Engines are cheating. Good pilots don't need one :)
Joke aside, while having an engine is comfortable, no need to wait for hours for the right moment, no need to struggle to stay in the air, it removes a huge part of the fun which is staying in the air and gain altitude.

A weight-shift trike is more like a hang glider anyway.
