Page 4: Manual Flyke
In addition the Flyke can be used as a powered ground vehicle. This mode is not legal on public areas. This manual refers only to the Flyke itself. We assume that the reader is already familiar how to operate the motor. -
Page 5: Setup
The engine mount is on the rear end. It can carry a standard backpack paragliding motor. Adjusting the Length In order to adjust the length of the Flyke the 2 orange screws have to be loosened. Then the square tube can be moved into the required position, and you have to tighten both screws again. -
Page 6: Option: Wider Rear Axle
The Flyke has two independent brakes systems: A cable operated roller brake at the front wheel, and two hydraulic actuated rear drum brakes. As a result of the low center of gravity the Flyke can’t tilt even if the wheels are blocked. So the maximum deceleration can be higher than regular bikes. -

The foot rests can be moved to an upright position. Flight Mode When the Flyke is used as a paraglider trike, the engine has to be attached in the right manner, the push rods have to be moved into an upright position, the paraglider has to be... -

This connection is secured with a short tie belt as shown on the picture. So the engine can’t come loose accidentally. The throttle cable must be brought through the “A”-strut of the Flyke. During long flights or during bike tours it can be put into the hole at the end of the steering lever. -
Page 9: Take-Off
Then the lines can be clamped into this place. Take-Off In this manual we only describe how to operate the Flyke. You should be already familiar with your motor. - 9 -... -
Page 10: General Information
Regular paraglider trikes can be steered with the feet during takeoff. If the paraglider goes to the side the trike can follow. Due to the front drive the Flyke cannot be steered with the feet. But the hands have to control the paraglider. So Fresh Breeze developed a “Power-Steering- System”. -
Page 11: Seat Belt
Look for damage and check for tight seats. And the check of the correct start configuration. The first check is the same as you usually do with your motor, but now the complete Flyke is included. The second check includes this points:... -
Page 12: Take-Off Procedure
Flyke. The Flyke has to be pulled as much forward as possible. The lines must be more or less straight. If the Flyke is too close to the rear edge of the paraglider, the glider will get a sudden impulse when you take off. -
Page 13: Landing
But this leads to the fact that the Flyke is not designed to be driven with engine power on the ground! As the direction of the prop blast changes with the steering angle as well this is also de-stabilizing the whole system. -
Page 14: Maintenance
Maintenance There’s no special maintenance required for the Flyke. Clean it like any other bicycle. Avoid aggressive chemicals and steam cleaner as moisture may be pressed through ball bearing sealings. The roller brake has to be lubricated from time to time according to it’s specific manual. If the brakes don’t work correct they may have to be re-adjusted. -
Page 15: Appendix: Bullix
Appendix: BulliX The Flyke was developed to meet the wishes for individual freedom in the air as well as on the ground. But therefore such a device must be more fragile than a standard trike. And due to the pedal drive the front wheel cannot be foot steered in a traditional manner. -
Page 16: Operation Of The Bullix
Transportation, Disassembly: In the same manner as the Flyke the BulliX can be taken apart by removing the whole front part after the screws under the seat were untightened. As there is no need any more to make the BulliX as small as a bicycle way, we increased the wheel base. - Page 17 For lubrication use silicone oil or Teflon spray or weapon oil. Don’t use mineral based oils as the plastic bushings may swell. Apply the lubricant on the stainless steel tubes and move them up and down a couple of times to distribute the oil. Inflate the balloon tires softly, pressure must be between 0,3 und 0,5 bar (max).
