power, and the cage can be removed to lower the drag since there are no paraglider lines to get caught up in the propeller. The motor can be quickly dismounted for travel or service.

The robust stainless steel frame of the Flexifoil Buggy is the perfect platform for this comfortable little single place trike. We add our heavy-duty aluminum frame that mounts quickly and easily to the buggy and wing, with an integrated mount and clamps that accept most paramotors.

The center of gravity is low, and the seat position is reclined and relaxed. Simply sit down, fasten your seat belt and GO! The TrikeBuggy Delta can be easily launched in the smooth, calm air of early mornings and twilight evenings. Experienced pilots will appreciate and enjoy the way that thermals can be used later in the day to extend flight time. Gaining altitude in this trike using thermal lift is as natural as can be, since the wing loading is ideal with the extra weight.

The TrikeBuggy Delta is Part 103 compliant as an Ultralight Vehicle, for use with a single occupant with a total weight of less than 254 lbs. and less than 5 gallons of fuel. No License is required!

Wills Wing Falcon Tandem Hang Glider
The recommended glider for use with this trike is the Wills Wing Tandem Falcon, an easy flying hang glider made to carry up to 440 lbs. With its unmatched slow flight capability and light, responsive and predictable handling.

With its superb flare authority and forgiving landing characteristics, the Falcon will keep you smiling right through to the end of every flight. Simply put, the Falcon is a glider that will make you fall in love with flying, whether for the first time, or all over again.

TrikeBuggy Delta Specifications:

  • Weight: 70 lbs. (no motor or glider)
  • Length: 45.5 inches
  • Width: 62 inches
  • Height: 96 inches (no glider)
