The Power Suitcase

There is always a lot of travel going on around Sphere Trending, between countless tradeshows, conferences and meetings our suitcases seem to grow heavier with every plane change. So, when we saw the LiveLuggage Power Assisted Suitcase, we thought we should share.
British luxury bag-maker LiveLuggage has given the suitcase a makeover with its unique power-assisted (PA) suitcase – a long overdue update on the suitcase that coaxes it into doing the work for you. The suitcase draws it power from an internal rechargeable battery similar to that of a remote controlled car. As you might expect, the suitcase will need to plug into the wall for a bit with its specialized adapter to juice up before a big trip. But once on the go, its creators claim it should be good for about two hours of usage, or a full 1 ¾ miles. And if that terrain includes downhills, the suitcase will not only shut down its motors to conserve energy, it will recharge it with the same type of regenerative braking system found in hybrid cars.
The one drawback? Just one suitcase will set you back $1,365.25. However, for a regular traveler, it just might be worth it's weight in gold!
