Finally a motorized suitcase

At last this is the travelling tool of the 21st century, a suitcase which is motorised! Naturally it is not going to be super powerful, in fact it is probably going to be seriously slow and will get on other travellers nerves as they try to push their way through the crowds as they move towards to the check in desks.

The power assisted suitcase is the idea of a small UK company called Live Luggage, and this could be set to change the whole aspect of travelling, especially as where there is a lot of walking involved like at airports etc.

But this is not a fully motorised suitcase, as there is no button to push which then powers the suitcase away. It actually works on the principle that as the suitcase gets pulled along the motors which are fixed to each wheel offer a small amount of assistance. About time too!
