Ekso EVO
EVO is covered under a limited warranty for 1 year. The details of this warranty can be found in the Operator Manual.
The entire set of soft goods can be changed in less than 5 minutes.
The soft goods are removable so that they can be washed or swapped to fit a different operator.
EVO requires minimal maintenance. Keeping your EVO clean is the most important aspect of maintenance. The recommended maintenance/cleaning schedule and instructions are included in the Operator Manual.
Yes, EVO is designed so an operator can easily put it on by themselves, similar to putting on a jacket.
Most people can put their EVO on in 15 – 30 seconds.
While wearing EVO, you should only lift the same amount of weight as you would without the device on.
EVO provides 5 – 15 lb. (2.2 – 6.8 kg) of list assistance per arm to give your natural strength a boost throughout your work day. This is NOT intended to give you super strength but instead give you super endurance and reduce fatigue so that you have more energy and less soreness at the end of your shift. Whatever payload you normally lift (a 4 lb. torque wrench, a 10 lb. component, or even just the weight of your arm) will feel lighter with the boost you get from your EVO.
