8023EN - What is the recommended tyre pressure for my Legend ebike?
The concept of "correct tyre pressure" does not exist.
For bicycle tyres, as for car tyres, there is a recommended pressure range.
This pressure range is usually indicated on the sidewall of the tyre. For our Legend tyres it is usually between 2.0 and 4.0 bar.
For example, for a Schwalbe Big Ben tyre the recommended pressure is 2.0 bar to 4.0 bar when the tyre is cold.
Each user can adjust the pressure to his own taste and driving style. Attached is a summary of the advantages and disadvantages of using high or low tyre pressure.
Remember to check the tyre pressure before each use.
