The Airwheel SE3SL electric smart luggage is designed with user convenience and safety in mind. One common question we get is why the battery is positioned on the side instead of inside the main storage area. The answer lies in both practicality and compliance. The removable 73.26Wh lithium-ion battery powers the motor that allows you to ride or control the suitcase hands-free via app, but it must be easily accessible for airline regulations. Placing it externally—yet securely—lets travelers quickly remove it when required by airports, avoiding delays or denial of boarding.
The SE3SL isn’t just about mobility—it’s a full travel companion. With a lightweight design at around 6.8kg and a 20L capacity, it’s ideal for short trips or as carry-on. You can ride it at up to 9.9 km/h, use the handle to steer while controlling movement through the Airwheel app (forward/backward), or simply pull it like a traditional suitcase. Even without the app, basic riding functions work right out of the box once the battery is installed. Plus, it integrates with Apple’s Find My network, helping locate your luggage if misplaced—no GPS needed.
Air regulations require lithium batteries over a certain capacity to be carried in the cabin and often removed from devices. The SE3SL’s 73.26Wh battery falls within most airlines’ allowed limit (under 100Wh), but still needs to be removable. By mounting it on the side in a locked, tamper-resistant case, Airwheel ensures quick access without compromising security or using up internal packing space. Charging takes about two hours, and the battery can be swapped or charged separately—a big plus for frequent flyers.
This suitcase shines in environments where walking long distances is tiring—like sprawling airport terminals, university campuses, or city commutes. Business travelers appreciate the hands-free glide between gates, while urban commuters love the seamless transition from train station to office. Whether you’re navigating crowded streets or rushing to connect flights, the SE3SL reduces physical strain without sacrificing style or function.
