A paramotor is the generic name given to the propulsive portion of a powered paraglider. It contains the motor, propeller, harness (with integrated seat), cage and all accessories that is attached to a paraglider wing for powered flight. Usually lightweight two-stroke engine. The term originated in France in 1986 when La Mouette began adapting power to the then-new paraglider wings. Pilots who fly these engage in Paramotoring, also known as Powered paragliding. In the USA, Paramotoring is represented by the USPPA (www.USPPA.org).
