Judging from the shape, it's like a regular suitcase, which is rectangular with a reasonable size for about a week traveling purposes. Different from the outside view is the little wheels on the bottom of that unique suitcase.

To use it, you simply sit on top of the suitcase, and hold the handlebar, and press the power on, then the suitcase that has an electric motor will be able to bring you up to speed of 20 kph (12 mph) as far as 60 km (37 miles) without needing to be recharged again its lithium ion battery.
According to He Liang, the suitcase capable of carrying two adults simultaneously sit on it while driving. He thought of and designed the special suitcase since 10 years ago and inspired by the urban taxi so his special suitcase that has not been given named will combine the driving as well as bringing a large enough object carried in the hand.
Like a regular suitcase, the suitcase that he created it remains capable of carrying the luggage you can reach even the empty weight of 7 kg (15 lbs). Generally in the United States today, free of charge baggage for international flights is 25 kilograms in total.
However, the usefulness of the suitcase was not just in the airport environment alone, but can also be used in other environments. In fact, the Xinhua news agency reported that He Liang has prepared his luggage will installed tracker chip that can be accessed using the GPS. In other words, the owner can immediately know where the "magic suitcase" was located by using GPS.
He Liang hoped, his special suitcase that could soon be immediately produced. If so, stay local ground transportation regulatory issues to be faced. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | BBC]
