The 2026 Cyberbikes Centauro rides up to 120 km on a single charge, powered by its 48V 25Ah (1,200Wh) Samsung lithium-ion battery. For most Sydney commuters, that is close to a full working week of riding between charges.
How far does the Centauro actually go on one charge?
E-bike range comes down to one number first: watt-hours. Many popular commuter e-bikes carry 400–500Wh batteries and quote 40–60 km. The Centauro packs a 1,200Wh Samsung battery (UL 2271 certified) paired with an efficient 250W Hentach rear-hub motor — fully NSW-legal, with pedal assist up to 25 km/h. That combination is what stretches real-world riding towards the 120 km mark.
After 10+ years selling, renting and repairing e-bikes in Sydney, our founder Felipe Rodrigues specced the Centauro around one principle: range anxiety shouldn’t exist on a bicycle. Charge it once or twice a week and forget about it.
What affects e-bike range?
No two rides drain the battery the same way. The big factors are:
- Assist level — riding on maximum assist all day can halve your range; mid assist is the sweet spot.
- Load — the Centauro carries up to 150 kg (rider + 50 kg rear rack), and heavier loads use more power.
- Hills and headwinds — climbing out of the Inner West towards the North Shore costs more than a flat run along the Bay.
- Stop-start traffic — every takeoff from a red light draws peak power.
- Tyre pressure — soft 26 x 2.4″ tyres add drag; check them weekly.
What does 120 km look like in Sydney?
| Round trip from Leichhardt | Approx. distance | Trips per charge |
|---|---|---|
| Sydney CBD and back | ~14 km | ~8 |
| Bondi Beach and back | ~28 km | ~4 |
| Parramatta and back | ~34 km | ~3 |
In other words: a Monday-to-Friday CBD commute on one charge, with battery to spare for a weekend ride.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the range of the Cyberbikes Centauro?
Up to 120 km per charge from its 48V 25Ah (1,200Wh) Samsung lithium-ion battery. Real-world range depends on assist level, terrain, load and tyre pressure.
Does riding on high assist reduce e-bike range?
Yes. Maximum assist can roughly halve your range compared with mid assist. In NSW, pedal assist cuts out at 25 km/h, so mid assist on flat routes is the most efficient way to ride.
Can I test the Centauro’s real-world range before buying?
Yes — come in for a test ride at Cyberbikes, 281 Parramatta Road, Leichhardt, Tuesday to Saturday, and see how it handles your actual commute.
