Revolutionary Smart Suitcase: The SE3 by Airwheel
The newest generation of “smart” suitcases can do a lot: They can charge your phone, tell you how much they weigh, and even track themselves to the baggage carousel. However, one standout feature is its ability to carry you.
Transform Your Travel Experience
The SE3 by Airwheel is a carry-on bag that morphs into a vehicle, fulfilling the modern traveler’s needs at airports.
Easy Transformation
According to the manufacturer, it takes only one second to transform from suitcase to scooter. Travelers simply need to extend the handlebars and the front wheel. Subsequently, sit down, rev the throttle on the handlebar, and scoot away.
Internal Features for Smooth Travel
Inside this innovative suitcase, you will find a 250-watt electric motor paired with a removable battery. Consequently, taking this droid-like suitcase through security is of “no concern,” according to the company. All internal components comply with air regulations set forth by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
Weight Considerations
It is important to be aware of any weight restrictions. With the battery included, the suitcase weighs approximately 30 pounds.
Smart Functionality
The suitcase also integrates seamlessly with a smartphone app, allowing users to set a maximum speed for their racing bag. Notably, it can reach speeds of up to 6.21 miles per hour, depending on the weight of the passenger.
Charging Convenience
To compete with the array of other smart suitcases available, the SE3 includes a USB port for charging phones and devices on the go. It requires about three hours to fully charge the battery, which can power your iPhone up to 10 times.
Design and Pricing
The SE3 is available in classic black or silver and is priced starting at $1,099.
A Brief History of Rideable Luggage
Interestingly, the SE3 is not the world’s first rideable suitcase. In 2016, Modobag launched an Indiegogo campaign to create the “world’s first motorized, rideable luggage.” Their innovative “carry-on that carries you” is now available for $1,495.
