Hypershell Co., Ltd.
Shanghai-based Chinese exoskeleton startup founded 2021, making consumer-grade powered exoskeletons for outdoor hiking and daily use, sold in 70+ countries.
Hypershell Co., Ltd. is a Shanghai-based consumer exoskeleton company founded in 2021 by Kelvin Sun, the engineer who previously founded LattePanda, a maker of compact single-board computers. The company is dedicated to bringing powered exoskeleton technology out of industrial and medical niches and into the everyday consumer market, with a particular focus on outdoor activities such as hiking, trekking, and mountaineering.
Hypershell's flagship product line is the Hypershell X series, which includes the X Ultra and X Max models. The Hypershell X series is described as the world's first outdoor consumer exoskeleton and has achieved the top sales rank on Amazon in both the United States and Europe in its product category. The exoskeletons are hip- and leg-mounted wearable robotic devices that augment the wearer's lower-body strength, reducing physical exertion during walking and load-bearing activities.
Key specifications and features of the Hypershell X series include a claimed 30% reduction in physical exertion, approximately 40% increase in effective leg strength, 97.5% gait synchronization accuracy across varied terrains, and a response latency of 0.31 seconds. The X Ultra model features Hypershell's M-One Ultra motor system, which achieves up to 90% energy conversion efficiency with a 50% reduction in thermal loss compared to its predecessor. Battery life extends to approximately 42,000 steps per charge, and the system supports dual batteries for a combined walking range of up to 60 km—significantly extended from an earlier generation's 17.5 km range.
The company's AI motion control system, branded HyperIntuition, marks a shift from rule-based motion modeling to end-to-end AI motion control, integrating perception, recognition, prediction, and planning into a single continuous system. This enables the exoskeleton to adapt to uneven terrain and dynamic outdoor conditions in real time.
Hypershell has sold its exoskeletons in more than 70 countries and regions globally. The company raised approximately USD 50 million in a Series B+ funding round led by Ant Group and Meituan, reaching a reported valuation of USD 120 million. Products are available through the company's global e-commerce platform and through Amazon.
The company's team is distributed across Shanghai, Beijing, and Shenzhen, with approximately 100 staff.
