In recent years, hybrid cars have been the popular choice when it came to transportation, but Samsonite and Micromobility are prepared to rock that boat. Introducing Micro Luggage: a suitcase-scooter hybrid; and just when you thought you couldn't have both.

Although aimed at the young urban professional, Micro Luggage is designed to be accessible for anyone ages five to 99, believe it or not, and support a combined rider/load weight of 100kg. For those worried about the scooter's stability, its three-wheel lean-and-steer mechanism provides the perfect solution.

By combining the utility element of a suitcase with the mobility and portability of a scooter, Samsonite and Micromobility have created a simple fail-proof money maker.

The product's one con: aesthetically, it's lacking significantly; it would seem convenience and dignity were never acquainted.

Prices for this simple transportation tool have yet to be announced, however check out www.micro.ms for more information including photos and press.
