AI exoskeleton pushes your steps on the trail

A first look at Hypershell's X Ultra S, a $2,000 motorized exoskeleton for hikers that uses dual hip motors (up to 1,000W) and the HyperIntuition AI to adjust assistance in real time, helping on climbs and soft terrain while requiring manual mode changes for descents and uneven ground; controlled via a mobile app with Boost mode, it delivers about 18 miles of typical-range battery life, carries safety risks if not disengaged, and signals AI moving from analysis to physical output—still early and not perfectly seamless.

Wearable Exoskeleton Falls Short as an E-Bike Replacement on Real Rides

A CNET tester evaluated whether the Hypershell X Ultra S exoskeleton worn on a regular bike could match the boost of an e-bike. Over three rides—unassisted, in about 50% Hyper mode, and on an e-bike for comparison—the author found little difference in speed or heart rate, with comfort issues and the exoskeleton’s shifting battery hindering performance. The device adds weight and isn’t consistently effective, so for most riders an e-bike remains the easier upgrade. The exoskeleton could help a returning cyclist with a suitable bike, but it isn’t a true replacement for an e-bike, and the product is priced around $1,999. Results may vary with training and setup.

Hypershell Elevates Trail Power With Slimmer, Smarter Exoskeletons

Hypershell debuts three slimmer S-series exoskeletons—X Pro S, Max S, and Ultra S—boosting athletic performance with AI motion-detection that reduces response delay; they deliver up to 1,000W, 22N of torque, and up to 15 mph, with Ultra S offering an 18‑mile range and swappable batteries. The company emphasizes they are not medical devices, and users should still plan for extra batteries on long trips.
