SP140 V2.5 Electric

“The SP140 has truly simplified my setup. I now lay out the wing, strap into the harness, and when I'm ready to go, I grab the controller from the side pocket of the harness, tap and hold the arm button, and within a few seconds it's ready to launch. While cruising around with my new Spider 26M, I've averaged around 30 minutes of flight time using the smaller 2.6kWh battery. The throttle on the SP140 is extremely linear throughout the entire range, making cruise control settings simple and precise. Everyone knows it's powerful, quieter, and smoother — but a pleasant surprise for me came when I moved the unit around. The battery slides out in seconds, I then throw the unit over one shoulder and carry it with ease. I've been flying PPG since 2003, and the SP140 has added a whole new dimension and a more peaceful feeling to my flights.”

“Received my new SP140 this week, got it assembled and took a first flight yesterday — what a great machine. I chose the small 2.6kWh battery for weight reasons (I'm 70 now) and still able to foot launch, although I have a trike I mainly use to drive down the road to my LZ. First flight using 80% of the battery netted me 27 minutes, so I'm also pleased with the duration. At 170 lbs flying a 23M Macpara Colorado, the SP140 has more thrust and is much quieter than what I'm used to, and only a few pounds heavier with the half-size battery. The weight CG is closer and higher on your back, so it actually feels lighter.”

“I recently received my order for a SP140 V2.5 Electric Motor Conversion kit and I couldn't be more impressed! Packaging was very well done with everything protected by the foam box and all parts logically arranged. The quality of the parts is immediately apparent starting with the beautiful red and black anodizing on the motor, motor mounts, and battery. The rainbow shimmer of the titanium hardware adds to the effect. Just like a little kid on Christmas, I quickly assembled the parts (minimal effort required) after watching Paul's assembly video on YouTube. After putting a 40% charge on the Li-Ion battery I did a test run up of the system and everything performed flawlessly. After the initial torque of the start-up, the unit is amazingly smooth and balanced — a considerable difference from my previous experiences with 2-stroke combustion engines.”

“I love being able to break the machine down and put it in the back of my car without smell or leaving stains. Less maintenance for this dad means more time in the air and on the ground with the kids. If something breaks, I can often 3D print it.”

“I love my SP140! It's the weight of an Atom 80, but with the power of a Moster 185.”

“I stopped flying paramotors in 2018 but kept following the development of the electric paramotors with curiosity. Finally bought my SP140 a year ago. I still mainly do XC freeflying but to complement that the electric has been fantastic, allowing me to sneak out for an early morning or late evening scenic flight every now and then. Having two batteries makes sense — getting more airtime per trip to the field. I did update the frame to a Kangook to get more sturdiness and faster setup from the car boot. Overall it has been a great experience and I look forward to the future advancements in battery technology.”

“It is a very well thought-out and compact solution. The modular design makes it extremely easy to replace any damaged frame section if needed, so there is no need to buy a completely new setup — only the damaged parts need to be replaced. Assembly and disassembly are also very convenient and well designed.”

“As a long-time P3 pilot, switching to the SP140 was an easy decision. After two one-hour flights I still had 24% battery left. It's smooth, quiet, and perfect for those of us who don't need three-hour flights — just a clean, reliable way to get our sky fix.”

“After years on a 2-stroke, switching to the SP140 was a relief. No oil, no gas, no constant wrenching. It's cleaner, quieter, doesn't vibrate, and delivers strong thrust. For me, electric just makes flying simpler.”
