Japan is on the case: crackdown on rideable luggage
The Guardian
|July 30, 2024
As record numbers of tourists flock to Japan to take advantage of the weakness of the Japanese yen, some are running into trouble with authorities thanks to the growing popularity of motorised, rideable suitcases.
Two big Japanese airports have already asked travellers not to ride motorised suitcases within their facilities, according to the Kyodo news agency, while police are urging domestic retailers to warn customers of the strict laws concerning their use.
In recent years motorised luggage, similar to children's scooters but powered by lithium-ion batteries, has become more common among travellers, while also being popularised by celebrities such as Paris Hilton and Shilpa Shetty.
