A Chinese farmer has invented a motorised suitcase that can help people carry their clothes and travel to the airport at the same time.

The ‘suitcase scooter’ has two wheels at the back and one at the front, capable of travelling up to 12mph (20km/h), and can reach up to 60km on a single charge of its lithium-ion battery.

It weighs just 7kg, and there is apparently just as much room inside to pack your clothes as non-motorised suitcase.

Inventor He Liang spent 10 years developing the device, dubbed the ‘City Cab’, after reportedly forgetting his suitcase on a flight to the US.
