Forest Service approved for wilderness areas, or anywhere E-bikes are allowed?

And that's how you become a motorized vehicle.

Pretty interesting. This could be a game changer for someone like my wife with Parkinson’s disease. Definitely looking into it for her.

I am now backer 1,114 on kickstarter.

This could really be a game changer for my wife. She has full mobility but gets tired out fast and then starts to freeze up.

This wouldn’t be something she would wear every day, but might be a difference maker for travel days walking at airports and things like that.

Looks like they're 2/3 of the way there.

I’d love this if it was marketed for use like @npaden is intending, unfortunately it does not seem to be the case.

We did end up getting one of these and it really is looking like it is going to a game changer for my wife. She was down to where she couldn’t even walk 1/2 mile in 30 minutes and we’ve had the exoskeleton for a little over a month now and this afternoon she walked 2 miles in 36 minutes with the exoskeleton. They don’t advertise it as something to help with Parkinson’s disease but it sure seems to be working for my wife.

The company I worked for down in Texas was partnered with Hilti on a similar concept, but it was an assist to your arms - think hanging drywall in the ceiling. I tried it out, pretty cool, and the work study had huge decreases in injury from repetitive use.

Parkinson’s cut short my time with my grandfather, so I’m very happy this is helping with your wife’s mobility.

I have been looking at these. This is an old post but perhaps in the last year more have tried it. My wife is in the same boat with immobility. I would love for her to get active again if this truly helps. I may be tempted myself tbh lol. Anyone else try this?

My wife is still using hers. It's not a 100% game changer but it for sure has allowed her to do things that she otherwise would not have ever been able to. We used it on our trip to New Zealand and it made a big difference. She uses it getting through airports and that is also a big help.
