BellBoy®Travelmate bridges the gap between rolling luggage and micromobility. A travel item created to keep the elegance and all the plus of the favourite hard-shell rolling luggage while at the train station or at the airport, no need to go for a backpack or wheeled backpack anymore. In the first/last mile of the journey the BellBoy®Travelmate boosts luggage into a hands-free solution, to help travellers commute in a sustainable way.
BellBoy®Travelmate promotes micromobility as the most sustainable and practical way to go on a long-distance trip; to be used with any private or rented 2-wheels vehicle, both on departure and at destination. A travel companion that offers an alternative mobility to car-centric behaviour when it comes to travel with luggage, a more practical, sustainable and enjoyable way to go on a trip or to reach the hotel. Patented.
Model&Design® Trademark® Made in Italy with recycled fabrics. Designed with a traveller-centric approach for lean consumption and manufacturing: versatile for different sizes of suitcases, just one product for any kinds of urban cyclist and riders. Vertically adjustable for a comfortable ride: the weight of the luggage rests on moped’s saddle or on bike’s backrack. Foldable when not in use: to be easily stowed or carried attached to the suitcase through the sleeves. Thanks to the foldable shoulder straps that avoids dangling bands, the BellBoy®Travelmate can be kept attached to the luggage aswell, in order to wear it while jumping on public transports or walking on cobblestone sidewalks. BellBoy® helps travellers commute in a sustainable way. A new way to go on a trip while travelling with luggage.
TheBellBoy srl is a startup & design studio focused on innovation and sustainable mobility. The Travelmate is the first of our products/patents and it will be released in Summer ’24 (Kickstarter campaign) We strongly believe that design is not just about aesthetics, it should also be a problem solver: statistically the rolling suitcase is the favourite luggage when at the airport or at the train station but it is an obstacle in the first/last mile of a journey, micromobility is not a viable solution and public transport has a poor commuting experience when travelling with rolling luggage. With a design thinking approach and a problem solving attitude our team has designed this product to be the best travel companion throughout the whole journey.
Our cities are becoming car-free, while cycling and micromobility is spreading around all cities, expecially in Europe. It is time to help travellers commute in a different way when getting around with luggage, bridging the gap between micromobility and long-distance travel. BellBoy®Travelmate together with our other products that will be lauched in the next months are the hardware solution of a wider project: a mobile App is under development that will nudge the modal shift to a more sustainable door2door travel experience. of the environment, resources, and society for nourishing a sustainable future.
