Riding a CENTURION pedelec
– Special features
Your CENTURION pedelec is designed to be used
like a conventional bicycle. The unique riding expe-
rience, however, starts when you actuate the drive
system
(e)
. At that moment the assistance gener-
ated by the 250 W motor
(f)
increases with its high
torque the stronger you pedal.
Set off for your first ride by selecting the lowest level
of drive assistance. Gradually get used to the addi-
tional power. Slowly approach the potential of your
CENTURION pedelec in an area free of traffic.
Practice typical riding situations such as starting off
and braking, tight corners and riding on narrow cycle
paths and lanes. This is where a CENTURION pedelec
clearly differs from a conventional CENTURION bike.
h
Pulling the brake lever of the rear brake
stops the motor. Emergency stop!
s
Be aware that the brakes of your
CENTURION pedelec are always more
effective than the drive. If you face any
problems with your drive (e.g. because it pushes
you forward in front of a bend), slow down your
CENTURION pedelec carefully.
Riding with drive assistance
The system is switched on and off at the buttons of
the control element on the battery or on the handle-
bars. Furthermore, different assistance modes can be
selected, the remaining capacity of the rechargeable
battery is displayed and the different functions of the
cycle computer
(g+h)
, if available, can be selected.
When switched on, the system activates during ped-
aling and the drive assistance is available. Sensors
measure your pedaling movements and control the
fully automated drive assistance according to the
selected assistance mode. The level of the addi-
tional propulsion depends on the assistance mode,
your speed and, as applicable, the amount of force
applied to the pedals.
The assistance switches off when you reach a speed
of more than 25 kmh.
Keep in mind that you may have to change your
riding habits: Do not mount by placing one foot on
the pedal and by trying to throw the other leg over
the saddle. The CENTURION pedelec would set off
suddenly. Risk of an accident!
Stop pedaling earlier than you are used to before
riding a turn or bend. Otherwise there may be too
much propulsion and your cornering speed may be
too high.
