Most regular bikes use 28-inch wheels. Max uses 20-inch wheels, which are generally better suited for urban riding.

First, the center of gravity is lower. That translates directly into more stability and a safer ride in stop-and-go city traffic. You can see the same logic applied across the industry: most modern cargo bikes and longtails have already moved to 20-inch wheels for exactly this reason.

Second, the bike is more dynamic. A shorter wheelbase makes the bike easier to maneuver. Tight turns, weaving through traffic, and navigating crowded bike lanes becomes noticeably easier.

Third, it’s more practical. The smaller format takes up less space, which helps both for storage and for riding in dense urban environments.

Acceleration is also quicker. Smaller wheels accelerate faster, which is particularly useful when riding uphill or when dealing with constant stops at traffic lights.

Finally, Max uses wide 2.4-inch tires. These add a significant amount of comfort and grip, compensating for the smaller wheel size while keeping the ride smooth.

About 95% of folding bikes on the market use a single-tube frame that is simply hinged in the middle to allow folding.

That design is easy to produce, but it comes with clear compromises. A single tube that is broken in half cannot achieve the same stiffness as a full triangular frame. The result is a ride that often feels flexible or unstable. Riders commonly describe it as a “spaghetti effect”: the frame flexes, energy is lost, and stability suffers.

That’s why performance bikes always rely on triangular frame structures. Triangles create stiffness, stability, and efficient power transfer.

Ahooga solved the challenge of combining folding with a triangular structure through its patented double-triangle twin-tube system. The frame keeps the structural advantages of a real bike while still folding into a compact package.

The result is immediately noticeable. The most common feedback from first-time riders is:

“Wow, it rides like a real bike.”

or

“It feels incredibly stable.”

A simple way to experience it is to ride at a decent speed and take a corner. The bike remains extremely stable—often more stable than single-tube folding bikes and even many 28-inch bikes due to the lower center of gravity.

The key point: Max manages to deliver this ride quality without sacrificing compactness. When folded, it remains one of the smallest 20-inch packages available.

Max delivers the ride quality of a full-size bike while eliminating many of the drawbacks.

You can:

- place it easily in your car trunk
- combine it with trains or buses
- store it safely inside your home or office

A traditional bike often requires a garage or outdoor storage. Max folds to the size of a small trolley, making indoor storage easy.

Another advantage is flexibility: the adjustable seatpost and stem allow riders from roughly 1.50 m to 1.95 m to use the same bike with a quick adjustment.

It can easily become a shared family bike.

When folded, Max measures approximately:

- 72cm length

- 69cm height

- 39cm width

This is one of the most compact folded sizes available for a 20-inch bike.

Folding is also extremely quick. The record is under 7 seconds, while most riders fold it comfortably in about 10 seconds.

Max was designed so you can upgrade later.

If you start with the A-Max (non-electric) and later decide you want assistance, your dealer can upgrade the bike to E-Max.

Many riders actually discover that the analog version already delivers plenty of performance thanks to the efficient geometry and riding comfort. But if your needs change, the upgrade path keeps your investment protected.
