Centauri SE is everything riders have loved about Vvolt's perfectly balanced commuter bike and more. Vvolt added a new higher-capacity battery to boost the range up to 60 miles, a higher-torque motor to summit big hills in turbo mode, and improved rear wheel and accessory fittings. Vvolt also added more braking power, more durable tires, an easier-to-use display, and integrated lighting.
So what did Vvolt keep? It still has 28mph top pedal-assist speed, the amazing Enviolo internal rear hub transmission, our custom geometry for great handling, and of course the silent and maintenance-free Gates CDX belt drive.
The most natural (e)bike
Lightweight, powerful, and versatile, the Centauri SE refines Vvolt's winning formula with their most-requested upgrades. Instantaneous yet smooth power delivery coupled with superb handling and maneuverability makes the Centauri a joy to ride.
New powerful motor
Vvolt's new 350w Ananda mid-drive motor boasts up to 120nm of torque, making for amazing climbing performance. This power boost allows riders to use lower settings for normal riding, reserving the top pedal-assist levels for the steepest roads.
Bigger dual-tone battery
Centauri SE gets up to 60 miles of range with the 490Wh battery, plus it's UL-2271 tested for peace of mind.
Integrated lights
Bright front and rear lights are wired into the main battery. With bright LEDs and advanced mirrors and reflectors they use minimal electricity to provide maximum visibility so you can run them all the time without worry.
Belt Driven
The Gates Carbon Drive belt lasts over 4x longer than a chain, and never needs oil, delivering smooth and quiet power to the pedals for thousands of miles. It's not a Vvolt if it doesn't have a belt drive!
Reliable Stopping Power
Tektro hydraulic disc brakes run 180mm rotors for safe stopping in any weather at any speed, with the most common pad standard on the market for simplicity when it comes time for a fresh pair.
Find your perfect fit
Vvolt recommends you compare your inseam measurement, taken wearing shoes you are likely to ride in, to the stand-over height of our various models. As long as you've got around 1" of clearance over the top tube you'll likely be good to go! If you're on the cusp between sizes Vvolt generally recommends sizing up!
