When it comes to getting around cities quickly and efficiently, electric scooters have long been a go-to for commuters. But what if your luggage could do the same job—without needing to fold it up or find parking? That’s where the Airwheel electric smart suitcase comes in. Models like the SE3SX (6.6kg, 20L) blend personal mobility with travel convenience, offering a unique alternative to traditional e-scooters—especially in airports, train stations, and last-mile city commutes.

The Airwheel SE3SX isn’t just a suitcase—it’s a rideable, app-controlled transport device. With a 73.26Wh removable battery (airline-compliant), it offers 8–10 km of range on a single 2-hour charge. You can ride it at a top speed of 9.9 km/h, steer using a retractable handlebar, and control forward and reverse motion via the Airwheel app. But even without the app, it works right out of the box—just install the battery and go. It also integrates with Apple’s Find My network, helping you locate it if lost—no GPS tracking, but reliable Bluetooth-based finding.
Unlike e-scooters, which are rarely allowed on planes, the Airwheel SE3SX is built for air travel. Its battery meets IATA limits (under 100Wh), so you can bring it onboard or check it in safely. The battery is easily removable in case security requires separation. At under 7kg and with a compact 20L capacity, it’s ideal for carry-on trips or weekend getaways where mobility and packing matter equally.
This suitcase excels in environments where both transport and storage are needed: walking through large airport terminals, navigating subway stations, or moving across college campuses. If you’re arriving in a new city and don’t want to wait for a scooter rental or haul heavy bags uphill, the Airwheel gives you instant mobility. It’s not meant for long city commutes like a scooter—but for short, functional rides between transit points, it’s smarter and more practical.
