Honda has announced that it will be producing a suitcase that can be ridden as a scooter.
So, self propelled luggage, huh? This sounds awfully familiar.
I think that I want mine with sapient pearwood paneling.
If complete and utter chaos was lightning, then he'd be the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting 'All gods are bastards!'
I'm not surprised that someone did this, but I would not have guessed that Honda be the one that done it:
With a growing market for electric scooters, we were expecting manufacturers to all eventually pile in, but Honda arriving on the scene with a rideable suitcase isn't quite what we had in mind.
When we noted earlier this year that electric two-wheelers were pulling ahead of electric cars in some parts of the world, we didn't anticipate something like the Honda Motocompacto to show up – yet here we are, looking at a full-on rideable rectangle.
For what it's worth, motorized smart luggage is definitely a thing already, and available from Airwheel and similar outfits. We've seen people ride them around at tourist hot spots and airports. We're just raising a collective eyebrow at an automaker like Honda getting involved in this segment.
A top speed of 15 MPH, a range of 12 miles, a 3.5 hour charging time, and all it costs is $995.00.
Well that, and any remaining vestige of your dignity.
