We are extremely excited to bring you the new “Ergo” throttle. Just like before, our goal is to offer a perfect throttle that responds to your input but doesn’t interfere with your flying. Our throttles are light, simple, extremely comfortable, intuitive to use and offer the best bang for your buck. The kill switch is easy to find but it’s recessed and you won’t press it accidentally.  
 
The new custom molded ergonomic foam grip is a game changer. It positions the throttle in your hand at a perfect angle of attack, exactly where it should be, no matter what you do while flying. This unique feature is a first in the industry, and you will wonder how you ever controlled your paramotor without it. Don’t be fooled. This is not just another foam grip that adds some minor comfort. It completely changes how this throttle operates and feels in your hand.

Electric Start

The Electric Start model has been completely redesigned and perfected. The button is small and discreetly located below your wrist, preserving the Ergo grip. It can be pressed from either side and only when you intend to start the engine. The button is completely out of the way from risers and lines so it cannot be pressed without your intent.

Float Bowl (Polini, Sky Engines)

There is a new dedicated model for float bowl carburetors (including a thread on the carb end that works with Polini and Sky Engines). This includes the Electric Start model.

Features

  • The throttle can be switched from right to left handed operation (including cruise control and e-start models)
  • Fully Plug-n-Play for most engines (no more crimping or zip-ties)
  • The lever comes with a notch which lets you trim it for a more aggressive/ergonomic 2-finger operation or keep it as is for precise, 3-finger control
  • High quality multi strand silicone wire with a simplified one wire connection kill switch connection
  • The last 2.5″ of the cable are bendable to accommodate E-Start engines with less install room
  • The strap can easily be adjusted, even in flight. You can pick between a standard strap or elastic
  • All-composite construction. This throttle is light and comfortable and doesn’t freeze your hands in winter flying
  • Permanently integrated Velcro frame attachment straps

Cruise Control

The cruise control lever is engaged by rotating it forward. With light pressure the lever is held in position to hold steady RPM but it can be adjusted by simply moving the lever back and forth at any time and released by pushing it forward with your fingers in case of an emergency. 

The lever angle is adjustable (it’s spring loaded so you can pull it away from the body and rotate it into any position). Unlike other throttles with a cruise control knob, our lever cannot loosen itself and fall off by itself. Its range is limited by hard stops on both sides. There is also now a friction spring which prevents it from moving on its own if you bump it on your risers. 

Our Throttles are Plug-N-Play for most engines

Our throttles are an ideal length for both left and right side. They come fully finished and pre-crimped. This makes them plug and play for most engines with Walbro and Tillotson style carbs and on most frames. The last 2.5″ can be heated up and bent to form a 90 degree elbow for Dual Start Moster or otherwise tight spaces. 

Permanently integrated Quick-Service Velcro frame connections

Our throttles come with built in Velcro straps that are used to attach it to the frame. 

Premium Materials and Lightweight Construction

The main tube is made from carbon fiber. The lever and top/bottom bodies are made from a durable and lightweight Nylon material. No shortcuts are taken in the manufacturing of this product and it’s proudly 100% produced and finished in-house in the USA. It comes backed by a one year warranty.

RELEASE OF LIABILITY, WAIVER OF CLAIMS, ASSUMPTION OF RISK & INDEMITY AGREEMENT

WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING!
THIS IS A RELEASE OF LIABILITY & WAIVER OF CERTAIN LEGAL RIGHTS
INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO SUE OR CLAIM COMPENSATION

  1. I understand that each person participating in the Activity is a “Participant.” I am signing this on my own behalf and, if a Participant is under the age of 18, I am signing as that Participant’s parent or legal guardian.

  2. I understand that certain recreational activities that are conducted using equipment and accessories produced, assembled or sold by Iris Paramotor LLC, including but not limited to, paramotoring (also known as Powered Paragliding or “PPG”), paragliding, kiting /ground handling, gear maintenance, storage, transport, assembly and other directly or indirectly related activities, whether guided, instructed, self-directed or otherwise, including but not limited to, use of the equipment and accessories and our facilities (including parking lots, showroom, walkways, event tents) used for service, sale, instruction or for any other related reason (the “Activities”), CAN BE HAZARDOUS AND PRESENT A RISK OF SERIOUS PHYSICAL INJURY OR DEATH.

     

  3. I understand that in the United States, powered paragliding and some of the Activities listed above are classified under FAA Regulations part 103.7 as Ultralight Vehicles. It states that “An ultralight vehicle is not subject to Federal aircraft certification and maintenance standards.” and that “There is no assurance that a particular ultralight vehicle will have consistent performance, controllability, structural integrity, or maintenance. Your safety, and potentially that of others depends on your adherence to good operation and maintenance practices. This includes proper preflight techniques, operation of the vehicle within the manufacturer’s recommended flight envelope, operation only in safe weather conditions, and providing safety devices in anticipation of emergencies. Part 103 is based on the assumption that any individual who elects to fly an ultralight vehicle has-assessed the dangers involved and assumes personal responsibility for his/her safety.”

    I understand that by the inherent nature of these Activities and current regulations for the equipment and accessories used to participate these Activities, no manufacturing, testing or operational safety standards exist; I am knowingly choosing to use equipment to engage in Activities that are experimental in nature and are are not just uncertified but also uncertifiable.

6. Additionally, in consideration for allowing the Participant to participate in the Activity, I AGREE, to the greatest extent permitted by law, TO WAIVE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AGAINST AND TO HOLD HARMLESS, RELEASE, INDEMNIFY, AND AGREE NOT TO SUE Iris Paramotor LLC and all their respective insurance companies, successors in interest, commercial & corporate sponsors, affiliates, agents, employees, contractors, representatives, assignees, officers, directors, and shareholders (each a “Released Party”) FOR ANY INJURY, INCLUDING DEATH, LOSS, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR EXPENSE, WHICH I OR PARTICIPANT MAY SUFFER, ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART OUT OF PARTICIPANT’S PARTICIPATION IN THE ACTIVITY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE CLAIMS BASED ON ANY RELEASED PARTY’S ALLEGED OR ACTUAL NEGLIGENCE OR BREACH OF ANY CONTRACT AND/OR EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR BREACH OF ANY STATUTORY OR OTHER DUTY OF CARE. I UNDERSTAND THAT NEGLIGENCE INCLUDES FAILURE ON THE PART OF ANY RELEASED PARTY TO TAKE REASONABLE STEPS TO SAFEGUARD OR PROTECT AGAINST THE RISKS, DANGERS AND HAZARDS OF THE ACTIVITY.

In further consideration for allowing Participant to participate in the Activity, I FURTHER RELEASE AND GIVE UP ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AND RIGHTS THAT I MAY NOW HAVE AGAINST ANY RELEASED PARTY AND UNDERSTAND THIS RELEASES ALL CLAIMS, INCLUDING THOSE OF WHICH I AM NOT AWARE, THOSE NOT MENTIONED IN THIS RELEASE AND THOSE RESULTING FROM ANYTHING WHICH HAS HAPPENED UP TO NOW.
