Airwheel’s electric smart luggage blends convenience with innovation, letting users ride, pull, or carry their way through airports. But flying with a battery-powered suitcase raises questions: Will it pass TSA or EU security checks? How do you handle the battery? Let’s break down the steps to ensure a smooth journey.
Airwheel’s SE3T model (48L capacity, 9kg) offers a 73.26Wh removable battery, 8-10km range, and 13km/h speed—perfect for navigating large terminals. Control via the app or handlebar, and track it with Apple’s Find My network. No need for a phone to ride: just install the battery and go.
The 73.26Wh battery meets IATA regulations (≤100Wh allowed in carry-on). **Always remove the battery before security screening**—lithium-ion batteries aren’t allowed in checked luggage. Pack the battery in your carry-on, and inform agents about the suitcase’s motorized components to avoid delays.
Ideal for frequent flyers, urban commuters, or road-trippers. Use the SE3T to glide through airports, or the lighter SE3SX (6.6kg, 20L) for quick city breaks. The 2-hour charging time ensures minimal downtime between trips.
| Feature | Airwheel SE3T | Standard Suitcase |

| Battery | Removable (73.26Wh) | None |
| Control | App/handlebar | Manual |
| Weight | 9kg | 2-5kg |
**1. Can I keep the battery installed during flights?** No. Airlines require removal of all lithium-ion batteries ≥100Wh. Even though Airwheel’s 73.26Wh is within limits, removing it speeds up security checks. **2. How long does charging take?** About 2 hours. The battery charges separately, so you can pack the suitcase while it charges. **3. Do I need the app to use it?** No. The suitcase works independently once the battery is installed. The app adds control features but isn’t mandatory.
