Trolley Suitcase Transforms into Scooter – Samsonite Trolley Scooter

by Jay Garrett on December 6, 2009

Scooter CaseYou may remember that I’ve written in the past about cases that can detect Wi-Fi, powered suitcases, baggage that’s secured by a scanning Biolock, circular cases for all-terrain dragging and even luggage that can convert into a two-seater settee.

Now there’s one that you can whizz-away on!

The Trolley Scooter from Samsonite and Micro Mobility is the perfect tool for by-passing the sweaty shuttle-buses or expensive taxis and go self-propelled to your hotel.

Even better if you’re a regular at various Expos and Trade Fairs as you can carry all you need and scoot up and down the isles to your hearts content.

No price is given but I’d reckon £80 — £120 or thereabouts.

It would be an awful and unusual feeling to look out of your aeroplane’s window to see the baggage handlers taking it in turns to ride your luggage tho :o

Suited Case – Luggage Set That Converts into a Sofa. Laugh at Those Travel Delays!

by Jay Garrett on November 4, 2009

sofa-luggageIf you’ve ever been horribly delayed at the airport and then tried to find somewhere comfy to sit, chill or sleep – or, if you’re the nomadic type that finds themselves kicked out of the house on a regular basis – this may be of distinct interest to you.

This 4 piece luggage set by Dutch designer Erik De Nijs converts from your regular looking check-in clothes carriers into a comfortable little sofa.

I’m actually a fan of the different patterns and colours as it will make you look real clever when you sling seemingly unrelated items of luggage together and sit down to eat a ridiculously overpriced sandwich.

OBag – Perfect Luggage For a Round Trip

October 1, 2008 Click to read more →

Here’s taking wheeled luggage to the next inevitable stage.
Let’s face it, those little wheels, even the ones on my Dakine convertible, can only cope with so much – try most wheelies on gravel, sand or travelling across a muddy festival field and watch their limits be quickly reached.
I suppose it is only logical to create [...]
