Keep in mind that due to the higher
driving power at the rear wheel the risk
of an accident increases with slippery
roads (due to wetness, snow, gravel etc.). This
applies all the more when riding bends. Risk of
an accident!
G
Please note that car drivers and oth-
er road users may underestimate your
speed. Always wear bright clothing.
Therefore, always ride on public roads with this
fact in mind and anticipate the actions of other
road users. Risk of an accident!
G
Keep in mind that pedestrians do not
hear you when you approach at high
speed. Therefore, ride particularly de-
fensive and anticipating when using cycle lanes
and cycle/footpaths to avoid accidents. If neces-
sary, ring the bell
(c)
to warn others.
Do not give in to the temptation to always ride in a
high gear, due to the strong motor. Change gears
frequently
(a)
as you would do on a conventional
CENTURION bike to make your own contribution
to moving forward as efficient as possible. Your ca-
dence should always be in a smooth flow. In other
words, you should pedal at more than 60 crank rota-
tions per minute.
Keep in mind that the other road users are not yet
used to the new pedelecs and their higher speeds.
Ride with this fact in mind and anticipate the actions
of other road users. Be aware that the speed you ride
at will be clearly faster than you are used to. There-
fore, keep these facts in mind and be ready to brake
whenever unclear or possibly dangerous situations
come into your field of vision.
G
Do a test ride in an unfrequented area
(b)
to make yourself familiar with the rid-
ing characteristics of your CENTURION
pedelec and the possibly higher speed and ac-
celeration, before riding on public roads. Risk of
an accident! Never ride without a helmet!
G
Do not step on the pedals before sitting
in the saddle, select the lowest drive
assistance and be ready to brake when
you set off. Risk of an accident!
