Siena

The Legend Siena is a great, versatile bike and I genuinely love riding it. It’s marketed as an urban bike, but the thicker, mountain‑bike‑style tyres handle fields, gravel paths and uneven terrain with ease. The pedal assist makes steep hills and strong wind completely manageable, and it’s brilliant for building endurance and stamina as you cycle more. I often take my Siena on trains to explore the coastline — it folds quickly and fits neatly into the corner without getting in anyone’s way. The battery is powerful, with a realistic range of around 90 km (55.9 miles) in mild conditions. It carried me through a 3‑hour ride in very hilly terrain, and still had a little charge left at the end. I also purchased the recommended Laka insurance and the Burg Wachter 200D 16mm Heavy Duty D‑Lock Padlock, which gives me peace of mind when I leave the bike for a quick shop or bathroom break. 100% recommend.

Very nice bike, well made and packed extremely well. Support staff always timely and pleasant. Some issues:- a. For a bike that retails at £2k, it should have a display with it, especially as the control is quite complicated, impossible if you’re colour blind….. b. Missing an ignition lock. c. Claimed range of 90km. Brand new, with battery fully charged the app said range was 39m (62km) and so far is currently looking like 33ish miles (53km) using assist level 2. d. Seat is very nice but too uncomfortable so had to replace with sprung one. e. Centre stand is good but would have preferred simple side stand as less cumbersome. It could also do with a peg (like a motorbike stand to make it easier to use). f. Can’t make front and rear light flash so I’ll need new ones as flashing is far more visible.

Surprisingly well designed proportions for a folding bike. Large enough for driving and compact when folded. The 24 inch wheels run smooth. The drive system is a bit weird as it can "only" follow up on rotational pulses and lacks torque sensing, but it tracks quite well and is fun to drive. The bike feels really fast. I had doubts about the 40Nm torque limit, but at maximum support level it provides intensive support when driving up out of the underground car parking even with our kid on the back... btw, the hauck caress kid seat with its suspension base is not ideal to mount due as the struts are in the way... so it ends up eigther bit too much behind the rear wheel making it less stable when putting the kid in, or ends up just at the drivers seat, as we have it now, where it feels stable, but its very narrow. Nevertheless, we really like the bike and look forward to do more sporty activity finally again. We had received the bike well packed... within few minutes on its stand... the only two things confusing were noise from off-centered mudguard from shipping that could be realigned by hand and squeaking from front axle sealing cap what was easy to solve by adding some oil. Minor stuff... nothing to complain. Well done, legend ebikes
