Yeah I misphrased that, a trike would be specific to something with trike landing gear. Either way, if it has a parachute and a motor, it can be called a "paramotor". A "paraglider" requires the modifier "powered" to accurately describe the Hamas usage, and even still there is a real distinct difference in the construction and design of a paraglider wing and a paramotor wing, because the pendulum action would pretty much ruin a paraglider's lift capacity since it would be trying to stall all the time.
