Hi I weigh around 125 KG and suffered a spinal injury some years ago so with a combination of the bad back and being a fatty my running is somewhat limited. I took up paramortoring after my accident and have always found foot launching quite a challenge and tended to only fly on days with a reasonable wind. My first paramotor was an MZ 34 loads of grant but heavy I flew this with different older paraglider wings which can be picked up for a couple of hundred pounds. The MZ eventually gave up the ghost and I swapped to Simonini MINI 2 PLUS which proved to be very reliable and had plenty of power to get me into the air. With the change in the rules regarding trikes that's the way I have now gone, so much easier than foot launching and I'm happily flying with no wind at all. the trike is a home built using a V3 with 190 and a paramania REVO 2 29. Takeoff run is quite long but who cares when you've got wheels and with all the weight it's quite fast once you're up there. In short what I'm trying to say if you're like me go for the trike you won't regret it.
until
