Suitcase-Made Scooters

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

A Farmer in China Makes the Most of Various Belongings

— May 30, 2014 — Art & Design
A farmer in China has come up with an ingenious way to get around, turning a suitcase into a scooter. Considering how much traffic people have to deal with in China, this is probably one of the faster ways to get from point A to point B.

The motorized part of the scooter is actually put in the suitcase, so the overall design looks quite aesthetically pleasing, considering it's made from scrap parts. The best part about this suitcase scooter is that it's electric, which helps with the pollution issues in the country. While it doesn't go that fast, reaching speeds of about 20 km per hour, it's still ideal for hopping on during rush hour on the way to work, and can even fit two.
