Configuration details that matter
- L/XL fit recommendation is 5 ft 8 in–6 ft 4 in. Gates CDX belt drives an automatic three-speed hub; the 30 mm front monoshock differs from a telescopic mountain-bike fork.
- Boost supplies four seconds of assistance while pedaling at 5–20 mph; it is not a throttle. Fenders are included; the pictured rear rack is optional.
- Maker weight is 53 lb with battery, also 50–56 lb by size; exact L/XL mass is withheld. Vvolt’s newer-model 300 lb rider recommendation is not combined payload.
Recall and service checks
CPSC Vvolt/Centauri title checks and bounded maker/support searches found no matching notice for this exact configuration on October 20, 2026. Vvolt has separate legacy bulletins: battery handling for pre-August-2023 MPF mid-drives, and belt-spider installation for affected 2021–2022 Sirius/Proxima bikes. These do not establish applicability to the reviewed Centauri II configuration or clear any individual bike.
[6] Check the individual bicycle and battery identifiers against the current notice and dealer records before purchase.
