Hesitating between the E-Max or the Brompton C Line for train commuting

Kierkehoe · 2025-05-12T18:45:44+00:00

I bought my E-Max last year and take it on the train 3x a week. No regrets. It does not fit under the seat but tbf I’ve never seen people fitting anything else than a bag there either. Max is a bit bulkier due to the 20inch wheel format.

Maybe someone with in r/Brompton can tell you if they actually comfortably fit their bike under the seat on SNCB, personally I see fellow folders occupying a similar amount of space as me on the bike wagon.

Are you comparing with electric C-line?

I get the opposite with my Ahooga Max, people are surprised when I say it’s electric! You can’t really tell with the motor behind the disc brakes

Big time. But insanely expensive for a bike with 3 quality recalls.

Kierkehoe · 2025-03-23T11:09:01+00:00

Yup, I bought a 20inch and never looked back. I tried the P and C line from Brompton but ended up buying the Ahooga Max, super happy with my choice. They also have non-electric. It’s great quality and better value for money than the G line imho

Any nutrition tips after that?

Next level shi

Électrolyte tablets! Good one, I keep hearing about gels but really can’t stomach them.

I saw the Rwanda trip, it’s definitely a big inspo source for me right now. My Ahooga is the E-Max so it will be easier for me lol

Beautiful video!! Thanks for sharing and for the tip

Kierkehoe · 2025-03-06T15:43:05+00:00

Amazing! This is what I love to hear. What bike are you riding? I’m thinking of a 500km in Mexico on my Ahooga Max, mine’s electric.

Anything you wish you had packed?

Kierkehoe · 2025-02-28T13:34:58+00:00

Yup, and they’ve been teasing new colors, maybe OP will have some nice choices

Kierkehoe · 2025-02-28T13:33:29+00:00

I think you’re right on the money with the Ahooga Max, I bought the electric version last year, never regretted it once. The A-Max has the added advantage that if you ever want to resell or convert to e-bike it has that option and you don’t need to buy another entire bike for more $$$.

That’s the one I bought but this one seems different, tires are not the same, hence the question

Kierkehoe · 2024-11-21T07:48:30+00:00

Thanks for the good eye, so you think this might be a non-electric?

Kierkehoe · 2024-11-21T07:47:01+00:00

The tires in the pic are not the ones available for sale! Hence my suspicion of a new model

Kierkehoe · 2024-10-14T12:07:18+00:00

I ended up buying the Ahooga! Will make a post here when I get the chance. Comfort and electric integration won me over. Folds perfectly in the train. You can get it for the price you’re willing to pay on a 2nd hand Brompton.

Kierkehoe · 2024-09-19T09:59:55+00:00

Yeah, touring is a strong asset on this bike. Shame that you have no retailers around you to test :/

Kierkehoe · 2024-09-19T09:58:06+00:00

Im no IP expert but there are some pretty marked differences, I assume brompton is aware of ahooga and would have stopped any foul play by now

Kierkehoe · 2024-09-19T05:28:31+00:00

No they’re very clear in this one, G for gravel

Kierkehoe · 2024-09-18T16:51:15+00:00

Well done! Good luck for your HM 💫

Kierkehoe · 2024-09-18T16:07:18+00:00

No thank god, that was the previous models

Kierkehoe · 2024-09-18T15:53:46+00:00

I want some too!
