The Airwheel electric smart luggage is designed to make travel easier, especially in large airports or crowded train stations. One of the most common questions travelers ask is whether the battery can be removed easily — particularly when flying. The short answer: yes, the battery in Airwheel smart suitcases like the SE3SX model is removable, and it doesn’t require any tools to take out.
The Airwheel SE3SX, weighing around 6.6kg and offering a 20L capacity, packs a 73.26Wh lithium battery — well within airline limits for carry-on electronics. This means you can bring the suitcase on board as long as you remove the battery before boarding, which many airlines require. The removal process is simple: just open the designated battery compartment on the side of the case, unplug the connector, and slide the battery out by hand. No screwdrivers or special tools needed.
Airlines generally prohibit built-in non-removable batteries in checked luggage due to fire risks. But since the Airwheel’s battery is both removable and under 100Wh, it meets IATA safety standards. Always carry the battery with you in your cabin bag. Reattaching it after landing takes seconds — plug it back in, power on, and you’re ready to ride or control via the Airwheel app.
Imagine walking through a sprawling airport, tired after a long flight — instead of dragging your bag, you hop on the Airwheel SE3SX and let it glide you to your gate at up to 9.9 km/h. It works seamlessly in train stations, university campuses, or event venues. Even without the app, the suitcase functions normally: you can ride, walk beside it using handlebar steering, or pull it like a traditional roller. The app adds extra control (like reversing), but isn’t required for basic operation. Plus, it supports Apple’s Find My network, helping locate your suitcase if misplaced — no GPS tracking or real-time monitoring, just device-level finding through paired Apple devices.

The battery provides 8 to 10 kilometers of range under normal conditions, depending on terrain and rider weight. Charging takes about two hours.
Q: Does the Airwheel suitcase have GPS tracking?
No. It does not include GPS or real-time location tracking. However, it integrates with Apple’s Find My network, allowing you to see its last known location if it gets lost and is near another Apple device.
