Chinese Inventor Builds a Scooter That Doubles As a Suitcase

A Chinese inventor has developed a rechargeable scooter with a suitcase which helps in transporting his belongings and himself.
Equipped with a GPS navigator, a burglar alarm and a horn, this seven-kilogramme vehicle can carry two adults and travel with a speed of 20 kilometres per hour for a distance of 50 to 60 kilometres on a full charge.

He Liangcai, who recently obtained a patent for this invention, said he spent over 10 years to create the “urban scooter”. He suggests such a device can also be used for in-city travel. The vehicle consists of a stripped-down electric scooter embedded into the suitcase.

The rider strides the rectangular luggage and grabs handlebars that control the throttle, breaks and lights.

Liangcai, originally a farmer, said he got the idea when he forgot his luggage on his way to accept an award for an innovative car safety system in the US.

I can see it coming already, scads of tourists in MBK creating havoc riding around on their mobile luggage as opposed to dragging it around and clogging the aisles as they do today.
