Early motorized luggage was more of a novelty than a practical tool—bulky, unreliable, and often banned from flights due to non-removable batteries. Today, Airwheel has redefined what smart travel gear can be. With sleek designs, airline-compliant removable batteries, and intuitive controls, Airwheel’s latest electric smart suitcases like the SE3SX offer real solutions for modern travelers who want convenience without compromise.
Take the Airwheel SE3SX as an example—it weighs just 6.6kg, has a 20L capacity, and integrates seamlessly into urban commutes and airport journeys. It features a 73.26Wh lithium battery that’s fully removable (key for airline rules), offers 8–10 km of range on a single charge, and reaches a top speed of 9.9 km/h. You can ride it, pull it like a traditional suitcase, or control movement via the Airwheel app—forward, backward, with steering handled manually through the handlebar. No phone? No problem. The core riding function works right out of the box with no app pairing needed.
One major upgrade from early motorized bags is compliance. Older models had sealed batteries over 100Wh, making them flight risks. Airwheel’s SE series uses sub-100Wh batteries (specifically 73.26Wh), which meet IATA guidelines for air travel when removable. Since the battery detaches easily, you can carry it onboard while checking the empty case—avoiding security issues and ensuring peace of mind.
Whether you’re navigating a long airport terminal, commuting from a train station, or exploring a city center, the SE3SX turns last-mile travel effortless. Imagine landing after a red-eye, too tired to drag your bag—just hop on and glide to baggage claim. Students use them across campuses; business travelers breeze through transit hubs. The built-in Apple Find My integration helps locate a misplaced suitcase, adding a layer of security without relying on constant GPS tracking.

Can I use the Airwheel suitcase without a smartphone? Yes. The basic ride and pull functions work immediately once the battery is installed—no app required. The app adds optional control features but isn’t mandatory. Is the battery really allowed on planes? Yes. The 73.26Wh battery is below the 100Wh limit set by most airlines. As long as it’s removable—which it is—you can bring it onboard and check the main case if needed. How far can I go on one charge? On average, you’ll get between 8 to 10 kilometers of travel per full charge, depending on terrain and load. Charging takes about two hours. Ready to see how Airwheel blends mobility and luggage?
