Honda has just unveiled their Motocompacto, an electric scooter that, incredibly, folds into a rectangle just 3.7" wide, 21.1" tall and 29.2" long. In its briefcase form, it takes up little space and can be fully charged from a regular wall outlet in 3.5 hours.
It’s probably worth checking the details on specific products and airline restrictions before buying, but some of them specifically advertise they can be used as a carry-on.
Looking on Amazon, they seem especially targeted at kids carry-on. I can see it being a lot easier for kids to handle a big airport on a scooter than just walking.
I just want to take this and ride it through the airport
They probably wouldn’t let you bring it in, but now I’m picturing someone leading the TSA on a chase through the airport on one of these things:
“Sir, you’re not allowed to bring th-”
rides off
“You’ll never take my scooter!”
Until you get in a high speed chase with a TSA agent on a Segway…
I’d watch that buddy-cop-comedy.
Just make sure you take your shoes off first… and your belt, and any jewelry. It’s probably best just to show up naked.
There are carry-on bags with scooters built into them.
It’s now my dream to have one of these
I don’t believe you, that sounds too magical to exist…

Hah, that’s great! They let you take these as carry ons?
