Adults on scooters and swinging briefcases can be dangerous, but that hasn’t stopped a company from combining the two.

    The Commuter Case electric scooter doubles up* as a suitcase designed to not only make riders to work faster, but to make it easier for them to carry a change of clothes or other heavy items, such as laptops.

    Powered by rechargeable* batteries, the scooter reaches a top speed of 20km/h but can also be propelled by foot if the battery dies. The firm said this means users can cover a mile in five minutes, compared to 20 minutes when walking.

    The left and right footrests, the steering column* and wheels are stored in the suitcase and are removed and assembled into position. Once the rests, wheels and handles are locked into place, the vehicle is in “ride mode.”

    The rider pushes the Commute Case forward using their foot and once moving, it is driven by an accelerator* on the handlebars. It is slowed, or stopped, using a brake.(SD-Agencies)
