Mo/Go is the name of the robot trousers that are a little reminiscent of Wallace & Gromit and "The Wrong Trousers". Mo-Go is an abbreviation for Mountain Goat and is intended to turn people into those who find walking less easy.

The clothing manufacturer developed the e-trousers with Skip, a spin-off from Google. Mo-Go is designed to take over a maximum of 40 percent of the effort required to walk up and down and make the wearer feel up to 14 kilograms lighter - with a tare weight of 3.2 kilograms. The battery should last for three and a half hours.

The exoskeleton for the upper and lower leg is attached to the outside of the trousers - after all, the world should be able to see what the industry has come up with. Under the pants are the cuffs with which the movement frame is attached to the leg.

The video shows people walking up and down, standing up and climbing stairs with the Mo-Go. The range of motion should therefore also be sufficient for pedal movements. However, a different movement pattern would probably have to be programmed for this. No information on this is available. An inquiry has been made to Arcteryx.

The robot pants - which are also referred to in the media as an e-bike for hikers - could be particularly interesting for bike mountaineers. Instead of humping an e-MTB up the mountain, they would only have their bio-bike on their shoulders, but would have support when pedaling uphill as well as on the carrying passages.

The first Mo/Go should be delivered at the end of 2025, Arcteryx promises. The item is expected to cost around 5000 euros. In terms of price, this is already in the range of a mid-range e-bike.
