How Much Does A Paramotor Cost?

The paramotor gives you the greatest freedom of flight. You’re free to fly over the terrain just a few meters away or soar to the heights of the clouds with equipment that fits in the trunk of a van and can be stored in the backyard garage.

Paramotor overview

It is the simplest, cheapest, and safest form of flight, proving to be more attractive than any other aircraft flown so far.

Another definition would be a paraglider powered by an engine that flies safely, easily transportable, in which the take-off is carried out from the feet or from the tricycle and which allows the pilot to fly with great ease both at an altitude of thousands of meters, as well as a few meters from the ground.

The paramotor is simply a motor equipped with propellers. This propulsion unit provides the necessary force for flight. At the same time, it ensures the protection of the pilot during the flight, being equipped with a protective guard.

The paramotor is generally equipped with a 2-stroke engine (there are also cases of 4-stroke engines) starting from 80cc to 210cc, depending on the required power by weight category. The flight time varies depending on the size of the fuel tank, but also on the engine consumption.

In general, the autonomy of a paramotor is between 2 and 4 hours of flight. The paramotor consumes “classic” gasoline from the gas pump, and it is indicated to supply it with a fuel with a higher-octane number.

A paramotor costs on average $7,000. Though, most paramotors you can find online cost much more because paramotor producers that sell new models tend to be more advertised and have a higher rank on search engines compared to the used paramotor sellers.

A brand-new paramotor costs around $8,200. More than half of new paramotors cost anywhere between $1,100 and $8,100. You may find some lower or higher prices, but most new paramotors cost anywhere between $7,100 and $9,100.

For a used paramotor, you will have to pay around $6,000. The majority of the used paramotors cost almost $2,350 less than the original price they were purchased for. However, the price of a used paramotor depends on the age of the model, the number of hours these have been flown, and the perception of the seller regarding its worth.

The main factor that can increase the cost of a given paramotor model includes the material used in the frame and cage, how much horsepower (HP) the engine has, and the number of hours it can stay in the air.

In the following lines, we are going to talk about the prices of some of the most sought-after and bought paramotors on the market.
