In German \"Motorsegler\" doesn\'t mean a sailing boat with a 5 PS auxiliary motor (we would call it \"nutshell\") but a boat where the motor is strong enough to handle the boat without sails even at a rough sea.

Although I grant the above use of motorised glider, I hardly think the wares you are talking about often take off.... at least, not into the air.
