If you have a spare $1400, why not splurge on some powered luggage.  The LiveLuggage PA is a hard shelled suitcase with the ability to help push it’s self along when it is pulled by it’s handle, therefore destroying the most attractive feature for many, you can’t ride it and you can send it chasing after people.  With only 2 hours of power it won’t help you on a road trip, but if you like carting around 70lbs of gadgets whenever you travel, you take a look at it on Digital Trends.

“British luxury bag-maker LiveLuggage has done just that with its unique power-assisted (PA) suitcase – a long overdue update on the suitcase that coaxes it into doing the work for you. If you’re the type of technophobe who’s already envisioning a runaway motorized suitcase careening through an airport with a frantic owner not far behind, think again. One of the most radical aspects of the LiveLuggage PA suitcase’s design is its intuitive (and foolproof) control system. Rather than some sort of complex steering mechanism to move it forward, travelers can merely pull on it like an ordinary piece of luggage, and it automatically follows. It senses the load with sensors located within the handle and fires up the two motorized wheels, supposedly creating the illusion that you’re pulling nothing at all.”
