You might have seen the autonomous luggage drone Cowarobot, which made some people realize driving your luggage could be even more fun, resulting in the Modobag. This isn’t just any rolling luggage — it’s a fully motorized, ride-able suitcase that can go up to 8 mph.

 

The Transportation Security Administration and Federal Aviation Administration approved Modobag, though some airline security checks might want to take a look at the battery. It can be dragged like a traditional suitcase, but that’s not nearly as fun as pulling out the handlebars and pressing the accelerator. There are also two USB charging ports and real-time location tracking.

 

There are two modes for the bag, indoor and outdoor, the former of which only takes you up to 5 mph. Outside, it can go faster, and the sturdy, skateboard-like wheels should handle sidewalks and pavement. The battery will last you three hours, more than enough juice to carry you through the airport.
