59023EN - Assistance levels
Models and Functioning
Legend Smart eBikes provide assistance starting from 5 km/h when the user is pedaling. If the user is not pedaling, the assistance does not activate. Similarly, if the speed does not reach 5 km/h, the eBike does not provide assistance.
Assistance is automatically cut off upon reaching 25 km/h in all EPAC models (Monza, Siena, Milano, Etna 250W).
For the Etna 500W - non-EPAC model - the speed limit exceeds 25 km/h in assistance level 4 - Custom Level.
Assistance levels
All Legend Smart eBikes have 4 assistance levels, with the first 3 configured and non-editable, and the last one customizable through the My Smartbike app > Motor Maps.
In levels 1 to 3, assistance is delivered progressively based on the eBike's speed, ranging from a minimum of 5 km/h to 25 km/h. The higher the speed, the greater the assistance, up to a maximum determined by the assistance level.
- Level 0: No assistance
- Level 1: Up to 25% motor power
- Level 2: Up to 60% motor power
- Level 3: Up to 100% motor power
- Level 4: Customizable
The assistance levels are displayed differently depending on whether you have the iWoc 5 or the iWoc TRIO+.
You can find more information about their functions in this article: "Do the bikes have a display?"
Customizable level of assistance
Level 4 can be adjusted according to the driver's needs, with two common profiles:
- EXPERT Rider: Typically sets mode 4 as "TURBO," making the eBike deliver maximum power from the start at low speeds.
- PRO: You will get maximum performance from the beginning and quickly reach the top speed.
- CONS: This configuration may cause the eBike to behave very responsively at low speeds, and the battery range may significantly decrease due to the constant delivery of maximum power.
- NOVICE Rider: In this case, even level 1 delivers too much power to the rider once speeds exceed 10 km/h. Additionally, these users prefer to feel the control of pedaling in their legs and apply constant force while pedaling. To configure this profile, assistance levels should be reduced to 0 from 10 km/hr onwards.
- PRO: You will enjoy the feeling of assisted pedaling at the start, and your Legend eBike will assist in getting moving. Later, you'll need to pedal to maintain a certain speed.
- CONS: None; these users prefer a leisurely bike ride to a fast-paced cycling race. Reaching the maximum speed will depend solely on them, as assistance cuts off earlier.
