What to bear in mind when
transporting your CENTURION
pedelec
By car
CENTURION pedelecs can be transported like con-
ventional bikes outside or inside the car
(a)
. Always
make sure the CENTURION pedelec is securely
fastened outside or inside the car and check the
fastenings regularly. In addition, you should always
remove the battery from your CENTURION pedelec
(b+c)
prior to fastening it outside the car. Stow the
battery and, if applicable, a removable display unit,
inside the car and secure it appropriately to avoid any
damage in transit.
Protect the connections of the rechargeable battery
against rain, wetness, moisture and dirt during the
journey, for example, with a plastic bag.
S
The weight distribution on pedelecs dif-
fers markedly from the weight distribu-
tion on bikes without drive assistance. A
pedelec is markedly heavier than a bike without
drive assistance. For this reason parking, push-
ing, lifting and carrying the CENTURION pedelec
is more difficult. Bear this in mind when loading
your pedelec into a car and unloading it or when
mounting it on a bicycle carrier system.
S
Before transporting several pedelecs
with a roof mounting or a rear mounting
carrier system, inform yourself about the
maximum load capacity of the bike carrier and
the maximum load of the trailer hitch. Keep in
mind that the weight of a pedelec is higher than
the weight of a bike without drive. It could be that
you can only transport one or two pedelecs in-
stead of three bikes without drive.
S
Make sure to remove all movable and
loose parts and above all the recharge-
able battery, if possible, the control ele-
ment and the cycle computer on the handlebars
before transporting the pedelec inside or out-
side the car. If you transport your CENTURION
pedelec without its battery on a bike carrier
system, protect the connections against water,
moisture and dirt, for example, with a plastic bag
(d)
.
U
If necessary, inform yourself about the
laws and regulations concerning bike/
pedelec transport in the countries that
you intend to transit during your journey. The
regulations e.g. with regard to the marking, differ
from country to country.
