If you’re tired of waiting around for the next bus or T (let’s face it, it’d be weird if you weren’t), just pop open your future rideable suitcase instead. Duh. This sleek compact suitcase by Green Energy Motors Corp is their solution to the “urban in-between commute” and no, this is not an April Fools joke.
The commute-case is currently in development by Illinois-based Green Energy Motors Corp and is selling the all-in-one travel companion as an eco-friendly electric powered form of transportation. Green Energy’s website states that the scooter-like vehicle can easily be deployed in three to five seconds and requires no gasoline, no tailpipe emissions, no downtown traffic gridlock and no need to look for a parking space.
“As a sleek, cool, eco-friendly briefcase sized in-between commuter, to replace an automobile and integrate with public transit use Commute-Case ™ as your first mile ride (from home to train station or bus stop),” writes the company on its website. “After de-boarding your daily commuter train or bus, use Commute-Case ™ for your last mile ride to work, school, shopping, or any local destination not within your desired walking distance.”
Weighing in at 27 pounds, this briefcase, which probably be the heaviest one you will ever own though well worth it, can move a load up to 275 pounds and can go 25 miles on a single recharge from its battery pack. Each re-charge will only cost ten cents, and will make the owners a little bit happier about shelling out the initial money to buy it in the first place.
Green Energy Motors Corp are currently taking reservations on Paypal and if you pre-order one now you can save 50% off the regular price of $5,990 for the stealer price of $2,995 or you can reserve a commute-case for a 5% deposit of $149.75.
The commute-case will have 8 different colors to choose from including translucent green, blue, red and purple, along with metalic styles like flake gold and silver, standard jet black and perfectly pink.
If you’ve been wondering how to get around the grid-lock traffic and avoid public transportation this may soon be the future solution to transportation.
