Airwheel SQ3S is an electric suitcase specifically designed for children aged 5-8, offering a blend of practicality, entertainment, and safety in a compact, carry-on size. Inspired by an elephant's cute and round shape, the design incorporates lively and vivid cartoon patterns, making it visually appealing and stimulating children's curiosity and sense of adventure. The suitcase is crafted from lightweight yet high-strength materials, weighing only 4.8kg, ensuring excellent scratch and wear resistance while providing a light and portable user experience.

Airwheel SQ3S is equipped with a 50W brushless motor, delivering efficient and low-noise drive performance. Its three-wheel structure enhances safety and stability during riding, with a top speed limited to 6.5km/h, comparable to an adult's walking pace. Coupled with a responsive braking system and flexible omnidirectional wheels, the product can easily navigate various terrains, ensuring smooth travel. In terms of interaction design, Airwheel SQ3S focuses on simplicity and intuitiveness, allowing children to quickly grasp its usage. Buttons are located on both sides of the handle: the left side controls forward movement, while the right side is responsible for braking. Pressing both buttons simultaneously enables backward movement. Additionally, the 20L large-capacity storage space is thoughtfully divided into compartments, making it easy for children to store clothes, toys, and snacks, facilitating independent access as needed.

The product also integrates rich entertainment functions. It comes with a high-quality Bluetooth speaker that supports music playback and storytelling, paired with LED ambient lights at the bottom of the suitcase, which offer three lighting modes. These enhancements not only increase the fun factor during travel but also add a touch of technological sophistication. Moreover, the flashing wheels emit cool lights in low-light environments, enhancing the product's visibility and further ensuring safety during nighttime rides.
