FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What Do I Need to Fly?
To get airborne, you’ll need a wing, a motor, and a helmet with ear protection. Many pilots also prefer radios for communication, strobes for visibility, and the added safety of a reserve parachute. There’s no need to shop around—we offer a variety of top-tier paramotor and wing brands to suit your needs. We’ll guide you through assembling and setting up your gear to ensure everything is safe and ready for flight, so you can focus on your training with confidence.
Can I Buy Gear From Mojo’s?
Absolutely! We are a full-service Powered Paragliding company partnered with some of the best brands in the world, offering the lightest and highest-quality equipment available. When you buy from us, you get more than just gear; you gain access to expert service and our full support. Plus, purchasing locally ensures your gear is always in great hands and helps strengthen the Mojo’s community.
How Much Does Gear Typically Cost?
The prices of powered paragliding gear are usually hard to find online because there are so many options and configurations. All gear is not considered equal, so you’ll pay a little more for lighter gear, better durability, and quality. Trust us, that’s what you want when you’re flying into the sky. Since price is largely dependent on what you want to do with it, size and weight, quality of the gear, and our discounts, you should expect to pay approximately:
- Wings will typically start around $3,200
- Motors will typically start around $7,500
- Helmets, reserve parachutes, and other accessories will vary, but I’d assume about $1,500.
This is about what you should expect to pay for a private pilot license, a motorcycle, or a bass boat… but this comes with a fraction of the maintenance and fuel costs and doesn’t require insurance!
Should I Buy Equipment First?
NO! We recommend consulting with us before purchasing any gear to ensure it’s the right fit for your size, experience, and intended use. The most common mistake we see is students buying gear that’s not suited to them, which can lead to wasted time and money. Let us help you make the best choice so you’re set up for success from the start.
If you already have gear, no worries—we’ll train you on it if it’s safe and suitable for your experience level. However, if we didn’t sell it to you, you’ll be responsible for your own maintenance, and we may require you to use our school equipment for training.
Is There a Weight Limit?
Don’t let your weight or physical condition stop you from learning to fly a powered paraglider. We teach wheel launch and foot launch powered paragliding, so we can accommodate most anyone. It is usually a matter of what kind of equipment you need, and there is equipment for nearly all people regardless of size.
We try to have school equipment that will accommodate most aspiring pilots, but may run into special cases where you may have to buy specialty gear up front to learn on. If you have questions or concerns, reach out to us and let’s talk about a custom plan for you.
