It rode flawlessly at a variety of speeds over different surfaces from laminate to carpet and hardwood.
However, because of the built-in battery and motor, the interior storage space is extremely limited.
You wont be able to pack much more than a handful of small things.
However for a one-of-a-kind tech-enabled suitcase that doubles as a motorized scooter, its a super fun option.
Many reviews of this suitcase cite problems using the app.

This is a clever feature we often wish more checked luggage had.
The bag itself is 19.2 pounds.
Overpackers, rejoice: this suitcase with a built-in scale means youll never face unexpected overweight baggage fees again.
The suitcase is not expandable, and there is no USB charging.
you could also calculate how heavy your bag is through a smart integrated handle that instantly weighs luggage.
It doesnt expand and internal organizational pockets are limited.
Likewise, it held up exceedingly well in T+L lab tests.
The smart features are also quite useful.
The front laptop pocket takes up a lot of space on the inside of the suitcase.
Theres also a front-loading padded laptop pocket designed to protect devices up to 15.6 inches, and TSA-approved locks.
Many planes these days have built-in seat outlets for charging anyway.
And while a built-in weight scale can help overpackers, they sometimes add weight themselves to a bag.
Check with your airline before traveling
Not every tech feature will prove compatible with airline regulations.
The method to connect a battery to your smart luggage unit depends on the electronics associated with it.
If theres any chance your battery could be damaged, leave it at home.
