yes so like you would think you'd feel like a big douchebag on one of these things but it's really a lot of fun to ride I was getting some weird looks but it's fun I don't care what people think you've probably seen the moto bag make its rounds on the internet lately it's a carry-on size piece of luggage that doubles as a writable electric scooter and yes it looks ridiculous if you're like me you're thinking really what is wrong with these people that was until I actually rode a prototype around the Flatiron Building in New York it's kind of Awesome it has way more pickup than you think it can go around eight miles on a single charge and has two speeds for indoor and outdoor so the idea spawned from something we can all identify with the mind-numbing monotony of aimlessly wandering around airports the Moto Bag is built for air travel it complies with FAA and TSA size regulations all right so check it out you can actually put this on the overhead bins in airplanes and this is not too bad this one's about 25 pounds but the the final version will be 19 so yeah you pop this up and that's it and you're all set even the battery it runs on is a proof for air travel it easily converts from a pole style piece of luggage to a rideable scooter in seconds it even has foot pegs so I was shown how to use this and set it up and was off and running in no time turning with the moto bag is a little weird at first you have to lean and use the handlebar brake together but it didn't take me long to get comfortable and it has enough room to likely get you through a long weekend if you pack smartly there's also a side slot for thinner things like a laptop 85% of the bag is actually devoted just to storage the battery uses new technology that will get you 80% power after just 15 minutes of charging but a full capacity charge will take up to 90 minutes we were also told that the battery won't catch on fire like we've seen with some of those shoddy hoverboards ok the price the motor bag goes for $1000 on the company's IndieGoGo but we'll retail for around 1500 when it's all said and done now that's really expensive for luggage but this thing is one of those luxury toys that will definitely resonate with a certain type of consumer plus it's probably awesome for tailgating too
