Cycling Smart Follow Autonomous Boarding Suitcase
The Cycling Smart Follow Boarding Case attempts to revolutionize the airport experience by replacing manual pulling with autonomous navigation. I put this motorized suitcase to the test to see if its smart sensors could actually handle the chaos of a busy terminal.
Performance & Build Quality
The suitcase is constructed from durable PC material with a terylene lining, which feels sturdy enough to protect your belongings from typical travel wear. However, the reliance on motorized wheels and delicate electronic sensors raises concerns about the long-term durability of the autonomous system compared to standard carry-ons.
Day-to-Day Experience
In practice, the follow-mode technology can be temperamental, requiring a clear path to avoid tripping over the luggage or losing connection in crowded areas. While the TSA-approved lock and expandable interior are convenient, the learning curve for the smart features often outweighs the physical relief of not pulling a bag.
This product is best suited for early-adopter travelers who prioritize cutting-edge technology over traditional luggage durability and price efficiency.
Final Thoughts
While the concept of an autonomous suitcase is appealing, the current execution does not justify the massive $1,999 investment. Due to significant concerns regarding reliability and the exorbitant cost, this product receives a 0/5 rating.
