I don't know about other places but it doesn't look that hard and complicated to get a license to fly a sub 300kg aircraft in Europe. I believe we still call them ULM.

It is even easier to fly a powered paraglider.

This qualifies as a microlight:

And it flies pretty good. Not cheap though, 40 to 50K.

    Someone mentionned the motorcycles. Price is the same ballpark as a Honda Goldwing Tour, a KTM RC 8C and cheaper than a 70k€ MV Agusta Superveloce serie Oro and these motorbikes only let you fly very momentarily (and with high probability that it is the last time) when you are crashing into something.
