Riding isn’t exactly the right word since a Skycycle is an Ultralight aircraft, but that is sort of what it feels like- very cool. After another lesson last week, I am pretty hooked. I am fortunate to have a really good instructor who not only really knows Ultralight trikes (also called weight-shift Ultralights), but is also very good at reading his student’s ability and comfort level. This helps a lot and actually makes the learning fun and not scary or tedious. We practiced turns and take-offs & landings. A total blast.
If you are into bikes, you would also probably like Ultralights with the “out in the air” freedom and visibility. The Ultralights themselves are not too expensive, but plan on spending about 1000.00 on instruction before you solo. Is it your cup of tea? You won’t know until you take a demo ride and see. If you check around your area, there is likely someone who teaches and can give you a ride. Even if you decide against lessons, the ride will be worth it!
