FAR 103 is Alive and Well!
 The TrikeBuggy PPG and Delta Trikes are inspired from designs that are both visually appealing and highly functional. Our Flying TrikeBuggies are all FAA Part 103 legal as Ultralight Vehicles, allowing us to realize and enjoy our dreams of flight.
Four Toys in One!
The TrikeBuggy gives you Four ways to play - as a powered paraglider trike, a delta hang glider trike and, when it gets too windy, as a landsailer and a kite buggy. This simple ultralight aircraft allows the user to adapt the buggy to their preferred use.

The TrikeBuggy is quite simply a microlight aircraft made for solo flight utilizing a PPG motor attached to a Flexifoil Kite Buggy with our unique frame design and a paraglider wing to achieve flight.
It is an extremely comfortable and easy to use personal aircraft that is just plain fun to fly! More... |

With this simple PPG Trike, the control of the wing is as natural as a bird: dip your left arm like the wing on a bird, and your craft turns left! Look right and lower your right arm and you turn right. Level flight is done by having a relaxed, light touch of the hands on the toggles. Totally intuitive and completely natural feel compared with any other aircraft available today. More... |

TrikeBuggy has a complete syllabus and practical training course focused on the PPG Trike - specially designed to get you into the air quickly, confidently and safely!
PPG Trikes require a specific set of skills that are different from foot launched PPG. Mastering the inflation, taxiing, launching and landing techniques are the primary focus of our practical instruction, as well as al the other factors needed to be a competent pilot.
Watch videos of our students, many of which show their first flights on their new TrikeBuggies! More... |

The first flight tests of the hang glider version of the TrikeBuggy were done on August 14, 2007 at El Mirage Dry Lake, CA. The glider used was a Wills Wing Falcon 1 Tandem 225 and the power was supplied by a Fresh Breeze Simonini paramotor.
The result was excellent! The first prototype was flown for over two hours, with over 40 touch-and-go launches and landings. Taxiing on this little buggy is a real pleasure! We have now had over a dozen days of testing, all of which have been successful! Photos... ...Video! |

Lately, there's been a lot of discussion on a subject that's come up a couple of times before - the concept of launching on wheels just to get airborne, then leaving them behind to fly and land without the trike attached. The trike simply disengages as soon as the pilot attains flight. The pilot will still have to land on their feet, and the trike will have to be removed from the launching field by someone.
Quite often, there is no wind early when launching, but by the time we are finshed flying, there is sometimes a breeze to land with. Some pilots still like to feel the freedom of the PPG harness only while flying, but have a hard time launching in nil winds. Soon, pilots will be able to take advantage of our latest offering - The TrikeBuggy Breakaway! More to come soon, but here's the first VIDEO of a couple of launches, and some more pictures. |
