Hiking outside can be a lot of fun, but it is also a lot of work.
When an American TikToker was visiting China, he saw an incredible product that is designed to make running, walking, and hiking easier than ever.
The video began with him saying, “I’m in China, and they have robotic legs to help you hike. China is so advanced, and they said we can try it for free.”
Impressive, and it sounds like a lot of fun.

Once the salesperson straps the person into the robotic assist legs, he says, “Ok, I’m feeling a little bit of joltiness. He’s connecting with the phone. Guys, China is the most technologically advanced country I’ve seen in my life.”
They certainly have some amazing stuff.
I want to see him walking with it.

The salesperson then says, “Ok, start to walk. Walking normally, okay?”
The TikToker then says, “Ok, I’m walking normally. WOAH. Oh my gosh, it’s moving for me. It’s easy walking!”
He really seems to love it!
The salesperson explains that it uses onboard AI to make it so the legs help the user.

Toward the end of the video, they turn the robot up to max power. The guy starts walking, and then running. He said, “This is literally the future. I’m running with a robot, this is insane. Wow. This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.”
That really seems amazing.
It would be fun for hiking, but I bet people with disabilities could really benefit from it as well.
It is amazing that the legs only cost around $1000.
Take a look at the full video below to see them in action.
