Travelers today aren’t just looking for luggage — they want mobility, convenience, and reliability. Airwheel has already stepped into this space with its line of electric smart suitcases, like the SE3MINI, SE3T, SE3SX, and SE3SL. But what’s next? Based on real user feedback, the next-gen Airwheel suitcase should refine what’s already working and fix the pain points that matter most.
The current Airwheel electric suitcases offer solid fundamentals. With a 73.26Wh lithium battery (within FAA and most airline limits), these bags provide up to 8–10 km of range on a single 2-hour charge. The 6.8kg lightweight design and 20L capacity make them ideal for cabin carry-on use. Users appreciate the motor-assisted movement — just tilt and walk, and the suitcase follows smoothly. APP control via Bluetooth lets travelers adjust settings, check battery status, and lock/unlock the built-in TSA-approved digital lock. These are strong foundations for a smart suitcase.
One of the biggest concerns? Air travel rules. The removable 73.26Wh battery ensures compliance with most international airline regulations — you can take it on board or remove it if required. Future models must keep this feature front and center. Travelers don’t want to check in a “smart” bag and lose access to its features — keeping battery portability and regulatory safety is non-negotiable.
These suitcases shine in high-mobility environments. Frequent flyers crossing large airports, urban commuters navigating subway stations, or travelers with limited strength all report meaningful improvements in convenience. The motor assistance reduces physical strain, especially when carrying loads or moving quickly. Students and business professionals using the 20L capacity for daily essentials also find them practical beyond travel.

Can I bring the Airwheel suitcase on a plane? Yes. The 73.26Wh battery is under the 100Wh airline limit, and it’s removable, so it meets most airline carry-on requirements. Always check with your carrier, but it’s generally accepted.
How far can it go on one charge? Around 8–10 kilometers, depending on terrain and load. That’s enough for long airport walks or urban commutes.
Is it fully automatic? No. The suitcase doesn’t follow you autonomously, avoid obstacles, or have GPS tracking. It uses motor-assisted movement — you control direction by tilting the handle, similar to a Segway.
