This section started with the production of reinforced wings for trikes powered by two stroke engines, produced, until this moment in Italy, only by small artisans, or self constructors In 1985 Polaris opened the motor division : Polaris Motor srl, to serve the growing up market of motorized hang-gliders (weight shift ultralights). In Aprill 2009 the ST-Electro was certified by DMSV (German certification centre).Polaris srl was founded in 1982 by a group of hang-glider pilots under the direction of Doi Malingri, a well known Italian ocean racer, pilot and writer.The small company located in the most popular site for hang-gliding in central Italy, Monte Cucco, became soon one of the leading manufacturers in Europe, with more than 1000 wings produced per year. The combination of ST-Electro with trike ST-Freestyle was the first certified combination with the electric engine in Germany. All engines are produced and tested in Switzerland. We succeed to combine the excellent quality with the high safety and performance. The engine is 100% maintenance-free and the battery guarantees at least 1000 charging cycles. Moreover, ST-Electro needs very little maintenance, what makes the flying with it even more enjoyable and less expensive. With the electric engine, you have the “fuel” prepaid – the cost for electricity used during charging are negligible when you compare it with the petrol and oil needed for the petrol engines. The relatively higher cost of the engine by the purchase is decreased when you count the price for the flight hour. With combination with our ST-Freestyle trike, also the pilots who don´t want to start with a foot launch can enjoy the flight. You can fly both the thermals during the day or enjoy the evening flight. This makes it possible to fly as much as twice longer as is the battery capacity when the weather conditions are good. We paid special attention to the propeller, glider and motor optimisation, so that the level flight has the minimal usage of energy. With our latest system and 50AH battery, you can fly without a thermal more than 45 minutes. We used our extensive experience in paramotor production, propeller optimisation and finding the balance between the motor and the wing. We developed our ST-Electro system by integrating a motor from Werner Eck and Joachim Geiger in our titanium frames. Since July 2015, it is legal to fly our ST-Electro in Switzerland! This combination is since April 2009 approved by DMSV and authorised in Germany. Adding of the battery power and flight time is almost unlimited with this concept. In connection with our ST-FREESTYLE trike, every pilot can enjoy the silent and ecological way of flying. The ST-ELECTRO is up to the expectations of the high standard series the demands of modern aviation. Our system is designed on one hand as a climbing aid for mountain pilots, as well as a fully-fledged aircraft for paramotor pilots. The electric paramotor ST-Electro is a sophisticated aircraft, which is built according to the most modern standards of electric engines.
