A UK based company called ‘Live Luggage’ is getting ready to sell its new PA Series battery powered suitcases starting at $1,365.25. They say the suitcase has special sensors that know when you are trying to pull your suitcase and would give you a helping hand. The suitcase features two huge wheels at the bottom and has a motor in each of the two wheels. The batteries on the suitcase are rechargeable and will go for a distance of a little less than 2 miles on a single charge.
With rising air ticket prices and protruding bellies in most western nations, i guess this suitcase will probably be of no interest to most travellers. Frequent fliers, senior citizens and people with fat wallets might still be interested.
