Airwheel’s electric smart luggage is designed for modern travelers who value convenience, mobility, and practicality — especially in challenging environments like cold climates. One common concern among winter travelers is whether they can easily operate their luggage while wearing gloves. Specifically: are the zipper pulls on Airwheel electric smart suitcases large enough to grip comfortably with gloved hands? The answer is yes. Airwheel designs its luggage with user-friendly, oversized zipper pulls that are easy to grasp even with thick winter gloves, ensuring smooth access to your belongings no matter the temperature.
Let’s take the Airwheel SE3SX as an example — a lightweight, agile model weighing around 6.6kg with a 20L capacity, ideal for carry-on use. It features a built-in 73.26Wh removable battery (within airline limits), offering a range of 8–10 kilometers on a single charge, with a top speed of 9.9 km/h. You can ride it like a personal transporter through airports or city sidewalks, switch to manual pull mode, or simply roll it like a traditional suitcase. Control is intuitive: use the handlebar to steer, and optionally pair it with the Airwheel app to command forward and backward movement. Importantly, all core functions work without the app — just install the battery and go.
The 73.26Wh battery falls well under the 100Wh FAA limit for lithium-ion batteries in carry-on luggage, making it fully compliant with most international airline regulations. Since the battery is removable, you can quickly detach it if required during security checks or boarding. This flexibility ensures hassle-free travel across flights and borders.
The SE3SX excels in urban commutes, airport transits, and winter trips where walking distances are long and temperatures are low. Whether you’re navigating snowy sidewalks or rushing between terminals, the combination of glove-friendly zippers, smooth-rolling wheels, and motorized assistance makes cold-weather travel significantly easier. Plus, with Apple’s Find My network integration, you can locate your suitcase if it gets misplaced — a valuable feature when traveling in unfamiliar or harsh conditions.
