The e-bike craze is reaching a fever pitch. People of all ages use them to get outside and stay active, no matter their skill or fitness level. <\/strong>Now, we’re seeing the rise of e-hike<\/em> equipment. It was only a matter of time.<\/p>\n Case in point: Arc’teryx and wearable robotics startup Skip have teamed up to design and bring to market what the brands hail as the world’s first pair of fully functioning electronic hiking pants. MO\/GO \u2014 short for “Mountain Goat” \u2014 uses an exoskeleton, attaching to the wearer’s legs via a special pair of Arc\u2019teryx Gamma pants.<\/p>\n When a person slips into a pair of the MO\/GO pants and takes off on the trail, the pants add electronic assist to power them forward more like a, well, mountain goat. The brands designed this device specifically for anyone who loves hiking but suffers from mobility challenges due to aging, fatigue, or injury.<\/p>\n
