as a vision of urban mobility, olaf puts a spin on your usual commuting experience. its multifunctional facets allow it to act as a carry-on, airline-approved suitcase, trolley, kick-scooter and skateboard.
an instant pedal transformation system forms all 4 functionalities: an ergonomically designed backpack, with added hidden wheel cover pockets to keep your back clean when worn on the body; a kick scooter bearing a wooden deck and flexible curving based steering system; a skateboard with three large and narrow wheels and high-quality bearings; and a trolley with a lengthily double telescopic handlebar and sturdy chassis.
olaf upgrades your travel experience: it’s a business carry-on kickscooter or an urban backpack kickscooter
with two design variations — the business and urban model — olaf is fit for both fun and functionality, and — although the two models differ from one another in their intended use, they are both unisex, unisize and can bear up to 100kg (220lbs). the project is currently seeking funding on kickstarter, here.

Possibly a small revolution in “drag with” luggages. And finally with proper wheels!
Wonderful Idea. Needs To Become Reality! I Would Love To Have One!
Absolute winnah.
Just show me how me armani jacket doesn’t get a muddy wheel on it when I sling it over me shoulder, and I’ll buy half a dozen to match my wardrobe.
Excellent.

But I’m missing mudflaps – on wet surface it probably becomes all a bit dirty.
I never fancied to use a trolley or a skatebord, but with this thing I might become a fan. It’s cool for city shopping when using subways/metros.
