If you're a so called "travel warrior", then apparently the LiveLuggage power assisted (PA series) suitcase is for you. Weighing in at 10.6kg (23-pounds), the 12V NiMH rechargeable battery will provide you with 1.5 miles of assisted travel under a 32kg load. If you're thinking, hmmm... gonna have to get me 2 of these to compensate for the reduced packing space, at least you'll impress your travel partner with the savvy foresight to only pack the one recharging cord for both cases. With a price tag of $1,365 US, we're guessing the team at LiveLuggage missed the irony in the recent Derrie-Air prank.

I'd be more impressed if, by pulling the thing, you could generate power. Maybe for a cell phone or laptop.
1) If your stuff weighs so much that you need a motor to pull it, it's probably way over the airline check-in limit.
2) If you can afford the suitcase in the first place, you can also afford a personal skycap in a red jumpsuit to lug the thing around instead - a much better status symbol.
