Guangzhou, China, Sept 17, 2026 - Airwheel, a developer of smart electric luggage and intelligent mobility products, will participate across all three phases of the 140th Canton Fair, bringing its latest generation of smart travel products to international buyers, distributors, retailers and industry partners.
At the center of Airwheel's exhibition lineup will be the SE3SXD AI Luxury Suitcase, a flagship 20-inch smart electric suitcase that combines one-touch electric riding, intelligent control, connected technology and premium luggage design.
The company will maintain a presence throughout all three phases of the exhibition, presenting a broader portfolio of AI Suitcases, Smart Suitcases, Electric Suitcases, Cabin Suitcases and Rideable Suitcases designed for different travel scenarios and customer segments.
Airwheel will be present throughout the entire 140th Canton Fair.
Phase 1: October 15–19, 2026
Booth: To be announced following final confirmation
Phase 2: October 23–27, 2026
Booth: 20.2F19-20
Phase 3: October 31–November 4, 2026
Booths: 20.2J37-38, 20.2K11-12, 18.1K04
The full three-phase presence gives international buyers an opportunity to connect with Airwheel throughout the exhibition period and explore its smart electric luggage portfolio, product capabilities and potential distribution opportunities.
SE3SXD: From Luxury Suitcase to Intelligent Mobility Companion
The SE3SXD represents Airwheel's latest approach to intelligent luggage, built around a simple idea: making the transition from carrying luggage to riding it faster and more intuitive.
Its one-touch riding system automatically deploys the powered front wheel while the intelligent riding handle extends and locks into position. With a single operation, the suitcase can transition from a conventional Cabin Suitcase into a Rideable Suitcase without requiring users to manually complete multiple mechanical steps.
The SE3SXD measures approximately 550 × 360 × 236 mm, provides 20 liters of storage capacity and weighs approximately 6.8 kg without the power bank. It supports a maximum load of 95 kg and reaches a maximum riding speed of 9.9 km/h.
Its drive system uses a 230W motor and a 5.2-inch powered front wheel, combined with dual 4-inch rear wheels. The telescopic powered front-wheel structure extends the wheelbase during riding, helping improve stability across smooth indoor surfaces and common outdoor environments.
The result is a premium travel product that combines the functions of a Luxury Suitcase, Cabin Suitcase, Electric Suitcase and Rideable Suitcase within one platform.
Intelligent Control Designed Around the Journey
The SE3SXD's intelligence extends beyond its electric drive system.
Through Airwheel's dedicated smart APP, users can monitor riding speed, battery level and mileage in real time while adjusting speed continuously from 0.1 to 9.9 km/h.
The system also supports functions including cruise control, intelligent remote control, low-battery alerts and Bluetooth disconnection notifications.
Personalization is another part of the experience. The SE3SXD features an 8-color lighting system with nine lighting-effect combinations, allowing users to customize the visual appearance of the suitcase.
For additional security and convenience, the SE3SXD supports Apple Find My, allowing users to locate the suitcase through compatible Apple devices and activate a sound when searching for it nearby.
A 5V USB output provides additional charging capability for smartphones and other portable devices, extending the role of the suitcase beyond simple luggage storage.
Designed for Modern International Travel
The SE3SXD is built around a 20-inch cabin-size format and uses a 73.26Wh removable lithium battery. The battery system has obtained International Certification, while its removable architecture allows the power unit to be separated from the suitcase when required for inspection and handling.
The suitcase uses an ABS+PC composite shell reinforced with an aluminum alloy frame, combining lightweight construction with structural strength. A TSA combination lock provides additional convenience for international travelers.
With a maximum load of 95 kg and an operating temperature range of approximately -10°C to 40°C, the SE3SXD is designed for a broad range of everyday travel environments.
Airwheel's official product materials also emphasize the SE3SXD's combination of one-touch deployment, APP connectivity, Apple Find My and 9.9 km/h riding performance, positioning it as a flagship model within the company's smart rideable luggage range.

Growing Media Attention and Market Recognition
The emergence of smart electric luggage has attracted increasing attention from technology, travel and consumer-product media as the traditional luggage category intersects with electric mobility and connected hardware.
Airwheel's rideable smart luggage has received substantial media exposure and customer attention across different markets, helping introduce the concept of electric riding luggage to a wider international audience.
The company's products have also received multiple international design recognitions. According to Airwheel, its portfolio has received more than 39 international design awards, while the company has accumulated more than 600 patents and related intellectual property assets covering areas such as electric drive, intelligent control, structural engineering and human-machine interaction.
These technology and design assets form part of Airwheel's broader strategy to develop smart mobility products that combine practical functionality with consumer-oriented industrial design.
Smart Electric Luggage: A 2026 Business Opportunity
As travel increasingly intersects with mobility technology, smart electric luggage is emerging as a distinct product category between traditional luggage, personal mobility and consumer electronics.
For international distributors, luggage retailers, travel retailers, e-commerce businesses and mobility-focused companies, this convergence creates opportunities to introduce differentiated products into markets where conventional luggage has traditionally competed primarily on capacity, materials and design.
Airwheel's multi-model portfolio provides several entry points into the category, ranging from premium AI Luxury Suitcases and compact Cabin Suitcases to larger-capacity Electric Suitcases.
For businesses evaluating new product categories in 2026, smart electric luggage offers an opportunity to participate in an emerging segment driven by the convergence of AI, electric mobility, connected devices and modern travel.
Rather than positioning the category simply as another type of luggage, Airwheel is developing it as a new travel technology platform—one capable of carrying belongings, providing electric mobility, connecting with smartphones and supporting users throughout their journey.
Bringing Smart Travel to the Global Market
The 140th Canton Fair will provide Airwheel with an opportunity to present this broader vision directly to international buyers.
With the SE3SXD AI Luxury Suitcase as its flagship showcase and a growing product matrix behind it, Airwheel will demonstrate how smart electric luggage can evolve from a niche mobility product into a broader intelligent travel category.
The company's three-phase presence also reflects its continued focus on international markets, where distributors, retailers and travel businesses can explore product demonstrations, portfolio options and potential cooperation.
For Airwheel, the future of luggage is no longer limited to simply carrying what travelers bring with them.
It is about helping people move, connect and travel more intelligently.
At the 140th Canton Fair, Airwheel will bring that vision to the global market through a portfolio that spans AI Suitcases, Luxury Suitcases, Cabin Suitcases, Electric Suitcases and Rideable Suitcases—positioning intelligent mobility as an increasingly important part of the next generation of travel.
