It has a max speed of 13 kph, that’s practically crawling. And she was on a sidewalk. This is just much ado about nothing
The woman is reportedly denying the charges saying during voluntary questioning that she was not aware that the suitcase is a vehicle that requires a driver’s license.
When you start to realize that there could be too many laws on the books.
She was scootin’ around on one of these. Here is another link, of Marques Brownlee giving specs and driving one.
Except the one Marques has can go 15mph, or about 24kph, almost twice that of the one in the article.

That’s not really a suit case though. That’s a foldable bike.
This is the purest form of battery-on-wheels I can imagine and I find this highly amusing.
The audacity of that woman!
I need that shirt.
It seems to be really well thought out. Like the original meme is nice too:
But would be a lot of paint that would flake off easily so the above design looks like it would work much better for a shirt:-).
Bring back 1970s iron-ons!
And clothing that lasts for
more thanat least one year, sheesh!But were people allowed to say “bitch” back then? Truly we have advanced in so many ways!:-)
Carrying on on her carry on, like a carrion.
Smh that’s clearly a class 0.5 ebike and drivers just need to share the road /s
Since wind does riding an ebike require a license?
If it can accelerate without pedal-assist, it’s not an ebike in many jurisdictions, likely including Japan.
