Note that both braking effect and tire
grip can be reduced drastically in wet
conditions. Look well ahead when riding
on wet roads and go well below the speed you
would ride at in dry conditions.

A lack of practice when using clipless
pedals or too much spring tension in the
mechanism can lead to a very firm con-
nection, from which you cannot quickly step out!
Risk of an accident!

In case you had a crash with your
CENTURION bike, perform at least the
check described in the chapter “Before
every ride“. Ride back very carefully by taking the
shortest route possible, even if your CENTURION
bike went through this check without any prob-
lems. Do not accelerate or brake hard and do not
ride your pedelec out of the saddle. If you are in
doubt, have yourself picked up by car, instead
of taking any risk. Back home you need to check
your CENTURION bike thoroughly once again.
If you are in doubt or if you have any questions,
contact your CENTURION dealer!
