Centauri SE is everything riders have loved about our perfectly balanced commuter bike and more. We 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. We also added more braking power, more durable tires, an easier-to-use display, and integrated lighting.
So what did we keep? It still has 20mph 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 our winning formula with our most-requested upgrades. Instantaneous yet smooth power delivery coupled with superb handling and maneuverability makes the Centauri a joy to ride.
Ananda Mid-drive Motor
Unmatched power and efficiency.
The 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.
Enviolo Trekking Transmission
Shift with precision.
We retained Enviolo’s amazing internal rear hub transmission, giving you the ability to dial in your resistance while pedaling. It is entirely mechanical (no battery power used) and the hub is designed to run for thousands of miles without service.
Superior components makes for a better ride .
We equipped the Centauri SE with only the highest-quality components. Not only is it reliable, it is also incredible low maintenance. It's an ebike that pays for itself with every mile.
Belt Drive Beauty
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.
Full color display
The bright, full-color onboard display provides all the information you need at a quick glance. The tilting mechanism lets you position it for full visibility.
Serious 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.
Integrated Lights & Reflectors
Visible from all angles.
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.
Verified Customer Reviews
Two sizes that fits most people.
We recommend 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 we generally recommend sizing up!
Battery System (UL2271 Certified)
Bigger capacity 490Wh removable battery provides up to nearly 60 miles of real world range, depending on terrain, assist level, and other factors.
Enviolo Hub
Way better than derailleur gearing, the Enviolo TK continuously variable transmission hub features a 380% range and never needs adjustment.
Frame
Vvolt custom aluminum stepthrough frame and fork in tow sizes. Front and rear mounts for racks and fenders. Thru-axle front and bolt-on rear for safety and security. NEW! adjustable rear dropouts for easy accessory fitting and simpler tire changes.
Mid Motor
Our custom-tuned Ananda mid-motor pushes out 120Nm of torque at 350W nominal power, with up to 650W at peak output.
Gates CDX Carbon Belt Drive
Carbon reinforced belts from Gates® last longer than chains, operate quietly, and don't require grease -- no more unintentional chainring tattoos!
360° Lighting System
Integrated front and rear lighting system, plus reflective graphics deliver 360º visibility all year round.
Full Color Display
The center-mounted display provides easy to read information, while the left-side remote allows you to change settings without taking your hands off the bars.

Motor assist up to 20mph makes Centauri SE a Class 1 ebike. It's pedal-assist only, and you won't miss a throttle with the powerful torque on tap!
