Even the most extreme adventurers have their limitations. As for us mere mortals, hiking may be an activity that we love whether or not we’re in the proper physical condition to head into the wilderness for hours (and miles) on end. While walking and hiking may boast fantastic health benefits, there’s definite value to the actual experience side of the activity that many of us may have to miss out on from time to time.
Now, there’s a device that can help us go the extra miles without having to put unwanted strain on our bodies. Hypershell Pro is an AI-powered exoskeleton that serves as an ergonomic aid around our lower backs and legs to push us past our limitations when venturing outdoors. Taking around 66lbs of the load off our bodies, the device uses some of the most advanced robotics available to get the job done, with a 100Wh high-polymer lithium battery that gives us an extra 16 miles of use on a single charge.
With a 1hp output, the Hypershell can also reach speeds up to 12mph with 9 adaptive copilot modes. Weighing just 4lbs, it also folds up nicely to fit inside most backpacks and the IP54 weatherproof rating guarantees that it can handle most outdoor conditions.
Currently being funded on Kickstarter through April 6, the Hypershell Pro can be yours for the early bird price of HK $3,129 (~$399), with the lower-tiered Hypershell Go option available as well.
