High Tensile Stainless Steel Fittings the Quad Budgie also features a
Quad 4 wheel design for stability and carbon fibre rear axles for
suspension. The Quad Budgie dismantles in less than 1 minute to fit
into the trunk of your car. For further information visit our web site

Hello,
my name is Przemyslaw Mieszkalski. Is it possible to put one or two
pictures of a trike to your site? My friend is a producer of such
equipment and I'd like to make a suprise to him.
Trike
- X-Max, 4-stroke V2 engine, 630 cc, 33 hp, electro starter. Because of
that the engine is extreamly stable and quiet. Suming up it's a very
high quality european trike. More info on www.motoparafly.com.

Hello,
There is a new development of the Grasshopper - Paratrikes.
This

New from Fresh Breeze - The Bulli-X Trike
Michel
from Belgium sent me some pictures of a new PPG Trike. I don't have
much information at this time, but you can clearly see that the frame
design is based on the Flyke, a unique articulating steering system
that uses the wing to guide the trike while launching. The motor
pictured on the photo is Fresh Breeze's new Sportix Simonini, a
foldable frame paramotor with a fresh new design with a double ring
cage made specifically for PPG Triking.
Looks like it is currently available from Fresh Breeze. Very interesting!

The Twike!
Tweedy Bird wanna go fwy da Twike!
Not
the first time this has appeared, and probably not the last. Much
discussion has recently explored the possibility of using wheels to
assist tandem flying with powered paragliders. Since we can't use a
trike, there might still be some benefit in using wheels to take some
of the weight of the heavier motor needed to fly two people.

Italian Transformer Trike?
"In
any case, the Trike can be equipped with a mast and be used with a
hang-gliding flight from adequately reinforced. With only one engine
can easily choose to fly with paragliding on foot or by cart, or the
hang-gliding with minitrike. Nobody can give you so much!".

their website

looks light enough to make 103 requirements...

PropBike
Here's
an innovative new form to try! As John Fetz sez: "All we need to do is
put POWER BARS on to hook up...who needs 3 or 4 wheels, anyways?" Put
two of these together for an AWESOME new version of the QUAD!!!
I have been written to by the developer:
The PropBike was my first "non-static
test-bed" to run my
wooden-props at certain advance design speeds with pilot drag
interference that I was investigating once, in 2003. Very successfull
to that purpose and, also, a funny (but noisy) thing to use around the
city streets and in trips to the airport (with a lot of very open eyes
of the car drivers). I built three ones to others argentinean mad
friends.
If it isn't too much work, please, should
you put a link to my
blogs (and a little explanation about the purpose of the PropBike),
beside the picture? In Spanish: (BLOG#1) (BLOG#2)
Use this link to TRANSLATE.
I am a designer/builder of hand-made
wooden-props for paramotors,
airboats and ultralights airplanes. I live in Argentina (South
America), near Brazil. Thanks in advance and congratulations for your
site.

Hi
Here
is a picture of a self made ppg trike. The front wheel is turning free
so that you don`t need to use your legs to steer the trike. The trike
is following automatically the canopy and the starts and the landings
are quite easy. It is also possible to steer the trike when you drive
to the starting place. The motor is PAP ROS 1400. (And sorry for my
English)

Personal Helicopter
While
this flying machine is not a trike or paraglider, I still think it is
quite remarkable. The propellers are opposing, so there is minimal
torque effect, and the pilot control looks simple enough - similar to a
hang glider using the down tubes. Push out to slow down (or in this
case go backwards!), pull in to move forward and pull left or right to
go that direction - very intuitive. All in all, a pretty amazing
personal flying machine! Sometimes the Evolution takes a twist...

Jerry's Hercules Trike
Jerry
and I were neck to neck in the pylon race. As we hit the first pylon, I
take the inside and Jerry is right behind me. As we head down the
straight away, Jerry gets too close to my wingtip. Our propellers
become entangled in each others wings. Gasoline spills as we become a
falling mass of dacron and aluminum. I pull the ballistic parachute
handle and it fills over our heads just before we contact the ground.
But the gasoline ignites and we DIE in a ball of flames!
Actually
Jerry is probably at least 30 feet away. We don't fly this close except
for pictures. Flying with Jerry was a lot of fun.

Walkerjet "High Chair" Trike
This
was the first "trike buggy" I saw. I thought, what a simple idea, just
use a good quality kite buggy for wheeled launches and landings. The
only thing I did not like was using the paramotor seat as the pilot's
"high chair" - too much exposure to injury in the case of a rollover.
The TrikeBuggy design was inspired by these early buggy test pilots!

Airgate Trike from the Czech Republic
Hi guys,
You don’t have this one on the trike photo gallery, so I thought you
might like to add it. It’s the Airgate trike from Czech republic, built
to suit the ‘Mantis’ unit they produce (www.airgate.cz).
It’s the only trike I’ve flown so can't compare it with anything else,
but I did a fair bit of research and as I had the mantis/Kudlanka unit,
this suited me well. I’m very happy with it for its low COG, powerful
130cc motor, very portable and light, (11kgs trike only).

nDiza (meaning 'Fly' in Zulu) trike was designed to utilize a
Paragliding harness for its seat for maximum comfort and safety. This
trike was purpose built as a fixed single trike, and has some sexy new
lines and great new comfort levels not achieved in PPT trikes before
now. Larger

Circular Hang Glider?
From
somewhere out there comes this interesting circular hang glider mounted
to an even more interesting "quad" car-like buggy. Note the steering

The Glide-O-Bike
For
25 cents, every boy now has the chance to learn Flying Principles by
Actual Practice! She goes gliding along, Fellows, but that's not all.
You can bank, ground loop, stall and side-slip. Absolutely nothing like
this for fun and thrills. "I sent for the Glide-O-Bike...they sure are
swell!" "The Glide-O-Bike is the dandiest thing I ever owned!" Larger

Ziggy Trike
This
photo of a nice PPG Trike was sent to me recently. Looks like a very
simple and effective design, but again with a high CG - if this trike
tips over, the pilot will not be protected. Get your skills dialed! Larger

La Mouette Trike
This
PPG Trike looks like it has been flying around for awhile! Notice the
PPC-like foot steering attachments - careful not to stomp on that turn!

Got
a spare 2x4 laying around? With a little thought, and a hammer and some

Ekirt PPG Trike
Just
when you thought you had it all figured out, someone turns it all
around! Ekirt is Trike spelled backwards, which looks like exactly what
this trike is trying to do??? Larger
