A suitcase that becomes a scooter
The Airwheel SE3S is designed to combine carry-on luggage with a small electric scooter. In suitcase mode, it provides 20 litres of internal storage for travel essentials, including laptops. Pressing a button extends the handlebars and prepares the seat for riding.
The video describes the SE3S as cabin-sized, allowing it to be taken onto a plane before being used to travel through a terminal or to another destination. The usefulness of that feature will depend on the relevant travel and transport requirements, but the compact design is central to the product’s purpose.
Motor, battery and claimed range
A motor is built into the front wheel hub, with a claimed maximum speed of 13 km/h. The speed can be adjusted through the app, with low, medium and high settings available.
Airwheel states a range of up to 10 to 15 km. During the video, Pat reports achieving approximately 9 to 11 km, depending on hills and riding speed. That provides a practical indication that conditions can affect the result.
The lithium-ion battery is rated at 73.26 Wh and is fully removable. The video states that it is certified to UN 38.3 and complies with the United Nations’ 100 Wh power limit. The battery can also be used as a portable power bank through the suitcase’s integrated USB charging port.
Controls and riding experience
The controls are straightforward, with a throttle for acceleration and a brake lever for stopping. Holding both controls at the same time enables reverse. Steering works in the same way as a conventional scooter.
The SE3S uses suspended wheels, which the video says help it handle bumps and uneven surfaces. It is also described as nimble when moving around people and navigating crowded areas, although the product is intended for relatively flat ground.
The front wheel extension and handlebars are adjustable. Together with the frame’s stated 110 kg rider capacity, these adjustments are intended to accommodate different riders. The video describes the riding position as comfortable, including for a taller and heavier rider.
Suitcase features and Australian availability
The body combines aerospace-grade aluminium and ABS material. A retractable handle allows it to be used as conventional luggage, while a TSA-approved combination lock is included for security during travel.
The video says Airwheel provides a one-year warranty for the motor and six months for the battery. It also mentions free shipping across Australia and two physical store locations: Emporium Melbourne, on the lower ground level opposite Uniqlo, and World Square in Sydney, next to Boost Juice.
The product may appeal to travellers who want to reduce walking between terminals, as well as families looking for a way to move children or teenagers through busy airport spaces. The video also notes that the SE3S can be controlled through the app.
TechManPat’s conclusion
Pat’s view is that the Airwheel SE3S is a strong and interesting product because it combines practical luggage with a comfortable, adjustable scooter. I found the reported riding range useful, although hills and speed affected it, and I considered the removable battery, USB charging and cabin-sized design particularly convenient. I also think its ability to carry up to 110 kg makes it more versatile than a product aimed only at children or smaller riders.
