Aviation approved? At least in China the battery packs are rejected from being checked in.
Yichao, it's compliant with all international airline regulations. The fact that the battery is "installed" makes it approved, we communicate the details on a badge on the bottom. Users have traveled through China thousands of times already without any problem.
cool thanks for the info!
So is the Bluesmart battery non-removable? A couple of weeks ago in Beijing they confiscated our two battery banks/packs. Apparently they're not allowed in the *checked* luggage.
Guillermo, yes, is not removable which is what FAA requires. Again, there isn't a problem in China with Bluesmart set up
Are you guys working in Hong Kong sometimes? I've heard a lot of good things about the product. Congrats launching Black Edition!
Some other high-end luggage companies like Briggs and Riley offer Lifetime Warranties [1] on their bags - would you ever consider something like this for ? I feel like for such a large purchase a guarantee like that would make the buying decision easier. [1]
thanks Ben. As we are just getting started we are offering a 2 year warranty, but I can give you my word that our support will be excellent for a lifetime. We are truly committed to being customer centric
Hi there! I'm one of the founders of . Happy to answer any questions about the Black Edition
I love the concept and the design. How long will I be able to track my bag on a full battery?
Robert, up to 30 days. Glad that you love the concept!
Congrats ! Which updates in the Black Edition do you and the team consider to be the most exciting / substantial?
Thanks Chris!! The materials inside are amazing, one of my favorite things
been wanting one of these for a while --- everytime I go to the airport, wish I had one --- looks great!
thanks a lot Sam! Get one before the're all gone! :D
I bought the original via the Kickstarter and I'm very happy with it. Looks great, is durable and reliable, the wheels are the best I've experienced on a suitcase, and I've only ever had one issue carrying it on.
What's new with this edition?
Yann, we made a big upgrade of materials, finishings and internal design, also we introduced a new OS (software/firmware) that increase performance of the technology
what does that mean for those of that bought the Kickstarter version? :/
Jake, we will send an OS update to all users! Our crowdfunding (Indiegogo) backers will always be the first to get discounts, promotions and upgrades
could you tell more about discounts and upgrades?
Any passthrough charging in the works?
maybe soon!! ;)
Is it possible to make the luggage follow us hands free with current technology? Maybe by using sensors to give the wheels autonomous powers?
hey Arieh, it is possible but still very clunky. We will always look to bring new innovations to the travel market. At some point this will make sense.
Nice Idea!
thanks Carl!!
