Paravelo: The world's first flying bicycle

By Bill -



Takes off from any open space and reaches 4,000ft
Travels at 15mph on land and 25mph in the air
Pioneering ‘door-to-door’ concept - a roadable aircraft that packs down to store inside your house or office
Features a built-in tent for flamping (fly/camping)
Heralds an era of safe, practical and affordable personal flight
This is a brand new type of ultra-light aircraft – the combination of a para wing and conventional bicycle we call paravelo.
The paravelo is aimed at those who have a thirst for adventure, but are without, perhaps, the storage space or bank balance to accommodate a helicopter. 
As well suited to someone living in London as Mojave, we believe the paravelo can transform the way we travel for work, leisure and adventure.

Installation is a 5-minute job (assuming you have already replaced your cassette with a cog, and shortened your chain as much as possible). Simply remove the skewer nut and slide the black aluminum mounting bracket onto the dropout. Then loosely bolt the stainless steel arm to the bracket and the derailleur hanger with two 5mm bolts. Replace the skewer nut. Rotate the cranks until the chain is at its tightest. (Very few chainrings and cogs are perfectly round.) Lift up on the arm so that the red pulley pushes the chain upward, removing the slack, and tighten the two 5mm bolts. That...
