    These would be amazing for people with chronic fatigue who still fight to stay active.

    @3:36, she’s skewing the results from those studies in her favor. Studies show that people who do ebike often rely on the motor more. They may ride more, but they have less engagement/fatigue level as well. It’s different if someone uses pedal assists, but that’s completely different from e-bikes.

      Most e bikes are pedal assisted.

      My experience with ebikes, I travel much further, go faster, and can easily keep up with traffic. I still pedal most of the time, but at a lower intensity. It’s less of a workout, but really fun and I stay out riding longer. Also more inclined to go riding more often.

      @@WS_00 Most of the ones kids are riding are not pedal assisted. They are riding models that go 26+ mile off the motor.

      Probably busy on other projects or holiday vacation? She’s not the only host here, there are a few. Lexy does these pieces from time to time. Bridget did one just a day ago.

    We have lost Lexy to the cyborgs. Next, she will be telling us we all need to be upgraded.😑🤖😁 Kidding aside, this type of product has a lot of potential. Non-invasive/non-medical augmentation will see a boom over the next few years, I’m sure. Now please excuse me as I pull off an Icarus Landing. 😎

    Awesome concept. But…

    1) Would this be an appropriate option for those with neuromuscular disorders to successfully complete basic ADLs around the home?

    2) If yes to #1, then how would this work for toileting transfers standsit when the device is built in with the pants?

    3) Minor question, do these come with an option for cargo pants? For basic practical utilitarian purposes.
