Its called Hypershell, battery powered assist for hiking and running. I cannot believe it, yet I’m not surprised.
I’ve seen this joked about before but apparently it’s reality.

Good points but if this thing actually works it will be used by fit 30 year olds because they think it’ll help them go ‘harder’. Most e-bikes I see are used by younger fit people, not 70 year olds still trying to ride.
Ironically the 30 year olds won’t go harder, they just won’t gain the fitness to enable them to go harder. Same thing with newer younger e-bikers, they ride fast out of the box…no need to develop skills or session a technical climb to figure out the line. It reminds me of amateur auto racing, the new racer in a Corvette will never be better than the Spec Miata guy, though he’ll certainly be faster.
The exoskeleton power assist system is awesome news for people who are mobility challenged. Can you imagen people who are crippled or wheel chair bound can walk or hike on local trails? That is awesome news.

I saw a kickstarter for one of those last week; can't wait to read all the posts in hiker forums with people talking about how they can "get in their miles in half the time" because they live such busy and important lives...
Wonder if the battery runs out if you stuck putting in "extra effort to walk" the way a stranded ebiker has to ride a heavier bike with extra resistance in the drivetrain. At least they can take it off and then just have the extra weight to carry...

This will enable hikers to cover more ground on a hike which will mean more damage than a normal hiker. We're doomed. (Sick vid though)

This is the beginning of a new era of E-foot people. Just wait until the 10HP version arrives and all hell breaks loose.

An e-hiker almost ran into me while I was walking. I could have been injured! Ban them!

You totally sure about that? I mean, maybe you hit Taco Bell on the way to the trailhead...
