Assembly Instructions

Congratulations and Thank You for your purchase of the TrikeBuggy Bullet!

This superb PPG Trike will give you years of pleasurable flying with virtually effortless launches and landings. Caution: you may never want to foot launch again after you master this buggy! This is also the only PPG Trike on the market you can transform back into a kitebuggy in just a matter of minutes - giving you the ability to do either activity. When the wind comes up, you'll be ready!

Assemble the Flexifoil Kitebuggy according to the instructions supplied. Pay careful attention to the seat strap detail and be sure to use the copper bolt lubricant supplied, or the bolts will seize! The included sand shield is helpful if launching from sandy beaches. Keep the tire pressure low if you are going to be launching from soft sand, or simply want a softer ride.

Check your Parts List to make sure you have received all the necessary parts for the assembly. All of the pictures on this page can be clicked to enlarge so you can see more clearly the detail.

Position the two lower Gibraltar "T" Clamps on the axle just behind the seat. Please note: This is not the back axle on the Deluxe where the wheels attach, but rather, the false axle right behind the seat. Push them all the way to the outside next to the weld.

Attach the motor mount brackets to the two rear uprights.

Slide the rear uprights into the lower clamps with the motor mounts offset to the rear of the buggy. Make sure they side all the way down to the stop in the bottom of the clamp. Tighten only gently at this time, so the lower clamps can still be rotated on the axle.

Attach the Bullet Front Bracket to the front of the Flexifoil Buggy with the bolts supplied.

Attach the curved upper supports to the rear uprights using the "L" clamps as shown.

Attach the curved upper supports to the front bracket with supplied hardware. Make sure the small straight bracket is behind the tubes as shown.

Attach the upper Riser Guides 5" forward of the upper rear bracket on the curved tube. This may need to be adjusted to the individual pilot during the Hang Check.

Attach the A-Assist clamps approximately 13" forward of the Riser Guides along the curved tubes.

Push the Hang Strap through the gap at the hip of the buggy and bring it back through itself to fasten it. Attach the Carabiner to the end of the Hang Strap.

Attach the Seat Belt in the same fashion as the Hang Strap to the frame of the buggy at the hip area.

Set the motor on the back axle of the trike and slide it up against the Motor Mounts. Position the Motor Mount upper tube at the height of the comfort bar inserts of your motor. Attach the Comfort Bar Adapters to the Motor Mount tube. Position your motor on the trike and mark the Comfort Bar Adapters. Drill the Adapters so the attachment pins hold the motor on the trike.

Position the lower Motor Mount near a lower brace on your motor and use a velcro strap to hold the motor against the Mount. Tighten both Motor Mounts and the Comfort Bar Adapters.

To attach the paraglider to the TrikeBuggy Bullet, bring the risers through the Riser Guides and attach them to the Carabiners as shown. Line keepers on the paramotor cage at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions are a good idea to keep the lines organized for launch. 6 inches of clear tubing can be split and taped or zip tied to the cage. Attach the A-Assist cords to the inner "A" risers and check for adjustment - no effect on the glider when risers are overhead in the flying position!

Check all bolts, nuts and clamps before each flight, just as you would do on your motor - Preflight!

PPG Triking requires specific skills which are different than foot launched flight. If you have not flown a PPG Trike before, an experienced PPG Trike instructor will save you time and money by helping you understand the necessary fundamentals of inflation, taxiing and launching. Landing will be one of the most pleasurable experiences you will ever enjoy, as long as you have good throttle and surge control.
