Where to Rent or Try an Exoskeleton in the US (2026)
Consumer exoskeletons cost $600 to $5,000. Here are the realistic ways to try one before you buy, updated October 2026.
1. Rental by mail
Exo Rental (Orlando, FL) rents the original Hypershell X Go: $90 for 3 days, $153 for a week, shipped anywhere in the continental US with a prepaid return label and a $350 refundable deposit. Book here.
2. Local rental and demo shops
A few outdoor and bike shops rent or demo exoskeletons in person, often for hiking. Search "Hypershell rental" plus your city. Availability varies.
3. Buying and returning
Read the manufacturer's return policy carefully: return shipping costs and condition rules for used items can apply.
4. Demo events
Great for a first impression, but a few minutes in a parking lot is very different from a full day of real use.
