MO/GO

The MO/GO stands for the “Mountain Goat” and is made by the California company Skip. It is a consumer (recreational), knee, powered exoskeleton to help with hiking, especially when there is a significant change in elevation.

Description

While most exoskeleton companies tend to go at it alone, Skip has made headlines by partnering with renowned outerwear producer Arc’teryx. Effectively dividing and conquering: Skip itself, a spin-off of Google X, focuses on the hardware and controls, and Arc’teryx brings its clothing expertise.

Who is the MO/GO For:

This exoskeleton is ideal for people who have been very active in the past but cannot traverse the outdoors like they used to due to physical limitations. The exoskeleton can be attached when needed and detached and stored away when it isn’t.

Design Goals:

  • As small as possible, it can self-regulate the assistance it needs to provide and look good.
  • Boost up to 40% on an uphill incline and make you feel lighter.
  • Support the knees going downhill.

Additional Information:

  • About 3-hour battery life or roughly 6 miles ( 9.6 km); note that the battery can be swapped, and it recharges while going downhill
  • Ships internationally
  • The 2024 model requires both legs to be active, but a single leg version is in the works
