What's a Paramotor?

What the #!** is that??

There's a question we've heard a few times. And the answer is, "It's the coolest thing ever!"

A paramotor is the same thing as a powered paraglider.

These are paragliders. Most of us have seen pictures of these guys, flying mostly around the mountains where they can take off from the top and stay in the air by catching rising air called thermals.

But what if you're not in the mountains?

Then you need one of these things. It's a small 2-stroke engine with a propeller and a harness. This particular one is only 80cc, which is enough to get you off the ground and keep you there.
