Description
We have a ‘one off’ X-ONE Trike for sale. Used as a demo only. Minimal wear and tear with an ‘As new look’ suiting a new buyer.
Known among trike pilots as the Bees knees of trikes this unit has been equipped with the comfort seat that comes with extra cushioning.
This particular unit comes with a brand new Engine mount for a Vittorazi Cosmos 300 mount, alone valued at $1500 plus freight. See picture 3 and 4.
The engine needs to be purchase separately. We can get you a price for one of these and also quote you on fitting. Vittorazi Cosmos 300 is available in 3 configurations. Allow approximately 8.5-10K for supplying the motor.
Pull start, Single spark
Dual Start Single spark

Originally it had a Polini 250 mount and motor that was parted out to another X-one owner. I flew with the Cosmos engine on a customers machine and decided it is the best power to weight motor available. The Smoothness is something to be experienced as well as the extended TBO, Time before overhaul.
The trike is also able to take any other paramotor with some modifications to the frame of that paramotor however it works best with a paramotor that has a double ring cage for extra rigidity. Some single ringed cages are acceptable.
There is however a cage included. It is is the upgraded version and can take a 1.6m propeller which allows maximum efficiency. The quoted thrust is 110Kgs of force produced from a three blade 1.6m propeller on the Cosmos 300cc motor
Picture 1, is the XL cage suitable for propellers up to 1.6M
Picture 2 Shows the colours of the X-one as well as the comfort seat.
Picture 3 – Show the rear of the trike with the Vittorazi mount in position. The mount provides an exact location of the thrust line for the Vittorazi Cosmos engine.
Picture 4- Shows the side view. A basic Altimeter has been fitted to the control panel. This is easily replaced and further more a new face is available for that panel if required.
The X-ONE provides security, diversity in the engine choice, convenience and generous seating for flight comfort
The tank has a capacity of 28 litres. A long continuous flight time is possible beyond what even the gifted pilot could handle.
The shock absorbers have a long suspension travel up to 25 cm. The DULV (German Ultra light certification body) have vigorous standards that the X- one has complied with. I have and currently own and operate a retracta trike which retails for around $2200. Exceptional unit design that fits a different category altogether. Previously Fresh breeze had the ‘skip one’ which was a solid unit. The advantage of the X-One is stability on launch as well as visibility.
The damper absorbs rough take offs and landing terrain, as well as suspension for landing. Especially useful for people learning about flair timing or for landing in thermic conditions.
The rear wheelbase of 175 cm provides high stability for the Trike. Having used this trike for training purposes we are convinced that the extra wide wheel base, coupled with the low center of gravity, makes it one of the easiest wheelbases to learn on and by far one of the best long range trikes to do extended flights.
As a standard fitting this trike has an automatic “a” assistance. The launching sequence with the “a” assist results in the pilot not needing to hold the A’s and allows them to concentrate on braking the surge only. Generally trike without A assist rely on the pilot to man handle the wing up on launch. Over the years I have seen many students unable to extend their arms sufficiently for this action. Fresh Breeze have been adding A-assist to their trikes for 20+ years and it adds to the pleasure of flying such a machine.
