The TrikeBuggy Classic is our original design PPG Trike, and is still the favorite of many of our clients. It is extremely ease to get into and out of the trike, because you can simply walk around the front and sit down. The Classic Tandem version of the TrikeBuggy has been discontinued due to lack of interest. This information is still being provided for informational purposes only. The TrikeBuggy Classic design works with any standard paraglider or PPG Motorglider, and is FAA Part 103 legal as an Ultralight Vehicle or Aircraft. It accomodates virtually ANY paramotor on the market. The Classic's frame is perhaps not as sexy as the Bullet, but the functionality of this great PPG Trike, coupled with the lower price makes it an excellent choice for new and seasoned wheel launch pilots. The TrikeBuggy Classic uses the tried and true Stainless Steel Kite Buggy as the foundation for this unique PPG Trike. The Low Hangpoint System 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! The low CG (center of gravity) is the same as the other TrikeBuggy Trikes, since we are using the same low seat and comfortable reclined seat position made possible by the Stainless Steel Buggy. At 7" off the ground, this is the lowest pilot seat of any ultralight aircraft available today. The optional TrikeBuggy Classic A-Assists offer the pilot the choice of adding an effortless launch assistant. This great accessory 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 most every time. The glider gets the best chance at a perfect inflation, since the A-Assists always pull evenly on the risers during inflation. TrikeBuggy Classic Tandem photos:
