3. Floh

Floh: Sounds like “Flow” as in Go With the “Flow”. They started off as a kickstarter project around 2012 and 2013 with prototypes of a kickscooter and backpack hybrid. It’s now developed into more of a slim luggage/canvas briefcase/messenger slingbag + kick scooter combination. They are now in the midst of prepping to sell their products on their official website. And have appeared on a trade show at GadgetShowLive 2015:
