Big ride. Small fold.

Always with you. Never stolen, never left behind.

Moves seamlessly from street to train to office

Rides like a full-size bike—thanks to its signature triangle frame

All the comfort and cargo versatility of a big bike, in a compact form

The best ride in the city.

Most folding bikes have a single tube cut through the middle, which makes for a wobbly ride.

Max breaks free from the norm with its patented design: the double triangle offers superior agility and rivals any full-size bike. Laser-cut, TIG-welded, and hand-built in Brussels for strength that feels effortless.

The smallest fold on the market.

The smallest fold on 20-inch wheels - and it's only 14kg!

Compact, agile, comfortable, Max stays convenient in all situations.

Highly crafted,
Detail oriented.

From the frame to the componentry and accessories, our engineers curated a premium riding experience that remains light and accessible.

What our riders say

Trusted by the best

"When I unpacked it two weeks ago, I wondered whether the Ahooga A-Max's rating would ultimately be better than that of my previous test winner (...). And lo and behold, the Ahooga A-Max is my new test winner among folding bikes (without motor)."

Klapprad Klemens

Folding bike expert

"In terms of its intended use, we attest to the Ahooga A-Max's versatility. Unlike most other bikes in our test, it's not "just" a folding bike, but can be considered a fully-fledged bicycle for all body sizes and weight classes. "

Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

Expert consumer guide

"Comfort, agility, great range especially with the extender for longer adventures. Comfortable for riders of all heights."

Martin

@martinsbike

"It is a very practical bicycle that is pleasant to use on a daily basis."

S. V.

Max rider

"Because it is the most beautiful foldable electric bike there is on the market and it is Belgian."

V. P. - Brussels

Max rider

"I am totally happy with it, and though at the beginning I thought it was a bit long I think its design is what makes it robust and stable but easy to manoeuvre."

S. P.

Max rider

"Sensation of freedom, to be able to take it almost everywhere."

S. W.

Max rider

"The bike took me on multiple 50+km journeys, including traversing the rocks and roots of the Ardennes, the sands of Dutch beaches, or the cobbles of old towns in central Europe. It even sat with me on a boat while I paddled down multiple rivers. And it takes me to work almost daily, too. I am a fan!"

J.S. - Brussels

Max rider

"I would recommend this bike to anyone looking for a commuter bike that pairs well with public transportation."

M.

Max rider

"Great commuter bike!"
