  Ever wished you could clamber aboard your cumbersome luggage to zoom down a hill or coast through an airport?

  Driven by the same desire, Slovenian frequent flier Bostjan Zagar has come up with the answer -- a foot-powered scooter-suitcase known as Olaf.

  "The idea comes from having to catch the next connection flight in three minutes when the gate is on the other side of the world and you need to move faster than those moving walkways," Zagar tells CNN.

  Disappointed with available luggage solutions to this problem, Zagar used his background as an automotive engineer and his time waiting for flights to sketch up an alternative.

  Now, after three years of "testing, testing, testing," and a soon-to-finish fundraising campaign on Kickstarter, the Olaf is ready to hit the streets.

  It's available in three models: an airline-approved carry-on suitcase with a built-in kick scooter; a backpack with kick scooter and a kick scooter that can carry another bag.

  All three feature wheely suitcase-style collapsible handles and can double up as a hand trolleys.

  有没有想过有一天你能跨上你那笨重的行李箱,让它带你滑下山或穿行机场呢?

  一位斯洛文尼亚的飞行常客波斯简·扎加尔(Bostjan Zagar)就有这种想法,而且他找到了解决方案——一种名叫奥拉夫(Olaf)的滑板车行李箱。

  “这个点子是这么来的,当我急需在三分钟之内赶上一班中转飞机,而登机口在机场的另一端,显然我需要走得比自动人行道更快才行,”扎加尔对CNN说。

  扎加尔对现有的行李箱设计感到失望,作为一名汽车工程师,扎加尔利用等飞机的时间想出了一个解决草案。

  经过三年不断的试验,现在这款奥拉夫滑板车行李箱已经做好“上路”的准备,当然这也得益于Kickstarter上即将结束的筹资活动的帮助。

  奥拉夫有三种模式:第一种是允许带上飞机的行李箱,它有一个内置滑板车;第二种是带滑板车的背包;第三种是一个能再带一个包的滑板车。

  这三种模式都有如下特征:都是带轮子的手提箱,手柄既可折叠,又可拉长成手推车。
