Tired of dragging your luggage through busy airports? Take a ride on your suitcase and honk your way through!

A Chinese inventor has developed a battery-powered scooter with a suitcase which not only helps in transporting his belongings but also himself.

Amateur inventor He Liangcai from Hunan Province has even acquired a patent for this invention.

Liangcai demonstrated his suitcase scooter earlier this week, riding all the way to his home a dozen kilometres away, 'Global Times' reported.

Weighing just seven kilogrammes, Liangcai's scooter is capable of carrying two people and can travel with a speed of 20 kilometres per hour for a distance of 50 to 60 kilometres on a full charge.

Liangcai, originally a farmer, said it took him 10 years to develop the scooter that comes equipped with GPS navigation and a burglar alarm.

The vehicle consists of a stripped-down electric scooter embedded into the suitcase. The rider strides the rectangular luggage and grabs handlebars that control the throttle, breaks and lights, the report said.
