I imagine it's part of it, but even when you look at unpowered devices there seems to have been shockingly little innovation when you compare what was available in the 1800s and today. It's still a few flatbars with leather/velcro fasteners, the main improvement has been with materials like carbon fiber to lower the weight but that's about it. There's some interesting patents like air cushions to improve fit and some weight redistribution mechanisms but nothing available for the consumer.

- R0b0t1 5y agoIt's not bad. Then you just have the issue of the cost of the batteries. It's possible to have the device be corded and stay within a room or set of rooms.
- KONAir 5y agoI meant more like wheel(?) shop to shop, do the shopping on foot so it charges while wheeling. Is wheeling the verb for it anyway?
