90 Nm and 800 Wh: New e-bike handles heavy loads and comes with a Bosch motor

While Centurion is a well-known bicycle brand in Germany, it may be less familiar to readers elsewhere. However, the manufacturer's e-bikes are officially distributed in several other European countries and are also readily available through online retailers. Among its latest releases is the Centurion Easy R900, a model designed to make cycling comfortable and effortless. It features a low step-through frame—a welcome convenience for riders with unrestricted mobility, and a major advantage for those with hip issues who need to mount the bike without pain. A dropper seatpost further enhances comfort, though the lack of a suspension fork is likely to negatively impact ride smoothness on rougher surfaces.

The Centurion Easy R900 comes fully equipped for everyday commuting and touring, complete with front and rear fenders, lights, a rear rack, and a kickstand. An Abus Amparo 4750 X frame lock is also pre-installed and can be supplemented with a plug-in chain. The downside of this extensive equipment is weight: at 28.3 kilograms, the Easy R900 is certainly no lightweight. Still, the maximum permissible system weight is rated at 180 kilograms, leaving even heavier riders plenty of payload capacity for luggage.

The integrated battery also contributes to the bike's heft, offering a generous capacity of either 800 or 720 Wh for substantial range. Power comes from a Bosch Performance Line PX mid-drive motor, which delivers up to 90 Nm of torque and provides up to 600 percent pedal assistance. Rounding out the spec sheet are hydraulic Magura MT A2 disc brakes and a 10-speed Shimano Cues derailleur drivetrain. Centurion lists the Easy R900 at an MSRP of €3,799.
