Scooter-suitcase invented for commuters in a wheel hurry

Looking something like a grown-up Trunki (you know, the luridly-coloured mini suitcases kids can ride on) it could result in the strange sight of buttoned up businessmen whizzing around towns up and down the country on modified scooters originally designed for eight-year-olds.

Devised by British company Micro Scooters UK, the hard-shell Samsonite case combines with an in-built scooter which can be detached.

Costing £250 a pop, it's being marketed at frequent business flyers and people making short commutes to work.

For flyers it's classed as carry-on luggage so can be stowed on board in an over-head locker.

A spokesman for the company that originally produced micro scooters told Mail Online: 'Micro Scooters UK has already changed the face of the school run with thousands of families having swapped their gas guzzling 4x4s for the Mini and Maxi Micros.

'Now the company is set to do the same for commuting with the micro Luggage scooter.

'Not only is it a healthier option to a car, it's a great way of reducing your carbon footprint.'
