Reacting to the video, Samuel Twain said:
"I mean really. Is this even a problem? We are so lazy now that rolling (since most luggage has wheels) through the airport (which is usually well under 6 miles) is too much?
"This is not inspiring, it is depressing."
Kieran Archer commented:
"It’s fun, that’s about it. I would get one just for the laugh."

Daniel Holmstock said:
"Good for people that have an ailment or handicap, but to see healthy people ride this is another attempt to tempt people to become lazy. Again, had this been marketed to those ailing in health perhaps, but no otherwise."
Dr Tariq uz Zafar commented:
"Cell phone batteries have been known to explode .... what are the safety requirements for this bag in the hold of an aircraft?"
