Up, up and away. Let's fly away.

Paramotor is the generic name for the harness and propulsive portion of a powered paraglider. There are two basic types of paramotors: foot launch and wheel launch.

Wheel launch units either come as complete units with their own motor, or as an add-on to a foot launch paramotor. They usually have 3 (trike) or 4 (quad) wheels, with seats for one or two occupants. These should not be confused with powered parachutes which are generally much heavier, more powerful, and have different steering.
