With the Start-E
you will no longer lose an opportunity to fly, you'll always be ready to fly where it's good! and when it's good!
Several years of dreams, development, and the achievement of various
prototypes, were used to get a lightweight electric motor kit
adjustable for free flight harness.
The start-E
will allow you to take off in flatlands and take several hundred meters height with a rate of climb of about 2m/s, so you can pick up a dynamic
lift or explore a
wide area to find your first thermal.
You can also leave from your normal takeoff, and use the Start-E to pick up a usually inaccessible confluence, and if you miss a thermal to complete your circuit, the Start-E will give you the boost to finish without having to seek a recovery.

Start-E will open the doors of flights you thought
until now impossible to realise!
A
new way of flying...defenitely free!
Otherwise, with a
battery from 24 Ah, the Start-E is also
an electric PPG, providing thirty minutes of flight using only the engine power.
Ultra
compact, it will always be available in the trunk of your car; instantly ready
to use, this companion is always up for a great
escape as opportunities appears. After
a day of work the
Start-E will take you for a gliding, silently on a “flow of electrons"...
A really easy and eco-friendly paramotor.
Technically, the
Start-E will break all preconceptions that could have on the paramotor and
its design. The recipe: innovate
by developing a new chassis
design which allows it to be
more adaptable, perfectly balanced, simpler and more
efficient.
Made of carbon fiber and kevlar the Start-E
chassis weighs only 1.2 kg. The rest of the weight are from the battery, the motor and propeller.
The structure of the Start-E has been tested far beyond the limits required by the circular ULM-34864.
With a battery of 10 Ah the Start-E weighs only 13 kg, with 24 Ah weighs 18.5 kg, making it probably the world's lightest paramotor, besides with full electron!
The frame is attached and removed in minutes on a real free flight harness, previously upgraded, but the geometry steal unchanged.
Once in the air you will forget the Start-E; it has no influence on
your position or the feeling of
the air and control of your weight; excluding
the effect of a slight increase
in wing loading, you will keep
your free flight feelings
and performances.
Finally Start
-E can be stored with the rest of your equipment (wing, harness , ...) in a
single paragliding bag high enough . The
battery is independent so you can transport it and recharge anywhere.
In France, in the current legislation, the Start-E is considered a
Paramotor (ULM Class 1)
In Germany it has been approved on an experimental basis , a special status for certain electric drives, the outgoing ULM framework were placed under the responsibility of the Free Flight Federation .In Switzerland the regulation is being developed in favour of electric motorization.
Whatever the regulatory aspect, appropriate training and hand deliver will be propose .

The estimated cost of Start-E should be about 10000 € excluding
VAT, all components developed specifically for this purpose (engine,
propeller, battery) are safe and proven, but they represents over 70 % of the
budget ....
However, this investment is balanced by a zero maintenance and
negligible use cost, and a very small devaluation of the whole structure and
engine, being "indestructible". This is to be compared to the cost of gasoline,
oil, wear parts and
devaluation of an internal
combustion engine and the pollutions associated
with it ...
Also the harness
and your glider remains dual-use.
At least, the Start-E will help you to save time and longs travels with offering unique opportunities to accomplish outstanding flights.
You can also send us an email with your contact, in
order to be informed in first-hand about the official release of Start-E.
Start-E photos shown on this page have been carried out with the Go-ProFlypod (see PP 431 P + N ° 14)
Some
details in the pictures have been modify to not
disclose prematurely the concept of Start-E.
Would be brilliant if the production was good enough to lower the prices ;)
