We take tremendous pride in ensuring that every component that goes into a Pterosail is engineered to the highest standards.  We are constantly continuing to innovate and bring you, our valued customer, the very best in wind sailing technology. 

Our design focus is simple.  We simply do not cut corners.  Our patented systems are comprised of high quality materials that have been rigorously tested to ensure longevity, strength, and durability.  We firmly believe that our customers should feel as excited about our products as we are to design and engineer them.

Whether for recreational use or cross-country travel, the Pterosail is designed to be safely used on roads.  The Pterosail is street-legal; anywhere a bike can be ridden, so can a Pterosail.  One of the most important cycling safety factors is visibility. The masts and sail of a Pterosail can be seen from over a mile away.  Past attempts at producing a stable sail trike have failed, largely due to the use of inherently unstable “main” type sails.  Main type sails operate with a “pushing” action while the Pterosail’s jib-based sail “pulls”; this drastically increases stability. 

What makes the Pterosail so different from past attempts at using wind is in the use of a patented system employing a jib-based sail.  The Pterosail’s patented self-tacking jib sail is placed forward of the rider and low to the ground. By using a jib-sail, strong gusts of wind can easily be controlled.  The use of this system results in a highly stable use of wind power for transportation.  Designed with the premier sail designer, North Sails, the sailing system is able to convert even the smallest amount of wind into forward propulsion in a safe and enjoyable manner.
