I bought my last suitcase with express purpose of getting a lighter suitcase (4.2kg), to help avoid charges for excess baggage.

Well, this behemoth might help you getting in and around departure/arrival areas, but the slug for excess baggage will kill any joy on your holidays.

But then again, if you can afford USD1365 for suitcase with wheels, then the addtional charges at check-in shouldn't faze you too much...

I guess with the US carriers allowing bags of upto 32KG, this gives you 20KG to work with, but still the motorised part of it is not necessary. As long as it has wheels, even that weight isn't hard to move around. Bear in mind most people will not push it to the max anyways in terms of weight so wouldn't need the assistance. I just feel the motorised part is adding unecessary weight and really ins't warranted - especially at those prices - just pay a porter to do it, because even with a few trips a year, it still works out cheaper.]]>Jun 24th 2008 8:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/power-assisted-live-luggage-ready-to-world-premier/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/power-assisted-live-luggage-ready-to-world-premier/Jun 24th 2008 8:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/power-assisted-live-luggage-ready-to-world-premier/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/power-assisted-live-luggage-ready-to-world-premier/Jun 24th 2008 8:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/power-assisted-live-luggage-ready-to-world-premier/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/power-assisted-live-luggage-ready-to-world-premier/

Exactly how does it make it easier to pull because of large wheels?

I am not sure why you think this is so amazing, as there are a number of suitcases from Samsonite that already have a large wheel dia. ]]>Jun 24th 2008 8:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/power-assisted-live-luggage-ready-to-world-premier/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/power-assisted-live-luggage-ready-to-world-premier/
