What is paramotor?
A paramotor is an ultralight aircraft: a paraglider wing plus an engine and propeller that drive you along in flight.
The engine lets you take off from flat ground and stay up longer and go further than on an ordinary paraglider.
Tandem flights are made with an experienced pilot, so no previous experience is needed.
A paramotor gives you the freedom of flight together with the reach of a powered machine.
