Live Luggage Hybrid PA
Dragging a heavy suitcase uphill is no fun at all
– which is why Live Luggage has come up with
a range of powered luggage. Voted one of Time
magazine’s Best Travel Gadgets of 2009, the
Hybrid PA has motor driven wheels combined
with a patented anti-gravity handle system
(shifting 85 per cent of the weight over the wheels)
which according to the manufacturers, renders it
“virtually weightless while moving”. Powered by
rechargeable batteries, it can travel uphill for up
to a mile and half on one charge. Available in soft
nylon (which has detachable laptop and weekend
bags) or in a hard shell with TSA-recognised
combination locks. £395 from John Lewis or
