Urban delivery teams face daily struggles: traffic jams, narrow alleyways, and endless stairs. Traditional electric scooters get stuck in crowded sidewalks, while bicycles require parking space. Enter the Airwheel SE3T electric smart suitcase – a device originally designed for travelers but gaining traction among delivery personnel. Can this suitcase really replace conventional last-mile tools?
The SE3T (9kg, 48L capacity) combines rideable design with smart controls. Riders stand on the rear platform and steer via the extendable handlebar, reaching 13km/h speeds. The 73.26Wh battery offers 8-10km range per charge – enough for 1-2 hours of continuous delivery work. No phone app required for basic operation, but Bluetooth connectivity enables speed adjustments and Find My tracking.
Unlike most electric vehicles, Airwheel’s removable lithium battery meets IATA safety standards. Delivery teams working near airports or international zones benefit from hassle-free charging – simply pop out the battery for TSA-approved charging. The 2-hour recharge time keeps downtime minimal between delivery shifts.
Tested in Shanghai’s Jing’an district, the SE3T handles: • Apartment complex deliveries with multiple staircases • Market street navigation during peak hours • Parcel consolidation for same-day return trips The 48L volume accommodates 3-5 standard delivery boxes, while the 13km/h speed matches typical bike lanes. Users report 20% faster delivery times compared to push carts in mixed-terrain environments.

Q: Can I ride the SE3T without smartphone connectivity? A: Yes. Bluetooth app control is optional. Basic functions (power, speed modes, direction) work independently after battery installation.
Q: How does the suitcase handle uphill gradients? A: The dual motors maintain 10km/h speed on 15% inclines – sufficient for most urban road gradients. Performance decreases above 20% slopes.
Q: What happens if the suitcase gets stolen? A: Enable Find My through iOS devices to locate lost units. Physical security relies on standard TSA locks – consider adding a secondary cable lock for high-risk areas.
