Addmotor’s Cybergen exoskeletons are done with the preorder wait. Cadens and Carego both show in stock on Addmotor’s store today, and orders process and ship within two to three business days, free to most metro areas in the contiguous 48 states. Five days ago this pair was a preorder with a mid-November shipping estimate. The estimate held.
A magnesium frame that weighs 4.4 pounds carries a motor at each hip: 1,000 watts of peak power and 40 Nm of peak torque between them, and Addmotor rates the assistance at up to 45 percent.

Two models, two paces
Cadens is the fast one. Assistance holds to 13.7 mph in Smart Adaptive mode, and the joints articulate through 184 degrees. Fitness Mode flips the motors into resistance, so the hardware that carries you up a climb can load your legs on purpose instead. This is the athlete of the pair, built for trails, hill work, and training days.
The frame behind that pace is rated IP54 against dust and splashing water and works from -20°C to 60°C, so a wet trail doesn’t end the day early.
Addmotor calls its control system an AI Motion Engine, and the claim is about timing. Sensors tracking force, posture, and displacement sample joint angles, body tilt, and gait timing, and the system works out which phase of a stride you’re in and how much torque to add. Help that lands a half-step late fights your legs. Help that lands on time disappears into the step.
Cadens adds dynamic joint dampening on descents, which Addmotor advertises as cushioning for steep downhill stretches. The controls never depend on a phone: physical buttons on the device run power, mode, and assist level, and the app is for settings, activity data, and over-the-air updates.
Carego slows down on purpose
Carego costs $200 more and tops out at 5.3 mph, and the slower pace is the point. Its four modes are built around walking: Exercise, Relaxation, and separate left-leg and right-leg assist. Addmotor’s micro-gait analysis reads short steps and a slowing stride and adjusts each leg by itself, and shoulder straps spread the load across your back. Quick-release buckles get it on and off, and Addmotor says most users have the basics in three to five minutes.

Both models share one fit window: heights from 5’1″ to 6’6″, 110 to 250 pounds, waists from 26.8 to 53.1 inches, thighs from 17.3 to 29.5 inches. Addmotor sets the suitable BMI range at 16 to 34.
Two 3,000 mAh battery modules ride in the kit. The frame runs on one at a time, so the second swaps in when the first runs down, and Addmotor rates the setup for up to 15 miles of powered assistance. The box holds both modules, a storage case, a USB-C cable, and the manual.
At the end of the day the frame folds flat. Carego’s folded size is 20 by 8.3 by 14.8 inches, and Cadens collapses to roughly the size of a 10-inch laptop, so either rides in a backpack instead of leaning in a corner.
The established rival sells on Amazon
One established name in this category sells the other way. Hypershell’s X Pro S sits on Amazon at $999 in the same hip-motor layout, and its listing claims up to 30 percent less effort. Its bigger sibling, the X Ultra S, claims the same 1,000 watts as Cadens and runs $1,999. Cadens answers with the higher pace ceiling and the resistance mode, at $100 more, through Addmotor’s own store.

A third model is still on the board. Carego Pro sits on Addmotor’s AI Exoskeleton page as not yet released at $1,499, with a handheld remote the other two don’t offer. Our launch coverage walked through the announcement on November 4; the lineup hasn’t changed since. The shipping status has.
Read the return window before you order
Orders ship free to most metro areas of the contiguous 48 states, with extra fees for remote regions, Alaska and Hawaii included. The return window runs 14 calendar days from receipt, exchanges included, and the warranty covers one year. Addmotor states on its own pages that Cybergen is a consumer sports device, not a medical device, and isn’t built for rehabilitation or mobility treatment. Addmotor’s US showroom sits in El Monte, California.

Between the two, the choice is still the use, and now it’s a choice you can act on this week. Cadens at $1,099 is the pick for trails and training: the pace, the articulation, and the resistance mode are what the money buys. Carego at $1,299 is the pick for daily miles, with per-leg help the faster model doesn’t carry.
If you’d rather buy on Amazon, Hypershell’s X Pro S is the established name there at $999. It gives up the resistance mode and the higher pace ceiling to reach that price. Addmotor’s pair ships from Addmotor, in two to three business days, at the prices its own pages print today.
