2024 Electric Paramotor Unboxing- SP140 V2 Frame System
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ต.ค. 2023
- This is an unboxing/assembly video for the new SP140 V2 frame system. In this video we mount the electric power pack on the frame.
The frame setup is the same whether you mount a gas power pack or electric or ever swap between them. This is what make the SP140 V2 frame system so great. It is a low cost modern frame with the high quality components with the option to be used with a gas or electric power system and can be easily upgraded at any time.

Those motion graphics are insane! Nice work on this video.
Amazing engineering
Some day...
About to order mine... just finished training but wanted to go electric. Thanks for the vid I'll be watching it again for assembly. Super excited to skip 90% of the headache of having a 2 stroke
Same here just got my Sp140 from UPS yesterday..can't wait to fly it so excited...had a Blackhawk 125 ....but after a while it caused to much frustration ..
@@antoniotownsell9550 How has it been going? I really want one, but can't afford it yet.
from where can I buy one??
and how much does it cost?
Great timing with the new EFI motor coming out. Both this and the EFI are advancing the sport. I’ve tried the EFI, but have never tried an electric paramotor. As a person who has many issue-free electric powered vehicles, my assumption is that I’d love it. I hope I can experience it soon.
Who makes the motor & what battery is being used here? I'm experimenting with electric motor vehicles too - any info I'd appreciate it!
@@davparksohIt's a Madd motor. The battery is made by open PPG, or they outsource it, but it's their proprietary pack!
I have the founders edition of the SP140 and love mine.....for many reasons! Bill
Pumped for all the improvements. Also loved the cat cameo
Fit and finish looks great! I'm planning to get USPPA training next summer... I'd like to fly this once I become proficient at landing.
So many good changes!!
Beautiful Machine !
As a current owner of the SP 140, the original, I have to say you've done a great job on this new design. The frame now matches the amazing engineering of the motor. Now I'm trying to decide between upgrading to the new frame or just getting a new sp140...
There is nothing new in the motor and battery. Upgrade the frames.
@@sddhvjlsdfhvjlsdfhvlhvkjsbnvsHe mentioned in another video about something new with the motor coming soon, but didn't elaborate on it.
give me ur old one and buy a new one lol -=oP
Looks Great fellas!
As someone just assembling this I'd like to say the netting should be assembled with the hoop as you go. Everything was very tight fitting together which is great and that's what I'd prefer but assembling the hoop and then disassembling it again is so much work and I needed another person to help me squeeze everything together
While I've been dealing in motors and things since I was a kid working with lawnmowers, weedeaters, minibikes, etc... this is the way2go unless you plan on a long distance trip. Most people launch and land at the same place though and fly for fun rather than to actually get somewhere. This is a super sweet piece of kit! It has me thinking about selling some crypto just to get one :D
Great looking unit but two comments, the first is fairly major. You have gone to the trouble of making a dust cover for the throttle connectors, but it doesn't actually hold the connectors in to ensure a good connection and help with strain relief. Your connectors also don't have a lock/clip. You are relying on cable ties. Obviously a disconnected throttle is a major issue. That would be my first improvement.
Second is the opposite rotation of the electric vs engine meaning you have to swap the compensation offset on the gooseneck bars if you swap engines. I guess not a huge issue because it won't happen often, just a minor annoyance. Obvs the electric motor is happy rotating either way and just needs a wiring change, so would just need you to swap the electric prop pitch to make the rotation direction the same.
But nice job, you've come a long way since I last looked a couple of years ago! 🇬🇧
Wow, this is next level. Shame you ran out of daylight towards the end...
Hey! I just bought a very slightly used v1.2 from someone and got it assembled last night. It has the reserve chute side pouch with a reserve, but it's not attached to the harness. I'm pretty sure I can figure it out based on other reserve installs, but I was thinking that might be a good topic to have a new video on. Thanks!
Very nice. What is the flight time like? Obviously depends on the wing, but if I was flying an efficient En-B wing around the top of the manufacturer recommended weight range what would be an estimated flight time?
What wing do you recomend to get the max flight time in a chill and cruisemode flight? Me and my trike weigh less than 100Kg; more or les 85/90Kg. I like smooth flight, no hurry...
Unfortunately I can't see me or others using this at comps in Europe because almost everyone packs their motor down for transport here and this just takes too long compared to the competitors. But this is some amazing engineering and I love the clips.
Whats the reasoning behind why they don't use locking connectors??
Great job at explaining every thing! Any new updates? I would like to know what's the average flight time is and how much it weighs and if any future batteries coming out with longer flight times.
As for updates, the frame is a completely new design. Also the gooseneck bars are a new design.
For the batteries probably not much of a change there small increments better and better but not going to be drastic changes
@@PDWhite ok cool thanks. I'm waiting for an electric Paramotor but I can't do an hour of flight time or less.
How long does the battery last?
This looks like it takes way longer to assemble than the old version. That would be a big problem for anyone who wants to put it in their trunk. Is that true?
As the hoop sections are smaller and pack down more there are more of them to put together so the hoop does take a few mins longer to put together, but its much easire to replace any part like the netting and can fit really well into small spaces. So its tradeoffs.
