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

Uno Electric Racing Unicycle Now Real – Not as Exciting

Uno CycleRemember the funky Canadian Uno concept from last year?

Part TT Racer, Part unicycle. You know, the unholy coupling of a Yamaha R6 and a Segway?

It blew me away with its almost Akira futurism.

Now it’s a really real thing and you’d think that I’d still be blown away – even more so now it’s a reality.

Well……….. not quite.

Unfortunately as soon as the Uno hits 20mph instead of looking like Kaneda’s choice of racer it transforms into an odd-looking regular two-wheeled thing (See the pic in the gallery below).

Ben Gulak, the Uno’s inventor covers himself by saying: “The original Uno was quite scary to speed up on. This is a much more user-friendly experience.”

Whoever gets on a motorbike for a safe and friendly experience?

What says you?

Honda has developed a personal mobility technology, the U3-X, that kinda looks like a futuristic unicycle.
The experimental device fits between the rider’s legs – how many [...]
