If you’ve ever wished your luggage could do more than just hold your clothes, you’re not alone. The Airwheel electric smart suitcase has been turning heads for a while, but users keep asking: what could make it even better? Based on real feedback from frequent travelers, tech enthusiasts, and daily commuters, we’ve zeroed in on the features that matter most. Let’s break down what a “next-generation” Airwheel would focus on, using the current SE3T model as a benchmark.
The SE3T is a solid starting point. It’s a rideable, pullable, and rollable suitcase with a 73.26Wh removable battery that charges in about 2 hours. You can ride it at up to 13km/h for 8–10 kilometers — perfect for covering long terminal halls or campus paths. The app lets you control forward/backward speed, and you steer with the handlebar. No app? No problem: the suitcase works independently out of the box, just attach the battery and ride. Plus, Apple Find My integration means you can locate it if misplaced. With a 48L capacity and a weight of around 9kg, the SE3T is a practical carry-on alternative.
One of the biggest concerns with rideable luggage is getting through security. The SE3T’s battery is removable and meets the 100Wh limit — 73.26Wh is well below the threshold. Most airlines allow it as a carry-on item as long as the battery is taken out and packed separately. That said, always check your specific airline’s policy before flying. The future model could further simplify this by adding a quick-release battery latch that’s even more intuitive.
Where does the Airwheel shine? Imagine you land after a long flight and have a 20-minute walk to the shuttle. Instead of dragging your bag, you hop on and cruise. Or consider a university campus where your classes are spread across buildings — riding to the next lecture saves time and energy. Business travelers also love it for navigating huge conference halls. The SE3T handles smooth floors, ramps, and even some indoor-outdoor transitions, though it isn’t designed for rough terrain.

| Speed & Range | Up to 13km/h, 8-10km | Walking pace only |
| Weight | ≈9kg | ≈3-5kg (typical carry-on) |
| Capacity | 48L | 40-45L (similar size) |
| Smart Features | App control, Find My | None |
| Airline Compatibility | Battery removable | No restrictions |
Yes, it’s designed for air travel. The battery is 73.26Wh (under 100Wh) and can be removed. Take the battery in your carry-on, and check the suitcase if needed. Always verify with your airline for any updates, but most accept it.
No. The SE3T works immediately out of the box without the app. Just install the battery and you can ride using the handlebar to steer. The app adds forward/backward control, but it’s optional. The basic riding function is always available.
You get 8–10 km of ride time on a full charge (2 hours). The battery is removable and can be replaced with a spare (sold separately) for longer trips. It also supports Apple Find My, so if you misplace the suitcase, you can locate it via the Find My network.
For travelers who want to move faster and smarter, the Airwheel SE3T is already a great choice. The next generation will likely refine what users already love: better battery integration, lighter materials, and even smoother ride handling. Want to see the current models?
