VIGX π, π Plus or Ant-H1 Pro: which exoskeleton to choose?

The answer in detail

VIGX offers three powered hip exoskeletons with different positioning. The π is presented as the entry model for sport and outdoor outings, with a self-learning AI algorithm. The π Plus is aimed at hiking and sport with more range. The Ant-H1 Pro is designed to ease everyday walking.

All three come in S, M and L sizes depending on body shape. Prices are given in US dollars, as the official shop displays that currency, and orders ship from Shenzhen. What really separates the three models is battery handling: the π remains the simplest, the π Plus carries two, and the Ant-H1 Pro lets you swap one without stopping to power off or using tools.

  5. Plan for customs costs and a stated 12 to 18 working days delivery to the European Union.

Limits and precautions

  • VIGX does not state CE marking on our pages: ask for it if it matters for your use.
  • Orders ship from China: plan for delays, import VAT and possible customs costs.
  • Assistance and range figures are the manufacturer's.
  • Our pages give no warranty duration for these three models.

To compare with other brands, read our buying guide and our question on taxes on a purchase outside the European Union.

Key takeaways

The π is VIGX's lightest and cheapest model, the π Plus adds a hot-swappable double battery for long outings, and the Ant-H1 Pro is oriented to daily walking with a battery swappable in 3 seconds. Check warranty, CE marking and import costs before buying, since these are not specified on our pages. If you hesitate between the π Plus and the Ant-H1 Pro, ask the manufacturer which suits your body shape and main use.
