While it might seem as another product that contributes to obesity and laziness, the Modobag Motorized Luggage ($995) is a godsend for those with walking problems, for quick flight changes, or when you need a place to sit and all seats are taken.
Fitted with lightweight Lithium batteries (80% charge in 15 minutes) and a belt-driven, high-torque 150 Watt electric motor, this rideable suitcase lets you zip through the airport (or campus, park, etc.) at a max 8 mph (12 km/h) for over 6 miles (~10 km) per charge. It has a thumb action throttle on its telescoping handlebars, custom high-performance Urethane wheels with sealed bearings throughout, a dual wheel braking system, quick release footpegs, memory foam seat, a chrush-proof laptop compartment, GPRS-GSM real-time tracking technology, and dual USB charging ports for juicing up your gadgets.
Modobag’s lightweight aluminum chassis and ballistic nylon shell can handle a rider weight of up to 260 lbs (118 kg), while the interior space offered is about 85% of a traditional luggage of the same carry-on size. Details in the video
