The Flying Ohm: an electric paramotor project
The Flying Ohm is an ''open source'' electric paramotor project designed and built by Matthieu Boisson and Sébastien Gosse.
These two friends are convinced that the future of microlight flying lies in using cleaner, quieter technology. Beyond the fact that electric flight emits no greenhouse gases, the noise generated by this activity is becoming an ever hotter issue. On this point, the electric paramotor is clearly a solution for the future. The difference in level flight is huge and clearly favours the electric, where only the propeller noise can be heard at a short distance.
With that in mind, and to keep their paramotoring going in the years to come, they set themselves the challenge of designing a reliable, affordable electric paramotor.
Their aim is to give as many people as possible access to electric paramotor flying.
To that end, they have decided to share the Flying Ohm as open source, with all its information, tests, articles, technical videos and plans, on their website www.flying-ohm.com

More than just another electric paramotor, the Flying Ohm is first and foremost a kit for electrifying a petrol paramotor. From the start, the whole electrical side was designed to be easy to fit on as many paramotor frames as possible.
The aim of the Flying Ohm kit is to combine an ecological approach by letting people who want to go electric keep the frame and harness from their petrol engine, while making significant savings.
As well as the website, the Flying Ohm project is also on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. Feel free to follow them to stay up to date with the latest news and photos.
If the project interests you and you would like to talk to Sébastien or Matthieu, feel free to contact them through the website or social media; they will be happy to answer.
