The Xplorer XS is a South African paramotor that was designed by Keith Pickersgill and produced by Xplorer UltraFlight of Cape Town for powered paragliding.
[1] The XS was designed to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules as well as European regulations.
It features a paraglider-style wing, single-place accommodation and a single 15 hp (11 kW) Solo 210 engine in pusher configuration with a 2.5:1 ratio reduction drive and a 100 cm (39 in) diameter two-bladed wooden propeller.
The cage assembly breaks down into four parts for ground transport and storage.
Inflight steering is accomplished via handles that actuate the canopy brakes, creating roll and yaw.
