Nobody likes to take long walks at the airport, everybody would rather ride in style, and this is the lightbulb moment that lead him to Modobag™.

The idea for Modobag™ came to him at the airport while pulling the kids on his suitcase—looking at their giggling faces struck a chord within him “Why can’t we ride our luggage and get to where we’re going faster with less stress?”  

At the end of 2016, the original Modobag™ was successfully launched on Indiegogo raising $780k. Since then, the rideable luggage has undergone several significant iterations to arrive at the new Modobag 2.0. This is the bag you’re pre-ordering today.

Now it’s time to meet the rest of the team.
