A modern electric Raleigh, sedate and stately.
The Centros’s frame accommodates both centre-mount motor and battery seamlessly. Locked into the downtube to prevent theft, the latter provides plenty of range, but also a fair bit of mass. The motor itself sits in a large clam-shell holster, which is graced with neat looking welds.
With the electrics off, the Centros is quite easy rolling thanks to the mid-drive motor system which doesn’t add any noticeable drag. In fact, with it switched off the Raleigh rides just like a heavier-than-average hybrid. Not only will this help if you find the battery flat, but it should also boost the bike’s overall efficiency.
