I almost bought one of those. It was 50 50 as to buy a kit or a paramotor. I then went for a ride in spuds car. Mostly sideways lol and decided on the car. I figures I can get up early go for a spin and be back for breakfast whereas any other hobby takes you away from your family for most of the day.

The engine they use are good now. About 18hp but only weigh about 10kg.
