Unleashing the VX1 Exoquad: The Ultimate Fusion of Mechtech and Mobility

Exosapien Technologies, a pioneering company in the realm of enhanced human mobility, has recently unveiled its latest innovation, the VX1 Exoquad. This groundbreaking hybrid vehicle represents a fusion of the unrivaled versatility and all-terrain capabilities of a powered exoskeleton with the speed and agility of a wheeled vehicle.

By leveraging six years of real-world mech suit development, Exosapien Technologies has introduced a revolutionary class of electric mech-vehicle that pushes the boundaries of mobility.

When was the Exoquad revealed? When can we expect to see it?

Making its debut in February 2023 at the prestigious SOLIDWORKS 3D Experience World in Nashville, Tennessee, the VX1 Exoquad looks at least ten years ahead of its time.

Exosapien Technologies is diligently working on engineering development, with plans to unveil the first EXOQUAD prototype, the VX1, from their Mech R&D laboratory in Q2/Q3 of 2024.

What is the VX1 Exoquad? What technologies does it use?

Combining elements from a motorcycle, a quad, and a mech suit, this cutting-edge machine allows the pilot to sit in a leaned-forward position, akin to a sport bike. With independent control over the ride height of each wheel using their hands and feet, the pilot can maneuver with unparalleled agility and a sense of flight without needing wings. Leaning the vehicle facilitates seamless turns, while the ability to jump defies the limits of traditional vehicles.

At the heart of the VX1 Exoquad lies Exosapien's patented motion control technology, elevating the pilot's role to that of an active part of the vehicle's suspension system. This innovation amplifies the pilot's movements, providing real-time force and positional feedback. With the ability to intuitively alter the vehicle's ride height, the pilot can preemptively overcome obstacles and adapt to extreme terrain. This allows the Exoquad to perform way beyond the abilities of typical passive suspension systems.

What applications are there for the VX1 Exoquad?

Designed for applications where ultra-extreme mobility is essential, the VX1 Exoquad opens up new frontiers in various fields. It is an invaluable asset in search and rescue operations, enabling efficient access to hard-to-reach locations. In disaster response scenarios, it allows first responders to reach areas inaccessible to other ground vehicles.

Furthermore, the Exoquad proves instrumental in wildfire fighting, effortlessly navigating steep and rugged terrain that poses challenges to conventional machinery. It also has the potential to revolutionize extreme sports and entertainment, introducing a whole new dimension of possible terrain traversal.

About Exosapiens

Exosapien Technologies was founded on April 18, 2016, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Jonathan Tippet created it with help from members of the eatART foundation. They call themselves the "Global pioneers of large-scale, all-terrain, powered exo-skeletons for sport and beyond."

The company develops mech suits with innovative control mechanisms that look straight out of a comic book. Their flagship Prosthesis mech was inducted into the Guinness World Book of Records as the World's Largest Four-Legged Exoskeleton in 2020.

With the VX1 Exoquad, Exosapien Technologies continues to push the boundaries of human mobility, pioneering a new era of transportation. As the first prototype prepares to emerge, the future promises an extraordinary fusion of innovation and exploration that will transform how we perceive and navigate the world around us.
