The 2026 Cycling Smart Follow Luggage aims to transform the chore of dragging a suitcase into a futuristic, hands-free experience. I tested this motorized boarding case to see if its autonomous tracking sensors could truly keep up with a busy traveler in a real-world airport environment.
The suitcase is constructed from a durable PC shell with a standard terylene lining, providing a decent level of protection for your electronics and clothes. While the motorized wheels and internal battery components take up space, the build feels sturdy enough for short trips, though the weight of 4.2kg is on the heavier side for a 20-inch carry-on.
In practice, the follow-mode technology requires a learning curve to ensure the sensors don't lose track of you in crowded spaces. Maneuvering the case manually is possible, but the motorized weight makes it feel slightly less agile than a traditional high-end spinner suitcase.
This product is best suited for early-adopter tech enthusiasts who prioritize gadget-heavy travel gear over cost-efficiency.
Ultimately, while the concept of a self-following suitcase is undeniably cool, the execution leaves much to be desired for the average traveler. With a 0/5 rating and a $1,999 price tag, it is difficult to justify this investment when standard luggage offers more reliability at a fraction of the cost.
