Paragraph 1
The latest advance in suitcase
is causing problems in Japan. Many suitcases are now rideable. Travellers can sit on
, and travel at a
of up to 13 kph. The motorized luggage is becoming
popular. However, it is becoming a nuisance in some parts of Japan. More and more people there are riding their suitcases around airports, train
and Tokyo streets. The problem is that the
luggage is classed as a motorized vehicle under Japanese law. This means they can be ridden on
only. The rider needs a
, a driver's license, and insurance. Laws require the suitcases to be registered, and have a rear-view
and indicator lights. Airports in Osaka and Nagoya have asked
to pull rather than ride the suitcases.
