Is this exoskeleton the equivalent of an e-bike for runners, scramblers and ramblers?

Hypershell Omega exoskeleton

Imagine, while you’re out on a trail run or taking on a tough hiking route, being able to strap on a high-tech hip-based harness that can deliver you the power of a horse to charge up steep accents and across even the trickiest terrain.
