I think it's a very good idea for the elderly and perhaps some people with mild physical impairments. But, you know, dignity.
I dont travel enough for one of these. Id love to travel more and if I did, Id probably get one. One thing I dont like their ads not showing, is the fact that going through terminal tunnels can sometimes be pretty crowded. So, if you sat on one of these in a crowded terminal tunnel, youd just be sniffing butts all day.
No. Saw people post this on fb a while ago. So dumb. Perfect for another worthless Kickstarter project to scam people out of money.
Reminds me of the wall-e movie where everyone in the future is obese and does nothing but sit all day.
Turning gets very risky given everyone will either over pack or under pack the bag, because there's probably a specific weight and volume density that will keep this from either tipping over or not moving at all. Also having to keep your knees in could get very uncomfortable for some on extended rides. I bought a new rolling briefcase and after the first flight it didn't work because the handle was smashed when they clearly dropped it, wouldn't expect much better treatment of electric gears in the same packaging.
I would never get one but I would find it pretty funny to see a huge trend for these at the airport. It just reminds me of old people wanting to re-visit their "big wheel" days.

As an American of Pakistani descent, you couldn't pay me enough to be caught riding one of these at an airport. I'd probably be shot at IAH before having my boarding pass scanned.
Kids would love it. And old men in Shriners hats. Not me. All for $1200 and any dignity you may have.
First thought is how airport workers treat luggage like ****. Second thought is how we don't need another toy to make some airport goers even more douchbaggey
I prefer one of these: http://www.theverge.com/circuitbrea...obot-r1-autonomous-suitcase-future-of-luggage <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CI2KelDN-fQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I came up with this concept a year or so after luggage with wheels started to really take off. Presented it in my high school marketing class. For reference my other ideas: Had to come up with a furniture product... Mine was the Cinco Sock. A really tiny dresser with five drawers, each drawer only big enough to hold one sock. For triple the price, you could upgrade to a Siete Sock. Had to come up with a health product... Lax Rolls. Egg Rolls stuffed with laxatives. I pitched it as a weight loss product. To this day I believe it's the only weight loss product that's deep fried.
