Motorized Suitcase Saves Back, Empties Wallet

A company called Live Luggage plans to start selling Thursday a $1,300 suitcase with TWO MOTORS (one in each wheel) that helps you pull the load. A special handle puts 85% of the weight on the wheels, and the power-assist system senses when you're pulling and gives you a hand. The motors will go about 1 3/4 miles on a charge.
