Product designers just can't seem to leave suitcases alone.

One of the most recent contenders for suitcase-of-the-future is the Olaf Scooter, which can be transformed for multiple uses.

Slovenia-based company Olaf has raised more than $50,000 via a Kickstarter campaign that ends Thursday; its original funding goal was $30,000.

There are two different Olaf Scooter designs: one for urban settings and one for business use.

For Olaf's urban design, the scooter is four products in one: a removable backpack, a trolley, a steerable kick scooter and a wooden skateboard.

The business design -- which is airline approved, according to Olaf -- is a three-in-one "unique solution" featuring a carry-on suitcase, a trolley and a kick scooter.

While it's hard to look professional on a scooter, the Olaf seems at bit more dignified than a suitcase you can ride.

Olaf plans to ship its scooter-suitcase to those who preordered them via Kickstarter, beginning in January 2015.
