First Steps and First Use

Legend eBikes are delivered largely assembled. Depending on the model, you may need to fit the front wheel and pedals or align the stem before your first ride.

The necessary tools are included. Assembly normally takes 10 to 15 minutes, depending on your experience.

The optional Basic Kit changes the final preparation required for the Etna.

Choose a quiet, controlled area away from traffic, other cyclists and obstacles. Use this first ride to familiarise yourself with the controls and the way your eBike responds.

Lock the battery in place and remove the key before riding. An unlocked battery can move or fall from the bike. Damage caused by riding with an unlocked battery is not covered by the warranty.

An eBike handles much like a conventional bicycle, but it is heavier and may take longer to stop. Start in a stable, balanced position.

Wear suitable safety equipment, including a helmet and reflective items. Glasses and gloves are also recommended. Check the rules that apply where you ride.

• Cycling equipment guidance for Spain
• Road rules for cyclists in Spain

Before you set off, check the following:

• Saddle: Adjust the height so that you feel secure and can control the bike. New riders may prefer a slightly lower saddle so they can place both feet on the ground while seated. Experienced riders can raise it for efficient leg extension, provided they can stop and dismount safely.
• Tyres: Check that both tyres are correctly inflated. See What pressure should I inflate my Legend eBike tyres to?
• Brakes: Test both brakes at low speed. Shift your weight slightly backwards and apply the brake levers progressively. Using the front brake too sharply can pitch you over the handlebar. Excessive braking can lock a wheel and cause loss of control.
• Suspension: If fitted, learn how the suspension responds to braking and changes in weight distribution.
• Mechanical gears: Learn how the gears work before increasing the pedal assistance. This helps you use the motor efficiently. See Can I change gear while the bike is stationary?
• Pedal assistance: Start at a low level and increase it gradually. Use the brakes to control your speed.

Important: The bike can accelerate quickly from a standstill. Make sure the path ahead is clear before you start pedalling.

Complete these checks before riding your Legend Smart eBike:

• Unfold the bike, if applicable.

• Check the handlebar and saddle are secure.
• Check the tyre pressure.
• Test the brakes.
• Check the pedals, chain and gears.
• Check the lights, if fitted.
• Make sure every folding latch is fully closed and locked.
• Switch on your Legend Smart eBike.

You are now ready to ride.

Tool required

Use a 15 mm open-ended spanner.

Steps

1. Identify each pedal. Fit the pedal marked R to the right crank and the pedal marked L to the left crank.
2. Make sure the threads are clean. Apply a small amount of bicycle grease if available.
3. Start each pedal by hand to avoid cross-threading. The right pedal tightens clockwise. The left pedal has a reverse thread and tightens anticlockwise.
4. Finish tightening both pedals securely with the 15 mm spanner. Stop if the pedal does not turn smoothly; forcing it can damage the crank thread.

The handlebar on the Legend Milano can be folded and adjusted as shown below. Before riding, return it to the riding position and make sure the locking mechanism is fully secured.

The following Legend eBike models fold:

• Legend Siena
• Legend Monza
• Legend Etna

Follow the illustrated sequence for your model. Before riding, unfold the bike completely and make sure every latch is fully closed and locked.

Legend Siena

Legend Monza

Legend Etna

1. Open the seatpost quick-release lever.
2. Raise or lower the seatpost to the required height.
3. Close the quick-release lever firmly before riding. If the clamp is too loose or too tight, adjust its tension before closing it.

Never raise the seatpost beyond the minimum-insertion mark engraved on it.

These instructions apply only if your Legend Etna has the by,schulz Speedlifter Twist Pro SDS fitted.

Tool required: 5 mm hex key.

1. Loosen the central stem-angle bolt.
2. Press the bolt in to disengage the toothed locking mechanism.
3. Select the required angle. The adjustment range is −10° to +50°.
4. Let the locking mechanism engage fully. You may need to move the stem slightly so that the teeth align.
5. Tighten the central bolt securely to the torque marked on the component or specified in the correct product manual. Use a torque wrench.

See the official Speedlifter Twist Pro SDS product information and select the matching manual from the by,schulz manuals page. The PDF previously linked here described a different product, the Stem Twist SDS.
