What is OpenPPG SP140?

The OpenPPG SP140 is a state-of-the-art electric paramotor designed to offer pilots an unparalleled flying experience. Unlike traditional gas-powered paramotors, the SP140 is powered by a high-efficiency electric propulsion system, making it a quieter, cleaner, and easier-to-maintain alternative.


Crafted with precision, the SP140 reflects the future of personal flight. It combines innovative electric technology with practical design to address the pain points of traditional paramotoring.


Key highlights of the SP140 include its all-electric motor, lightweight frame, tool-free assembly, and a user-friendly approach that makes flying accessible to everyone.

But what truly sets the SP140 apart? Its features.


Key Features and Benefits


Low Cost Per Hour of Flying

Flying costs can pile up with gas motors. The SP140, however, operates at an astonishingly low $0.60 per hour, compared to $11.69 for gas motors! For pilots on a budget, this can dramatically reduce flying expenses while providing the same thrill and freedom in the air.


Intuitive Hand Control

The SP140 has an easy-to-use hand controller that simplifies the flying process. With just a few buttons and a joystick, pilots can easily control their flight and make adjustments as needed. This intuitive design makes the SP140 ideal for beginners and experienced pilots alike.

The SP140 offers two different flight modes to cater to all levels of experience: chill, and sport. Each mode adjusts factors such as speed, altitude, and handling to suit different skill levels. Pilots can switch between modes with ease using the hand controller.


Maintenance-Free Reliability

Traditional paramotors with internal combustion engines require frequent maintenance, from oil changes to fixing intricate parts. The SP140’s electric motor has only one moving part, which translates to hassle-free reliability. You can spend less time maintaining your paramotor and more time enjoying the skies.


No Gas or Oil Mess

Hate the smell of gas lingering on your gear or cleaning up oil spills? With the SP140, those hassles disappear. Its battery-powered engine eliminates the need for messy fuels, leaving behind only clean, enjoyable flights.


Easier Storage and Transport

Whether you have a compact car or minimal storage space, the SP140 is perfect for you. Its lightweight design and convenient pack-down size allow it to fit comfortably in the trunk of a car. Better yet, it can be disassembled in under five minutes without tools, making transport a breeze.


No Extra Equipment Needed

Unlike many paramotors that require external trailers or extra gear, the SP140 is built to keep things simple. Pack, assemble, and go without worrying about hauling cumbersome equipment.


Lightweight and Efficient Design

Flying should feel free, not heavy. The SP140’s lightweight frame makes it easier to handle and transport, while still delivering exceptional power and thrust. The SP140 maxes out at 75lbs when fully assembled.

Dual Compatibility with Electric and Gasoline

Why choose between electric and gasoline when you can have both? The SP140 is designed to swap seamlessly between electric and gasoline motors, offering unmatched versatility. This feature allows you to transition based on your preferences or evolving needs, without replacing the frame.


The Electric Advantage

Electric propulsion isn’t just a feature; it’s a game-changer for paramotoring.


Plug in and Fly

Forget pull-starting frustrations, engine bogging, or warming up a motor. With the SP140, it’s all about simplicity. Plug in, power up, and take off. Real-time power consumption tracking ensures you’ll never be caught off guard mid-flight.


High Efficiency Power System

The SP140 utilizes premium materials, including laser-welded copper bus systems and a smart Bluetooth battery management system (BMS), to deliver industry-leading efficiency. The battery packs are upgradable to newer, more advanced cells as they become available, ensuring your SP140 stays ahead of its time. The latest 2.5 version is smaller in size with 30% more capacity.


Extended Flight Times

Whether it’s a scenic sunset or a daring adventure, the SP140 keeps you soaring. Choose from a 4.8 kWh long-range battery for extended flight times (50 to 80 minutes) or a lighter 2.6 kWh battery for shorter flights. Battery swaps are quick, so you never miss a moment in the skies.

Smooth and Quiet Performance

Compared to traditional motors, the SP140 provides a low-vibration, noise-free experience. Silent engines keep your neighbors happy and reduce distractions, letting you focus on the sheer joy of flying.


Big Power, Minimal Hassle

With 165 lbs of thrust, the SP140’s motor provides 20% more power than most gasoline motors. This means quicker takeoffs, smoother tandem flights, and the flexibility to adjust power output for your comfort.


No matter the scenario, the electric advantage of the SP140 ensures convenience, efficiency, and an incredible flying experience.
