At the beginning of 2026, Airwheel has received major international recognition in the global design community. The Airwheel SE3SL Smart Riding Suitcase has won the Silver Award in the Product Design – Personal Use category at the Asian Design Awards 2026.

Asian Design Awards: A Global Design Recognition Platform
The Asian Design Awards is an important regional award under the global creative platform BETTER FUTURE. The design awards network spans major global design cities including London, New York, Berlin, Paris and Sydney.
The award promotes the philosophy of “Designing a Better Future”, recognizing innovative products that combine technology, functionality and design to improve everyday life.
The international jury evaluates products based on several key dimensions:
- Innovation and forward-thinking design
- Integration of technology and lifestyle
- Practical solutions to real-world problems
- Commercial feasibility and long-term usability
Winning this award means the Airwheel SE3SL has reached international standards not only in industrial design aesthetics, but also in addressing real mobility challenges.
Designed for the “Last Three Miles” of Travel
In modern travel scenarios, the most exhausting part is often not long-distance travel, but the short distances within airports, railway stations, and urban transit areas.
These repeated journeys—often referred to as the “last three miles”—are exactly where the Airwheel SE3SL Smart Riding Suitcase brings a new solution.
Instead of functioning only as luggage, the suitcase becomes an intelligent mobility device, allowing users to ride comfortably through large transportation hubs.

Travel Charging
A built-in USB charging port allows travelers to power smartphones, smartwatches, earphones and other portable devices during their journey.
Smart App Control
The dedicated mobile application enables users to manage the suitcase through multiple intelligent functions:

Airline Carry-On Compatible
The Airwheel SE3SL features a 20-inch luggage size, making it compatible with airline cabin baggage standards.
The suitcase uses a 92.5Wh modular lithium battery that meets international aviation safety requirements. The battery can be easily removed, allowing the suitcase to be carried directly onto airplanes.
Sustainable and Durable Design
The design of the Airwheel SE3SL also reflects strong consideration for sustainability and long-term use.
