SP140 V2.5 Electric Paramotor
The SP140 V2.5 is the latest generation electric paramotor — and honestly, it’s impressive. Clean, simple, and built to fly. No carb to mess with. No oil to mix. No pull-start while it’s on your back. Just push a button and go.
We’ve carried a lot of motors over the years, and electric power has come a long way. The SP140 outperforms traditional gas motors in thrust, weight, vibration, noise, and reliability. For the right pilot — especially anyone who wants to fly more and wrench less — this thing is hard to beat.
If you have questions or want to talk through whether this is the right setup for your size and flying goals, call us. We’re here 7 days a week.
“I’ve owned and flown nearly every unit on the market. Most of them were a mechanical nightmare at some point — and they sure didn’t tell you that when you bought them. That’s exactly why I’m picky about what we sell here at FlightJunkies.
The SP140 electric is one of those rare units that actually does what it promises. Fewer moving parts means fewer problems in the field. No carb. No choke. No kidding around. You push a button and it goes. I’ve seen guys spend more time wrenching on a gas motor than actually flying — and that is no way to enjoy this sport.
If you’re serious about getting up in the air and staying there, give this motor a hard look. And as always — CALL ME FIRST. I want to make sure you’re matched with the right equipment for your weight and flying style. That’s not a sales pitch, that’s experience talking.”

What Makes the SP140 Different
🚗 Easy Transport & Storage
No gas. No oil. No fumes. You can literally toss this in the back seat of your car or store it in your living room. It’s one of the nicest things about going electric — no more sniff-testing the trunk on the way home.
⚖️ Lightweight & Well-Balanced
It’s lighter than the average gas motor and the weight sits high and close to your back — which means it feels even lighter than the scale says. The smaller 2.6 kWh battery shaves another 24 lbs if you’re thermaling, training, or just want a quicker flight.
🔧 Zero Maintenance
No carb to rebuild. No rings to check. No two-stroke mix to get right. Electric motors just don’t need the constant attention that gas engines do — and that’s not a small thing when you’re trying to get in the air on a nice morning. It comes with an industry-first 12-month / 300-hour warranty. Most gas motors offer half that — if they offer anything at all.
💪 Fewer Parts, More Reliability
There’s a reason electric motors are used in industrial settings where failure isn’t an option. Fewer moving parts means fewer things that can go wrong in the field. That’s not marketing — that’s physics.
💰 Genuinely Affordable to Operate
The SP140 starts around $500 less than a typical gas motor and about $4,000 less than the average electric competitor. But here’s the real kicker: in the USA, electric flight costs about $0.60/hour versus $7.50/hour for gas and oil. The more you fly, the more you save. Gas motors get more expensive the more you use them. This one gets cheaper.
⚡ Instant, Precise Throttle
Electric motors respond instantly and linearly — no bog, no delay, no hunting. You get exactly what you ask for from the throttle, every time. That’s something a two-stroke simply can’t do.
✅ Push-Button Start
No pull-starting with a motor on your back. No idle — which means the prop isn’t spinning while you’re launching your wing, keeping your lines well out of harm’s way. This is a big deal for safety and for peace of mind.
📱 Always Up to Date
Cruise control and an altimeter are already built into the controller. Firmware updates via USB-C or a phone app mean your motor stays current without sending it anywhere. It’s genuinely future-proof.
🔄 Gas OR Electric — Your Choice
The SP140 frame works with both electric and ICE (gas) powerplants. Start electric, switch to gas, or vice versa — same frame, same harness, same gooseneck bars. You’re not locked in. That’s flexibility you won’t find on most other platforms.
🔓 Fully Open Source
Want to modify the firmware? Design a custom part? Go for it. The entire system is open source — hardware and software. No other paramotor on the market offers this level of access and freedom. If you’re a tinkerer, you’ll love it. If you’re not, you’ll never need to touch it.
The SP140 isn’t just affordable to buy — it’s affordable to fly.
Gas motors cost more the more you use them: fuel, oil, maintenance, rebuilds. With the SP140, the battery is included — so you’re essentially pre-paying for fuel at about $0.60/hour. The more hours you put on it, the better the value gets.
That’s a fundamentally different way to own a motor. And it’s one of the main reasons we started carrying this unit.

What’s Included
Everything you need to fly, right out of the box:
- 25 kW high-efficiency brushless motor
- High-efficiency, weatherproof motor controller
- 140 cm carbon fiber E-prop (bi-blade or tri-blade)
- Throttle controller with built-in altimeter, haptic feedback, and EICAS display system — compatible with external displays (phone or tablet)

“Unlike a traditional two-stroke there is no engine to idle — throttling-off produces silence… That’s so cool.”

Call us before you order. I mean that. I’ve been doing this for a long time and I’ve seen too many people get the wrong equipment for their size and weight — and it’s not just a waste of money, it can be genuinely dangerous. We’ll talk through your options and make sure you’re set up right from day one.
Once we’ve confirmed it’s the right fit, you can order through the link below. All sales are final, which is exactly why we want to talk first.
