Does the suitcase emit any noticeable odor from materials or electronics when new?

Q1: Does the suitcase smell like burnt plastic or rubber when I first use it?

Not at all. The materials (ABS+PC shell, PU seat, rubber wheels) are low-VOC and undergo quality control. A very faint “new plastic” scent may be present, but it dissipates within 1‑2 days. The electronics are sealed and don’t overheat during normal use.

Q2: Is the battery safe and does it affect the smell?

The 73.26Wh lithium battery is certified (UN38.3). It’s removable and has a smart BMS. No odor comes from the battery compartment—just a clean, neutral smell. If you ever notice a chemical smell, stop using and contact Airwheel support (rare).

Q3: Can I use Find My without an app? Does the suitcase need a phone to ride?

Find My requires your Apple device to locate the suitcase, but the riding function does not need any app. Install the battery, hop on, and steer. No activation, no app download required. The suitcase works 100% standalone.
