Unless you’re the sort that’s highly adept at living on a few pieces of clothing out of backpack, this might just be the answer to one of traveling’s most pressing problems of big, bulky bags – a powered luggage system.
The British-designed Live Luggage uses nano-technology, pancake motors in the wheels and intelligent control and sensor systems to create a state-of-the-art luggage system designed to make hauling and maneuvering around suitcases a breeze.
Here’s how it works – simple trolley handles merely transfer the total weight of a loaded case directly downwards, making going up steps or gradients a nightmare. Live Luggage uses a basic pivot triangle that connects the case and the handle that is loaded flush from the back, not the top of the case, so the weight is shifted straight on top of the wheels instead of your arm. It’s easy to control by people of all heights. Then there’s the powered wheels with motors strong enough to go 1 ½ miles uphill fully loaded.
The PA series of Live Luggage also comes with an extra security measure. While almost 90% of all soft and hard suitcases use zips, metal and plastic, Live Luggae is made from the same material used on car bumpers, and instead of using zips, is slotted together.
Best of all, Live Luggage is powered by a small rechargeable battery cell the size of mobile phone and conveniently can be recharged overnight.
Live Luggage retails at £700. For more information, log onto www.liveluggage.com
