Carry Less Of A Load With Live Luggage

live-luggage-lead.jpg
Sure, 21st century technology hasn’t exactly lived up to expectations, with all the lack of flying cars, robots, and Jetsons-style space living, but this motorized Live Luggage PA Series suitcase might just jump-start innovative thinking.

The revolutionary power assisted baggage has electric motors in each of the wheels and sensors that react to your pulling with its own automatic acceleration. Frail jet setters will also enjoy the “anti-gravity” handle that places 85% of the weight onto its back wheels (which also act as generators), making it seem like you're schlepping around less of a load. The price tag of $1,365.25 is steep, and some would argue caring that much about luggage calls for the forfeiture of your balls, but it just might give you that ice-breaker that lands you a technophile in coach. Check for more shots after the jump.

    I like how the site doesn’t give you the weight of the bag anywhere. Anyone heard about airline fees. not only do you pay 1400 for this contraption, but you probably have to pay $50 round-trip b/c the thing is most likely overweight before you put anything in it.

    no thanks.

    According to the website, the weight is 10.9kg, or about 24 pounds. Pretty much half of the allowed weight for airlines without an overweight charge.
