Travelers Start Your Luggage.....

Today, Live Luggage will be unveiling the first power assisted suitcase to the world. This new suitcase has been in design and development for several years. This new suitcase is power assisted meaning that the suitcase will not move on its own, but will help aid the user in the movement of their suitcase. This means there there will no longer be that struggle to lift or move your luggage if it is too heavy. 

Some of the features of this new suitcase are:

  • Has a rechargeable battery with an average life of 2 hours
  • The weight of the suitcase is 24 pounds (10.9 Kg), which leaves room for about 26 pounds of clothes (for an allotted weight of 50 pounds)
  • Equipped with an anti-gravity handle, which puts 85% of the weight of the suitcase over the wheels
  • Has a TSA approved combination lock
  • Is equipped with Live Luggage's unique ID, which can help locate the suitcase in the event of loss
  • A three-point adjustable handle
According to the press release, "the tilt switch/sensors only power the wheels at certain angles- between the slopes of 15% and 35%." This means, that for a slope that is less than 15%, there will be no power to the wheels. This also means that if the suitcase is accidentally dropped, power to the wheels will stop preventing the suitcase from further falling down the incline.
