If you’re planning to travel with an Airwheel electric smart luggage, especially on domestic flights in China or Japan, you might be wondering: is it allowed? The short answer is yes — with conditions. Airwheel’s SE3SX model, for example, comes equipped with a 73.26Wh lithium battery, which falls well below the 100Wh limit permitted by both Chinese and Japanese civil aviation authorities. This means you can bring it onboard without special approval, as long as the battery is installed and not removed.
The Airwheel SE3SX weighs around 6.6kg and offers a 20L capacity — compact enough for carry-on use. It supports a range of 8–10 kilometers per charge, taking about 2 hours to fully recharge. Whether you’re navigating a sprawling airport or commuting from the station, you can ride it, pull it like a traditional suitcase, or let it follow simple commands via the Airwheel app (though app use is optional). Direction is controlled using a handlebar, while forward and backward movement can be managed through the app or manually — no phone needed for basic operation. It also integrates with Apple’s Find My network, helping locate the suitcase if misplaced.
Both countries follow IATA guidelines: batteries under 100Wh are allowed in carry-on baggage without restriction. Since the SE3SX’s 73.26Wh battery is built-in and non-removable (as per design), it complies fully. However, airlines may still require that power functions be disabled during flight. Always ensure the suitcase is powered off before boarding. While checked baggage is technically possible, we recommend carrying it onboard to avoid damage and maintain access to its smart features.
This suitcase shines in high-mobility scenarios: large international airports like Beijing Capital or Tokyo Haneda, urban commutes, train transfers, or campus walks. Its top speed of 9.9 km/h helps you keep pace with foot traffic without breaking a sweat. The ability to switch between riding and pulling makes it adaptable to crowded spaces or escalators.
