Modobag Meets Funding Goal in Less than 48 Hours!

 

Product Development Technologies (PDT) is proud to announce their partnership with the team at Modobag, makers of the motorized, rideable carry-on luggage, as they reached their Indiegogo crowdfunding goal of $50,000 in less than 48 hours!

 

Modobag sought PDT’s expertise in bringing their functional prototype concept to a production-ready design.  PDT’s design and engineering team refined the design for ease of manufacturing, and simplified the assembly process.  The result is a product ready for large-scale production that will save Modobag thousands in manufacturing and assembly costs.

 

“The Modobag team put a lot of thought and effort into this product,” said Steve Fragassi, Mechanical Engineer at PDT. “Modobag is a great design that is going to change the way we travel.”

 

Modobag combines the convenience of a standard suitcase with the innovation of personal transportability, GPRS-GSM tracking, and dual USB charging ports to create the world’s only motorized, smart and connected carry-on that gets you to your destination three times faster than the average walking speed.
