How many times have we found ourselves in the situation of bringing with us only a hand baggage for short journeys, so as not to be overwhelmed by our luggage? Yet it has happened many times that the hands were occupied by hand luggage just when there was the need to have them free, perhaps to respond to the call received on our flaming top of the range smartphone. To all this Xiaomi through its 90Fun affiliate from the answer, presenting at the CES2018 in Las Vegas a suitcase that follows the traveler like a puppy, so much so that the product name is 90Fun's Puppy 1.
The 90Fun suitcase presented by Shanghai Runmi Technology Co. Ltd., a company born in 2015, is not the first model to exist on the market but it is the first to boast the self-balancing functionality, thanks to partnership with Segway. The function is regulated via a remote control that allows the user to pilot the suitcase that one offers internal space of 20 inches.
90Fun has already produced remarkable suitcases for Xiaomi, obtaining really huge consents, like the last model that registered 24 sales in just 160000 hours. 90Fun's Puppy 1, however, represents the first appearance for the company in the United States:
Focusing on the US market is the first step in 90Fun's international branding strategy because it is here that the first users of the new technology meet and the strong curiosity inherent in this region makes it a perfect place to launch our smart suitcase "(Miao Liu , CEO of 90Fun, in a press release).
The idea of a suitcase following you isn't entirely new: the Cowarobot R1, launched last year, also boasts sensors to prevent it from bumping into other travelers or falling down a flight of stairs. Unlike the Puppy 1, the Cowarobot balances on four wheels rather than two Segway-inspired wheels. The well-known site TheVergemanaged to make a "ride" with a prototype of the Puppy 1 suitcase which, however, does not seem to be free of problems, such as excessive acceleration and a remote control not very reliable and often the suitcase seems to overturn revealing, however, that the construction material seems very reliable, shockproof and scratch resistant.
90Fun said it will take i pre-orders for the suitcase in the second half of the 2018 through a crowdfunding campaign and we hope that at that point the product is more reliable. Anyway the Chinese company will have to deal with the new rules of the airlines that have banned certain smart baggage due to safety problems, related to the internal batteries of the product which must be of the removable type. Therefore 90Fun must be aware of this when launching its products.
Nerd, Geek, Netizen, terms that do not belong to me. Simply myself, technology lover and provocative as Xiaomi does with his products. High quality at fair prices, a real provocation for the other most famous brands.
