Travels would have been perfect had it not been for the tedious task of dragging once luggage. Not anymore. The house of Hammacher Schlemmer has just developed one of it’s kind self-propelled luggage system that is equipped to power itself on its own each time you have to roll your luggage or encounter inclines. Yes, this smart suitcase has a handle that is lined with sensors. These monitor the amount of force you are requiring to pull the luggage. And each time you struggle, it will know it and propel the suitcase to up to 3 mph.
Then again, don’t be worried about any battery charge wastage for the power assistance initiates only when the suitcase is in motion and the handle has been pulled out between angles of 15 degrees and 35 degrees. And as soon as you come to a decline, the motors disengage themselves letting you roll the luggage unit the traditional way.
Being as user-friendly as it can be, this luggage unit is designed so that around 85% of the weight is transferred to the wheels. This reduces the burden on the user and also improves maneuverability. Also, a fully charged battery lasts for 2 1/4 hours, which really is a good deal at a price tag of $1,300.
