Yesterday we read in a press release about a new world’s first product that will surely interest you to hear about. It’s called LiveLuggage Power Assisted series.
It seems that this luggage uses the pancake/flat wheel technology and an Anti-Gravity handle to distribute 85% of the total weight on the wheels, making you feel like carrying only a fraction of it.
For example, if you are going on a trip and have to carry 25Kg of clothes and other stuff with you, LiveLuggage power assisted suitcase would feel like weighting just 2.5Kg or so. This sounds so interesting that we weren’t sure about its capability until we talked to Clive Hemsley and read Neil Armstrong’s examples of this product's capabilities.




The company explains how this works: the intelligent torque control system powers the wheels and the pressure is applied to the handle, leading to the concentration of force sensors at the base. The tilt switch/sensors power the wheels at specific angles between 15% and 35% incline.
This technology activates manually or automatically when needed and in those situations when you drop the luggage, it automatically deactivates so your stuff won’t run away.




In addition you can adjust the handle’s height at up to 3 levels for best ergonomics.
The PA series measures 840 x 500 x 340 mm at 10.6Kg and powers from a rechargeable 12V NiMH battery. The handle is injection moulded in a PC ABS material and glass filled nylon, and according to Neil Armstrong, Live Luggage MD, “On test, fully charged, it travelled 1.5 miles with 32kg, approximately 2.5 hours charge.”




If you are ready to purchase the coolest power assisted suitcase, it is available on the company’s website at a price of $1,365.25.
