Choose by pilot weight

Pilot weight is the first filter. Light pilots (50–100 kg) suit the F-light 160. Mid-weight pilots (70–120 kg) suit the F-light 200. Heavier pilots, and anyone planning tandem flights, should look at the Ranger or Instinct 230 (up to 200 kg).

Paramotor questions

Which paramotor is best for a beginner?

Most beginners do well on a light, simple machine such as the F-light 160 or 200. Choose by your body weight (see the pilot weight range) and talk to your instructor before you buy.

Can I fly tandem with a paramotor?

Yes, on the machines marked Tandem: F-light 200, Rodeo Blue Line, Instinct and Ranger. You require an approved tandem wing and harness.

Do I need a trike?

No. Every machine here can be flown on foot. A trike adds wheels for take-off and landing and suits heavier pilots or anyone who prefers to sit. The F-light range is foot-launch only.

How much is a Nirvana paramotor in South Africa?

Price depends on the machine, options and the current exchange rate. Contact Nirvana Aero for a quote.

Can I train and buy from the same place?

Yes. Nirvana Aero trains pilots and sells all the equipment you need. Students can also bring their own equipment, and we assess it for quality and suitability before training starts.

These machines also fly conservation missions

See how the same paramotors power aerial game counts, anti-poaching cover and wildlife surveys.
