MIAMI, July 20, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Crowdfunders are carrying presales of the new Plevo smart luggage past the $200,000-mark on Kickstarter – four times the initial campaign goal.

"To reach this level of support on Kickstarter as we enter our final two weeks is fantastic, and we hope more crowdfunders take advantage of the limited number of early-bird discounts that remain for our this efficient, durable and technologically advanced luggage," said Plevo Founder and CEO Federico Pelatti.

Designed to simplify packing for busy travelers, Plevo features the world's first patented garment hanger system – which solves one of the biggest problems people face when they travel, keeping garments wrinkle-free. With Plevo's vertical hanger system, travelers can ensure their clothes arrive ready to wear – and it makes packing and un-packing much easier, as well.

"International regulators like IATA and EASA have also confirmed that Plevo is compliant with all the regulations because our battery is removable, which makes moving through security checkpoints super easy," Pelatti added.

Travelers face many unknowns with their luggage: including whether their bags will make the weight limit, and where the bags go if the airline loses them.

With its smart dashboard, Plevo is the first suitcase designed to solve both of those problems – offering a digital scale to let travelers know immediately whether their bags will make the weight limits. And featuring GPS location tracking so travelers can track their bag no matter where it winds up during transit.
Additional tech features include a charging port for gadgets, a removable USB battery pack, a Smart Lock feature (with Face ID, Touch ID or Morse Code), connectivity with Plevo's Android and iOS app, removable 360-degree wheels and lightweight, durable, water-resistant materials.

Created for both business or leisure travel, Plevo suitcases are available in three featured-models during crowdfunding – one for carry-on and two for checked luggage.
The largest Plevo model, the UP, contains a patented garment hanger to keep a traveler's best business wear vertical and wrinkle-free during transport. The UP model is 31.4 inches by 19.7 inches by 11 inches, large enough to bring all the essentials and help busy travelers save time packing and unpacking. It also has removable 360-degree wheels, which means no more fumbling with a garment bag in one hand and a suitcase in the other when loading it into overhead airline storage.

The Infinite model is also designed to be checked-in and is a bit smaller than the UP for maximum mobility – measuring 28.3 inches by 17.9 inches by 11 inches (with an expandable textile option that makes the depth 12.5 inches).

The Runner model combines Plevo's best features with the most portability. Measuring 22 by 13.9 by 9 inches, the Runner is small enough to be a carry-on bag. And, again thanks to the removable wheels, it's even more compatible for overhead storage bins.

All three Plevo models are available in silver, red, blue or pink gold, and all offer these features:

▪    Removable USB Battery pack
▪    Smart Lock (Face ID, Touch ID, Morse Code)
▪    Built-in digital scale
▪    Android and iOS app
▪    Distance alerts
▪    Removable 360-degree wheels with separate packaging
▪    Battery with 8.000 mAh

The UP model also includes:

The Infinite model also includes:
▪    GPS location tracking
