Motorised Suitcase® MS1 vs Aotos L2: Side-by-Side Luggage Test

Smart Ride-On Suitcases Compared

Using It as a Regular Suitcase

When judging these ride-on suitcases as normal carry-on luggage, the main concern is weight.

The Motorised Suitcase® MS1 gives you a 28L capacity, enough for a weekend trip. Its size is 20 inches (21.65 × 15.75 × 9.84 in), which fits most airline carry-on limits. The downside is the weight: at 8.5 kg with the battery, it is noticeably heavier than a standard carry-on. You can lift it into the overhead bin, but it takes more effort.

The Aotos L2 is slightly larger with 31L capacity and measures 20 inches (21.7 × 14.2 × 9.9 in). This makes it a bit roomier inside. With the battery, it weighs 7.9 kg, which is still heavy compared to regular luggage but a little lighter than the Motorised Suitcase® MS1.

From a packing point of view, both bags are practical and meet carry-on size rules. But if you are used to lightweight cabin luggage, the extra weight of these ride-on suitcases will be the first trade-off you notice.

Performance as a Ride-On Suitcase

Once you ride them, the story changes.

The Motorised Suitcase® MS1 can reach a top speed of 8 mph, which feels like moving faster than most airport walking crowds. It can cover about 9.32 miles on one charge and carry up to 253.53 lbs. The battery charges in roughly 3 hours, so you can get it ready again without waiting too long.

The Aotos L2 is slower, with a max speed of 6.2 mph, closer to a brisk walk. Its range is about 6.2 miles, and the maximum load is 242 lbs. Charging takes a little longer, around 3–4 hours.

In real use, the Motorised Suitcase® MS1 luggage feels stronger and better suited for longer rides, while the Aotos L2 luggage works fine for shorter trips or for users who don’t need as much speed.

Design and Features in Detail

Exterior Design of the Ride-On Luggage

Overall Look and Materials

The Motorised Suitcase® MS1 has a matte hard shell with two bold angled lines running across the body, giving it a modern, almost futuristic look. The logo in the center lights up with a shifting gradient, which makes it stand out at airports. The case is built from ABS + PC plastic and reinforced with an aluminum frame, so it feels solid in hand.

The Aotos L2 goes in another direction. It has a glossy surface and a cleaner, more minimal design. The logo sits neatly on the top, paired with a slim light strip that changes color when powered on. It is also made from ABS + PC, but without the extra aluminum frame, it feels a little less sturdy.

The Motorised Suitcase® MS1 luggage feels more premium and tech-driven, while the Aotos L2 is sleeker and simpler. If durability is a priority, the MS1 has the edge.

Telescopic Handle for Pulling

Both the Motorised Suitcase® MS1 and Aotos L2 are equipped with telescopic handles, so when you are not riding, they work like any other carry-on suitcase. The handles extend smoothly and are comfortable enough for regular airport use.

There is no major difference here—both handles are reliable and practical.

Removable Power Bank and Charging Ports

The Motorised Suitcase® MS1 includes a 36.5V 2.6Ah removable battery that is airline approved. It can also work as a portable power bank. What makes it handy is the extra charging options: two ports built into the suitcase (one USB and one Type-C) plus another USB port directly on the battery. This means you can charge a phone, tablet, and laptop at the same time.

The Aotos L2 also has an airline-approved removable battery (37V 2.5Ah). Like the Motorised Suitcase® MS1, it doubles as a power bank. The difference is in connectivity—there is only one USB port on the battery itself, with no built-in Type-C option.

Both are flight-safe, but the Motorised Suitcase® MS1 lugagge clearly offers more flexibility for charging multiple devices.

Top Handle and TSA Lock System

Each smart suitcase comes with a sturdy top handle and a TSA-approved lock that doubles as the opening button. Both locks are reliable and easy to use.

This feature is identical on both models.

Riding Control Bar

The Motorised Suitcase® MS1 adds a small but useful detail—a built-in LED screen on the control bar. It shows your current speed, battery level, and riding mode. You can also switch between high and low speeds directly from the case.

The  Aotos L2 keeps things simpler. It has the same basic control setup (right button for forward, left button for brake, both buttons together for reverse), but no display.

The riding experience feels similar, but the Motorised Suitcase® MS1 gives you more information and control while riding.

App Features and Lighting Options

The Motorised Suitcase® MS1 app feels more advanced, offering remote control, speed settings, light control, cruise mode, Bluetooth alerts, and even mileage tracking.

The Aotos L2 app is more straightforward. It lets you adjust the suitcase lighting, check ride history, and see basic suitcase details.

Both apps add convenience, but the Motorised Suitcase® MS1 app is clearly more feature-packed, while the Aotos L2 app keeps it simple.

Spring-Loaded Footrests and Wheels

On the Motorised Suitcase® MS1, the footrests automatically pop out when powered on, and they are wide enough to rest your feet comfortably.

The Aotos L2 requires you to fold out the footrests by hand. They are narrower too, which may feel less stable for some riders.

Both use the same three-wheel setup—two smaller wheels at the back and a larger wheel at the front to help with balance. The Motorised Suitcase® MS1 makes riding easier and more comfortable, especially for longer rides.

Interior Layout and Storage

Both suitcases open from the top using the TSA lock, so you don’t need the app just to get inside.

Inside, the Motorised Suitcase® MS1 has a two-layer design. One section is good for clothes, while the other works well for smaller items like a laptop or accessories. The total capacity is 28L.

The Aotos L2 has a single large compartment with 31L of space. It is more straightforward but less organized.

The Motorised Suitcase® MS1 helps you separate items neatly, while the Aotos L2 gives you slightly more space in one big compartment.

Who Is This Really For?

• Families with kids: Parents know that keeping children entertained during long walks in airports is not easy. A ride-on suitcase doubles as both luggage and a fun ride, making travel days smoother.
• Adults who want a playful gadget: For grown-ups who still enjoy a bit of fun, this is part luggage, part toy. It’s a conversation starter and definitely stands out from regular carry-ons.
• Teens and young travelers: Teenagers and students will enjoy the novelty and the sense of freedom. It’s not just about practicality, but also about having fun while moving around.

Which One Should You Buy?

If you’re looking for the full ride-on experience, faster speed, longer range, smarter app features, and better comfort, the Motorised Suitcase® MS1 is the clear pick. It feels more refined, more future-ready, and those little touches like the LED display and wider footrests really do make a difference once you’re on the move.

The Aotos L2 is simpler and a bit more straightforward, which works if you just want an easy-to-ride option without too many extras. But if you’re going to invest in a ride-on suitcase at all, chances are you’ll want the advanced features that set the Motorised Suitcase® MS1 apart.

Both are fun, but if you want the smart suitcase that truly feels worth your money and delivers that extra spark of excitement, choose the Motorised Suitcase® MS1.
