I think its an awesome product, would like to see easier way to change modes without using smartphone, maybe a small display screen for easier use.
As for an additional thing down the road woud be to see an addition that goes further down the leg passed the knee to the ankle to help with lower leg support for
Exceeded all my expectations. Extremely well designed and assembled. The unit feels comfortable to wear and enables me to pick my feet up for the 1st time in years. Very happy with my purchase.
I received my Hypershell Pro X two days ago and I was waiting to test it this Sunday with some decent weather. So, I set myself the challenge of covering as many kilometers as possible on a single battery charge using my city bike. I managed to do about 50-55 km by adjusting the power settings (especially towards the end), as I ran out of battery just before getting home.
Overall, my average speed during this ride was 14 km/h, whereas with a regular non-electric bike, I’m usually between 10 and 11 km/h, and with an electric bike, I’m typically between 15 and 20 km/h. First takeaway: I managed to increase my average speed by 40% over the 4-hour ride. Second point: I felt noticeably less tired than on a normal bike (but a bit more tired than with an e-bike).
Positive points: it’s easy to use, and the app is well-designed. The device is very straightforward, and the results are real. It’s a great tool for providing electric assistance while cycling (I haven’t tried it yet for walking or running).
A few remarks:
The most important: the back and leg support slips down very easily. I had to stop 4-5 times to adjust the exoskeleton properly. I bought some special suspenders that I attached to the device, and I’ll be testing those this week. I think it would be a good idea to design a support that rests on the shoulders to prevent the device from sliding down.
When cycling, the machine’s movements can be quite abrupt and jerky at times. It would be great if the movements felt more natural and smoother—more like physiological, sinusoidal movements, and less abrupt (especially in “hype” mode).
In advanced mode, with 80% assistance, the battery drains (very) quickly. I managed 50 km only because I stayed at 30–50% power in eco mode most of the time, and the device shut off (battery empty) while still showing 10% reserve.
These are the main points I think could be improved for the next model, but for a first generation, it’s really impressive. I’m planning to test it with two of my patients (I’m a doctor), one with multiple sclerosis and another with myopathy, to get their feedback as well.
At 66 years of age I can’t do proper hillwalking any more and need twin trekking poles, but with Exoshell I’m like a mountain goat
After my initial hike of about 5 miles wearing the Hypershell, I felt like I didn't want to take it off. It made the hike so much easier and more comfortable. It really performs as the company says.
funciona perfecto se me ha solucionado lo de caminar en subida
Good morning, I hope to be helpful by sharing a short review of the
Hypershell x product.
I've used the exoskeleton for various mountain activities, especially
with elevation gains of 1,500 meters. First, I'd like to say that
you've created a wonderful tool, easy to use, and that can truly open
up new hiking opportunities.
However, I'd also like to point out a few points of caution:
- Changing the battery, once it runs out, cannot be done while wearing
the product. You have to undress before starting again. Unfortunately,
this is a minor inconvenience.
- When climbing mountains, the automatic gait recognition isn't very
effective. Selecting the mountaineer option works much better, but it
leads to the side pins overheating very quickly. To keep the heat
under control (with the heating protection control function),
unfortunately, the support is missing, so you climb mountains with
additional weight and no support, resulting in considerable
difficulty.
- The exoskeleton does not provide knee support. It might be
worthwhile to provide an add-on knee brace, which can be installed if
needed.
- Mountain walking requires a greater leg lift than walking on flat
ground. This causes the leg attachment straps to move back and forth,
rubbing the skin (even shorts are worn in the mountains). It's worth
considering how to reduce this rubbing with a new design.
- Mountain walking also causes the side pins to slip backward. The
belly attachment alone doesn't keep the side pins in the correct
position. This means you have to stop every now and then and adjust
the strap to reposition the pins. When they slip backward, the support
movement is much less effective.
Thank you, and I hope I've been helpful.
Congratulations again!

Io lo sto usando da qualche giorno e mi sembra un ottimo prodotto. L'ho preso per cercare di diminuire la fatica nella deambulazione, visti i miei problemi fisici (una lesione spinale). Non ci speravo troppo e invece devo dire che un aiuto lo dà. Non miracoli, ma qualcosa è sempre meglio di niente...
Je l'ai utilisé lors de plusieurs randonnées dans le Jura d'environ 14 km et 300 à 500m de dénivelé. J'ai apprécié l'aide obtenue par le niveau 2économique suffisant pour un rythme modéré sur des chemins en pente. A la fin de ces exercices il restait 2 lumières blanches de charge à la batterie. Jeme sers pas du smartphone au cours des parcours

I got the hypershell to help me carry my camera gear distances with my bad knees. It is a great help. It does seem to reduce the feel of weight on you while walking. My only issue is that the leg bars cross over your pockets and can sometimes press against your cell phone or items in your pockets. It can also sometimes restrict fast acess to your front pockets.
I bought it for my elderly father to help him with his mobility. He likes it.
It works as advertised seamlessly. It's easier than individually charging the batteries on the Hypershell exoskeleton.
Eccellente per lavorare sulla coordinazione e sullo schema del passo.
Exciting product! Looking forward to what comes next for this.
Ein Akku hat für eine Tagestour in den Alpen mit 1400 Höhenmeter und 7km sowie eine Tour mit 12km und 2000hm runter gereicht. Bei geraden Strecken hielt er bei mir ca. 10km. Alles im Eco-Modus auf 50% Unterstützung, versteht sich. Dies hat in jedem Fall meine Erwartungen mehr als erfüllt. Der Komfort ist sehr gut, man kann ohne Probleme einen Wanderrucksack dazu tragen, der durch das Exoskelett sogar entlastet wird. Die KI-Steuerung ist beeindruckend für so ein innovatives Produkt und wird sich dank Updates auch sicher noch weiter verbessern.
I got a Hypershell to help with my arthritis disability and it has certainly improved my stamina. I love it and use my scooter far less after 4 months use.
Improvements? I think the battery is too smooth - it should have grip ridges to help removal by weak hands. Also, please try to incorporate the charger USB into the battery rather than the frame, to enable remote recharging.
The clips to secure the legs (and waist) should be metal rather than plastic, imho. Otherwise, a wonderful device. Why the massive price hike? I paid £800 only 4 months ago, now £939!!.......
Using the Exo for work at the farm. Helps at the end of a long work day, prevents stumbling when tired. Working to clear tree trimming and spraying weeds.
Just amazing - years ahead of its time!!!!
The Support Staff has been great. Am waiting for Refund as am upgrading to the Pro X.
Cumple con creces las espectativas, es una gran ayuda para los que no pueden llegar a grandes esfuerzos, ayuda a los comprtitivos y cumple al 100x100 en alivio en piernas, rodillas y grandes esfuerzos. Es como una bicicleta electrica, te ayuda a lo lejos que quierss llegar. Se debe mejorar el software, con próximas actualizaciones, pues es un deber para poder llegar hacerlo funcionar en todas las situaciones, y el interruptor estaría mejor separado, o más grande y grueso para siempre apretar sin fallar. Es muy muy buen exoesqueleto.
One of the most interesting incredible things ive ever purchased good job.
It is great to be able to charge two batteries at onice.
