Originally, a suitcase was just for holding things. After wheels were added, people began dragging it behind them. Over the following decades, luggage has continuously evolved in materials, wheels, locks, and storage structures. But one thing has never changed: the suitcase follows the person, and the person has to walk the entire distance.
As travel scenarios continue to evolve, the distances people need to walk with their luggage have increased. From airport terminals to high-speed rail transfer corridors, from exhibition halls to large shopping malls, luggage is always by your side—and the physical exhaustion of dragging it over long distances has become a part of the journey.
The Airwheel SE3SX Smart Riding Cabin Suitcase changes exactly this. Through its electric drive system and riding control design, the suitcase is no longer just a passive follower. When needed, it becomes a rideable travel companion.
The invention of wheels transformed suitcases from carry-on items into towable luggage, reducing the burden of carrying. But the movement process still requires human effort to pull.
The SE3SX further introduces electric drive technology, adding riding capability to the suitcase and offering a new option for traditional movement.
It is equipped with a brushless motorized front wheel at the base. With one touch, the front wheel extends, and once the smart riding handle is pulled up, users can control the suitcase's movement via the smart handle, reaching a riding speed of up to 9.9 km/h. Luggage that previously required continuous manual dragging can now rely on electric drive for part of the journey, significantly reducing the physical toll of the "last mile."
Whether in airport terminals, high-speed rail transfer corridors, exhibition halls, or large shopping malls, the riding function provides a new option for moving luggage. For those who frequently walk with luggage, this means no longer having to drag the suitcase the entire way—making the travel experience more relaxed and effortless.
For a smart riding suitcase, being able to ride is not enough. The ability to switch conveniently between riding and towing is an important factor affecting the actual user experience.
The SE3SX features an electric telescopic front wheel design. When you want to ride, press the extension button, and the motorized front wheel automatically extends forward. Then, pull out the smart riding handle to enter riding mode.
After riding, press the retraction button, wait for the motorized front wheel to automatically retract, and push the smart riding handle back into place to restore towing mode. If you encounter a place where riding is not suitable, you can also directly pull out the double-pole towing handle and choose the appropriate height gear according to your height and habits, towing it as easily as a traditional suitcase.
From electric riding to conventional towing, it accommodates movement needs in different scenarios, allowing smart functions to truly integrate into daily travel.
Whether the controls are intuitive and whether the suitcase body has sufficient load-bearing capacity also affect the actual experience of a smart riding suitcase.
For control design, the SE3SX follows a simple and intuitive approach, using a patented riding handle. The handle features only two grips—left and right. The right grip handles acceleration and forward movement, while the left grip handles braking, with automatic reverse support. Acceleration and braking are separated on both sides with clear functional division and logical operation, helping to lower the learning curve and making it easier for users to master riding.
In riding mode, the suitcase not only needs to carry internal luggage but also bear the load generated by the rider. This places higher demands on the suitcase structure. Therefore, the SE3SX uses an ABS+PC composite shell, reinforced with a patented one-piece aviation-grade aluminum frame for sturdy support. The total load capacity reaches 95 kg, meeting daily storage needs while balancing structural load-bearing capacity in riding mode.
The SE3SX also supports management via a dedicated smart app, providing users with more flexible riding settings and device management.
After connecting to the app, users can view real-time data such as battery level, current speed, and accumulated mileage, intuitively grasping the riding status and making adjustments according to actual needs.
For riding settings, speed supports stepless adjustment within the 0.1–9.9 km/h range, allowing users to flexibly control riding speed based on different scenarios and personal habits. Front wheel extension and retraction can also be remotely controlled through the app, making device operation more convenient.
Beyond basic riding settings, the suitcase's ambient lighting can also be personalized through the app, offering 8 lighting colors and 9 dynamic effects, adding more personalized expression to the smart riding suitcase.
For device status management, the app will proactively send alerts when the battery is low or the Bluetooth connection is disconnected, helping users stay informed about the device status. Additionally, features like cruise control, smart remote control, and programmable remote control provide more operational options for daily use, further expanding the smart riding experience.
The smart experience doesn't stop at riding controls; it also extends to luggage management.
The SE3SX supports Apple Find My. After device pairing, users can check the last recorded location of their luggage through the Find My app on their Apple devices. When the suitcase is within a connectable range, sound prompts can assist in locating it, providing more convenience for luggage management.
For a suitcase truly meant for travel, riding and smart features are important, but basic needs like storage, security checks, and device charging cannot be ignored.
The SE3SX features a 20-inch body design, measuring 530 × 360 × 236 mm, with a capacity of approximately 20 L, balancing storage needs for short-to-medium trips with the convenience of carry-on portability. Whether it can actually be taken onboard remains subject to the airline's baggage size, weight, and related regulations.
For power design, it is equipped with a 73.26Wh removable modular battery that has passed 3C certification, making it easy for users to remove the battery according to aviation and railway transport requirements and carry it as required.
The suitcase lock uses a TSA combination lock, making it convenient for customs personnel to inspect with a dedicated key and reducing the risk of damage caused by regular locks that cannot be opened normally, providing convenience for cross-border travel.
Additionally, a USB port on the exterior allows users to connect a data cable and charge smartphones, tablets, and other portable devices. Whether checking itineraries on the go, handling tasks with mobile devices, or watching content during breaks, it provides convenient battery life for devices during the journey.
The road is the same, the distance hasn't changed—what has changed is the way you complete it.
From dragging to riding, the Airwheel SE3SX Smart Riding Suitcase changes not only how luggage moves but also the division of labor between people and their belongings. By letting the electric drive handle part of the journey and reducing the physical exertion of long-distance movement, every departure and arrival becomes more relaxed and effortless.
