A wheeled luggage item includes a base defining an interior cavity, and a liner structured to partition the interior cavity into a first portion and a second portion physically isolated from the first portion. Personal luggage items may be stored in the cavity first portion. First and second wheels are rotatably coupled to the base so as to be movable between stowed positions in the cavity second portion and deployed positions outside the base, to enable a riding mode of the luggage item. Steering levers are rotatably deployable to operably connect to the first wheel, enabling the first wheel to be steered by a user riding the luggage item in the riding mode. To propel the luggage item in the riding mode, a battery in the interior cavity may power an in-wheel motor operably connected to the second wheel.

A luggage apparatus is described. The luggage apparatus comprises an apparatus body having a moveable portion and a fixed portion, the moveable portion being movable with respect to the fixed portion between a deployed position and a stowed position. In the deployed position, a moveable portion surface and a fixed portion surface are arranged to define a seat for a child and in the stowed position, the moveable and fixed portion surfaces are substantially contained within the luggage apparatus body.

The present invention provides an item of luggage (1) having a receptacle (2) to receive items to be transported, a support (14) for the receptacle, a pair of wheels (5, 6) connected to the support (9) and a handle (3) connected to the support (14), with the support (9), receptacle (2), wheels (5, 6) and handle (3) being arranged such that the handle (3) may be used to push or pull the receptacle (2) along on the pair of wheels (5, 6) in the manner of a conventional flight bag. The item further comprises a footplate (11) pivotally attached to the support at one end and with a wheel at the other end. The (footplate 11) is pivotable between a folded position where it lies substantially adjacent the receptacle (2) and an extended position where the footplate (11) extends away from the receptacle (2), wherein, when the footplate (11) is in an extended position, the said pair of wheels (5, 6), the footplate (11) and the handle (3) form a scooter, The invention may, for example, be applied to a piece of carry-on luggage for an aircraft and may thus encourage a child to transport the item through the airport and make the experience more fun for that child.

Motorized luggage includes a frame enclosed in part by an outer shell, the frame defining an internal storage compartment, a front wheel positioned along the bottom surface of the frame, wherein the front wheel is connected to a first axle that is connected to a steering shaft, wherein the position of the steering shaft controls an orientation of the front wheel, a retractable handlebar received by the steering shaft, first and second rear wheels connected by a second axle, wherein the second axle is operatively coupled to the frame; an electric motor mounted on the frame, wherein the electric motor drives the rear wheels, and a retractable pull handle that engages the first and second rear wheels.

A multi-functional storage apparatus and system may comprise a storage unit such as a backpack, suitcase, briefcase, or other luggage item that is bodily integrated with a personal transportation device. A scooter embodiment may comprise a steering shaft terminating in a wheel and a first and a second wheeled foot plate configured to support and rollably transport the storage unit and, when optionally deployed, a user. An electrical power source may deliver electrical power to one or more mobile electronic devices transported by a user and may be integrated with the body of the apparatus as well.

A convertible suitcase stroller apparatus comprising a suitcase portion, a stroller frame, and a seat, wherein the apparatus is configurable between a retracted suitcase configuration and a deployed stroller configuration for seating and transporting a child.

Driving wheels and non-driving wheels are installed to a lower portion of a case body. The driving wheels are driven by drive devices, respectively. A control device controls a drive operation of the drive devices. An angle sensing device senses a tilt angle of the case body about a rotational axis of the driving wheels. In a case where the tilt angle of the case body, which is sensed with the angle sensing device, is equal to or larger than a predetermined tilt angle in a state where the driving wheels contact a ground while the non-driving wheels are lifted away from the ground, the control device controls the drive devices in such a manner that the case body is held in a self-standing state with the driving wheels while keeping the non-driving wheel away from the ground.

A backpack for stowing and carrying a smart self-balancing electric scooter is provided. The backpack includes a tubular shaped body defining an interior compartment sized to fit a self-balancing electric scooter compactly therein. A pocket disposed in the interior compartment receives the scooter's battery and a slot disposed in the body provides a power cord access to the interior compartment, such that the scooter may be charged while stowed in the backpack. A flame retardant layer lining the interior compartment extinguishes any fire caused by the scooter battery, while the scooter charges in the backpack. An access flap and an access collar provide access to the interior compartment for stowing the scooter. A shoulder harness enables the backpack to be carried and a retractable handle and a plurality of multidirectional wheels enable the backpack to be towed while the scooter is stowed therein.

An intelligent schoolbag, comprising a schoolbag body, wherein storage spaces are formed in the schoolbag body, and book selection means are arranged in the storage spaces; wheels and a driving device for driving the wheels to walk are arranged on the schoolbag body, the driving device is connected with pedals for the user to tread on, and the driving device is an electric monowheel of which the walking speed is controlled by an gravity sensing gyroscope. The intelligent schoolbag of the invention can keep books therein in order despite of bumping, thus articles in the schoolbag are neat. The schoolbag realizes easy access to books and can really reduce the burden to carry the schoolbag on the way to schools, and can better meet the needs of students.
