Brussels-based company Ahooga is revolutionizing the world of folding bikes with their latest offering, the Ahooga Max. With a mission to transform people’s perceptions of folding bikes, Ahooga has been dedicated to providing innovative solutions for urban commuters since its establishment in 2017. Now, expanding their lineup of three distinct bicycle models, Ahooga presents the Ahooga Max as their newest and most advanced product.
Crafted in Brussels and built in Anderlecht, the Ahooga Max pushes the boundaries of what folding bikes can achieve. Boasting a robust double-tube frame, this bike prioritizes stability and agility without compromising on stiffness. Its 20-inch wheels strike a perfect balance between maneuverability and control, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable riding experience. What sets the Ahooga Max apart is its enhanced folding mechanism, enabling users to fold and unfold the bike in a matter of seconds with utmost ease. When fully folded, the bike conveniently occupies a mere 73 x 70 x 44 centimeters, making it effortlessly portable and storable.
Unlike many folding bikes, the Ahooga Max can be effortlessly moved around indoors on its wheels without the need to fold down the front wheel or saddle. This feature adds an extra layer of convenience for users, allowing for seamless transitions between commuting and storage. Ahooga recognizes the importance of personalization and offers a wide range of options for the Ahooga Max. With eight original colors and seven two-tone variants to choose from, riders can truly make the bike their own. Additionally, the adjustable stem and saddle enable users to optimize the bike’s ergonomics, ensuring a comfortable and tailored fit.
One notable feature of the Ahooga Max is its integrated lighting system, directly linked to the bike’s battery. This means riders no longer need to worry about USB charging or carrying additional lights. The integrated lighting system ensures a reliable and steady source of illumination, even after sunset, enhancing safety and visibility on the road.
Powering the Ahooga Max is a front-mounted motor, supported by a removable 248 Wh battery ingeniously concealed within the top tube of the frame. In eco mode, riders can enjoy an estimated range of 50 kilometers (approximately 30 miles) before needing to recharge, providing ample distance for urban commuting. The bike is equipped with a Shimano Nexus 7-speed transmission, purpose-built for city riding, allowing for smooth gear shifts and optimal performance. Complementing these features are the Schwalbe Big Apple balloon tires known for their exceptional shock absorption and grip, ensuring a comfortable and stable ride on any terrain or weather condition.
The Ahooga Max comes with a premium price tag of ā¬3,499, roughly equivalent to $3,829 USD. While it may be a more significant investment, the Ahooga Max justifies its premium status with its sleek and attractive design, unparalleled convenience, and advanced functionality. Ahooga continues to challenge conventional notions of folding bikes, offering urban commuters a truly remarkable and refined option for their daily journeys.
