Electric Paramotor Efforts

Dec 7, 2007 According the Powered Paragliding Radio Show (www.PPGRadio.com), Chris Bowles reports that Fresh breeze is indeed planning to market their electric paramotor. It reportedly has 140 pounds of thrust and can fly the average person  for 20 to 40 with a 68 pound unit including batteries.

These pictures were included during the latest testing of the motor.

Nov 12, 2007 Richard provided a link about his creation, flown recently by Michel Carnet. We're trying to find out if they plan on marketing it yet, or not. The video was taped in St. Hillaire and several pilots had the opportunity to fly the machine. Marc Salama produced this video in English and French.

Nov 4, 2007 Fresh Breeze has created a machine and we're awaiting more details. Michel Carnet of Paramotor Magazine has flown a couple times and reports his experience at paramotorMag. Michel also talks about it on the most recent Powered Paragliding show.

Unfortunately, we got information from Fresh Breeze but it was lost during a computer meltdown. We'll get it up here as soon as possible.

April 29, 2007 Markus Müller of the German company Fresh Breeze, who is working with Helix Props, is well on his way to winning a duration competition for electric paramotors. We've been told that he's flown a 38 minute flight which would be the longest continuous flight on an electric paramotor. Pictures courtesy Fresh Breeze. We also applaud his willingness to share information on their progress.

We do not have any specifics but will put them up when made available.