I'm getting ready to order the SP 140 but still debating the 2 vs. 3 blade prop. I am looking at the quietest possible solution as I live in a very noise sensitive area. I am NOT as concerned about thrust as I had been flying the Atom 80 so anything would be an improvement over that engine (and it worked very well for me). I believe the 3 blade would be a bit smoother but again, the noise (or any higher pitch) would be more of a concern. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
2 blade is quite 👌
I really look forward to the day these can get 90+ minutes flight time. If i could get 90 minutes of mixed flying, I'd be on board as a majority of my flights are 60-75 mins and that leaves me some reserve.
perhaps some discussion about this on the OPENPPG message board? i'll have to check, but the Amprius silicon anode nanowire batteries are going to enable 90+ minute flight times! Perhaps, someone can ask Zach to pursue an OpenPPG SP-140 battery design using these !?!
How easy is break down and rebuild for those of us who currently throw ours in the trunk with the V1? Is it necessary to fully remove the net from each hoop piece each time or can you just remove the hoop pieces from the joint pieces, keeping the net installed in them, and accordion fold as you currently would?
Looks fantastic, thanks for the new video, and stoked to see the dust cover ;-).
No you could leave the netting rods in the tubing but it will have a tendency to want to slide around so maybe a little design for a stopper would be cool. So it locks the netting rods in place.
@@PDWhite Ah yes... that was my concern that they'd just slide out of the tubing. I'll gladly design a stopper or similar solution once it's in hand. Thanks for the reply!
I like your electri paramotor but I like to know how much are they if you can tell and thanks for you video and congratulations
Just ordered mine yesterday and the total with shipping was $7900 including shipping. Could be less with smaller battery and without quick release prop hub.
What's the time distance you get
cage and netting is not the best if you have to mount and unmount every flight to fit it in the car... A good titanium cage with a4 parts fast mount would be great.
How much total weight?
Is it possible to use two of the battery packs at once (with longer standoffs)?
It could be but it wouldn't be very comfortable for foot launching so most people wouldn't want that.
@@PDWhite Can we use a trike to add an extra 3.7kWh battery? Would it run properly or any over voltage mismatch?
@@sddhvjlsdfhvjlsdfhvlhvkjsbnvs that could be done and just run the batteries in parallel.
Please consider how macfly utilizes a s-shaped tubed goose neck bar with a single figure 8 softlink to connect the carabiners for future versions. Much cleaner simple system imo. No bolts or other hardware except for a single plastic friction stopper. Will be getting an electric unit one day.
If you take a look at the V1 Sp140 that is how it was done. It used the titanium gooseneck bars like you're talking about. The reason we switched away from that is the CNC bars are stronger. But we could always go back if we wanted to, but I think the CNC bars are more popular with most people.
from where can I buy one??
How many KW/h is the battery and how heavy is it?
3.7kwh and weights around 42lbs
where can i order one
Brother i m from Pakistan how much price and how many years used please tell me i love paragliding.
Who makes this electric motor? Price?
It's a Madd motor, around 1k bucks.
👍
is there any update on the delayed delivery?
Ya the remaining part we need should be in at the end of the week. All other parts are ready to ship just need that and then we can ship out all orders.
@@PDWhite perfect, thanks for the fast response!
did the parts arrive?
Any history of either the e-motors or battery packs catching fire? That would be a really bad way to go..... I fly a dual start moster with a lipo in a bubble wrap foam home built battery box. I inspect it every 10hours because I know it's the weakest link on my rig. I don't trust it for shit. I once found a nick in the plastic shrink and replaced it because it was rubbing. Had another one start to swell on me, replaced that one too. I don't trust Lipos.
6:58 Woops! It cracked ;]. Probably 3D prints are not so perfect for this type of workload?
What is the total cost?
It depends on what you want or don't want on your paramotor ..You basically build the paramotor up the way you want it from the website.. and ot will the total cost on the last page..
Ball park guess about $8K.
I don't understand how those safety rings work looks like that thing could just unscrew and pull right out
Please price
How much $ are we looking at
Ordered mine yesterday and base price would be around $7000
.. is there a way to eject the battery if it catches fire while you're flying😢
Vous cherchez un importateur France ?
Beautifull E-PPG, but not for beginners who will do many butt-landings. Probably the frame would get twisted or so. Another thing I don't like is that it is a pain to mount and unmount. It would be great if you could design a 3 or 4 peaces frame to mount and unmount quickly...
Is it possible to buy only the electric components without the main frame and without the harness?
I would like to mount the SP140 on my trike using my own frame.
Thanks ;)
The frame is quite strong and if you do break a part all parts are very affordable compared to any other paramotor.
Also if you just want the power pack you can order it on openppg.com just look in the paramotor parts page.
@@openppg I entered your web but it doesnt let me choose only the power pack.
@@openppg All I need is: Motor with all electronics mounted on its support, right hand throttle, and 3,7kw batrery.
How much would that cost?
I got 2 #6 outside connectors and no #2 connector. Can I use the #6 connector for the #2 that I never got?
that looks like the m50c35 eee motor.
Too many parts there’s gotta be a simpler way
?? $ ???
It’s too bad that there are no cases for storing frame elements. 😔
I do want to make a good carry case, whats your favorite example of a carry case you like?
@@PDWhite - It would be nice to make a case in which all the elements of the paramotor would lie in their own cells and fit tightly to each other (without a spare place and with seals against rattling). It would also be nice if the entire case were in the form of a suitcase with carrying straps like a backpack (or possibly with wheels). The wing itself must have its own compression bag. ))
