About The TrikeBuggy...
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 TrikeBuggy is quite simply a microlight aircraft made for
solo or tandem use utilizing a PPG motor attached to the frame
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!

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.
The TrikeBuggy Bullet is available in either the Basic or Deluxe versions
with the basic version recommended for expert PPG Trike pilots only - due
to the shorter width and wheelbase which is more challenging to taxi and
launch.

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. Shown and
flown at the 2007 ParaToys Salton Sea Fly-In and the Arizona
Flying Circus near Phoenix, the TrikeBuggy was affectionately
nicknamed the "Chaddilac" after watching Chad play with his
new low-rider PPG Trike toy.
"I saw motors mounted to the kite buggy frame using the PPG
harness, but it seemed like they were sitting in a high-chair
just ready to topple over. I knew there had to be a better way..
The center of gravity of the TrikeBuggy is lower than any
other PPG Trike, 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 designed Power Loops and heavy
duty clamps and straps 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 taxy 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!
The Basic TrikeBuggy has a shorter wheelbase and a narrow
back axle. TrikeBuggy Deluxe is about 14 inches longer
and wider than the Basic and about 10 lbs heavier.
Basic TrikeBuggy is great for small to average size pilots
up to about 200 lbs. Deluxe TrikeBuggy has ample room
and comfort for larger or heavier pilots, someone that
wants a more reclining seated position or students
learning to trike. The wide wheelbase makes the Deluxe
TrikeBuggy very stable when on the ground, plus when
launching and landing.
Both models now include 6" wide wheels and our TrikeBuggy
Power Loops, plus all the clamps and straps to attach most
any motor, plus a quick release seat belt.
Weight: 50 lbs. Basic, 60 lbs. Deluxe
Axle Width: 39" Basic, 52.5" Deluxe
