The Gallego from Woosh
he Gallego is a folding bike which is ideal for the city and for taking on the underground. It has a 7.5Ah
battery which is good for approximately 20 miles range in ideal conditions. If you rely heavily on the throt-
tle and do not put much effort in yourself, then the battery will run down more quickly and the distance
able to be travelled on a single charge will be reduced accordingly.
he Gallego can be used on roads and cycle paths, it is not suitable for off-road use and should not be
used in competition events. It should not be used for jumping, stunting or aerobatic activities and should
not be ridden through deep puddles or fords. Incorrect use of your bike could result in injury and will void
your warranty.
You must be a minimum of 14 years of age to ride an electric cycle in the UK
Before you ride your bike, and for your ongoing safety, familiarise yourself with the “user manual” and
the “maintenance manual”. here are many components on the Gallego, and it is critical that they are
checked regularly and maintained where necessary. Details of how to maintain the various aspects of your
bike are included in the “maintenance manual”.
If you have any issues which are not covered by the manuals, it is likely that you would need to enlist the
help of a professional. Many people don’t have a complete set of tools for maintaining a bike, so things
like adjustments to the bottom bracket will need to be done by your local bike dealer. You should enlist
the help of your local dealer whenever something needs adjusting that you are not able to do yourself.
Your safety is paramount, so you must ensure that the bike is properly maintained, if in doubt, consult
your nearest bike dealer.

Important Safety Notice — please read
Your bike has had a full electrical check before despatch.
It has also had a general mechanical check, but you need to ensure yourself that when you complete the
assembly of your bike, that you also check the whole bike over before riding it.
You should be prepared to do this yourself, or if you are not sufficiently experienced, ask a local bike shop
to do this for you. A typical fee for this would be around £35
A full inspection should include (but is not limited to):
• Checking that the brakes are set correctly and work properly.
• All nuts, bolts, major fixings, spokes and cranks etc. are correctly tightened.
• Both wheels are properly trued
• Headset/stem properly adjusted
• Cranks are tight
• Bottom bracket properly adjusted
Pedals, saddle and handlebars are correctly fitted and properly secured.
See the maintenance manual for how to adjust and maintain the various components of the bike.
Please note that failure to carry out these checks properly could result in serious injury for which Woosh
Bikes Ltd will not be held liable.
If you have any doubts about your own ability to perform the necessary checks, we strongly recommend
you visit your local bike shop and pay their fee. If you are unable to take your bike to a local bike shop
there will almost certainly be a mobile bike technician in your area who will come to your home or office
and do this for you.

Unpacking:
wo people are required to unpack the bike.
Stand the carton upright as shown.
Remove the shipping straps, cut any tape seals and then remove all of the polystyrene packaging.
Keep the carton/bike in the upright position, and then lift the bike out of the carton and then lean it
against a sturdy surface. DO NOT destroy the carton as it will be required if the bike needs to be returned
for any reason in the future.
Once the bike is out of the box remove all of the remaining packaging. Slide the handlebars into the frame
and close the clamp to secure them in place (you can adjust the height later). You will need to slide the
handlebars in place with the stem pointing downwards towards the ground, (see above right) this is be-
cause the cables will not allow you to fit the handlebars into the stem when it’s in the upright position.
Once the handlebars are in, close the clamp to lock them in position and then rotate the handlebars up-
wards into the normal riding position and secure them in place.
Rote the clamp upwards as shown above, and then rotate the black retainer clip around until it sits with
the space on the clamp lever. Now fit the seat post in place and close the clamp to secure it in position. It
may be necessary to tighten the clamp using the thumbscrew and then close the clamp again. Repeat as
necessary until the clamp is sufficiently tight and the seat post is fully secure. Ensure that the post is not
inserted too far, it should not poke out of the frame at the bottom.

Folding/Unfolding
Roll the wheel forwards keeping the handlebars pointing away from the rear section of the bike. Continue
until the frame is fully unfolded i.e. the frame is straight (or as straight as it can be without the clamp en-
gaged).
Hook the smaller part of the clamp over the lip of the frame and then close the clamp. Finally side the
black retainer into position to complete.
o complete the unfolding of the bike, simply pull the rear wheel back and upwards as shown below.
Once the wheel is in position lift the bike slightly and ensure that the wheel has locked in position Do
not ride the bike without first checking that the locking mechanism is engaged

Folding/Unfolding cont…
he locking mechanism is located just rearwards of the rubber stopper—see photo below. o release the
locking mechanism when you wish to fold the bike, simply push it forwards towards the front of the bike
and then fold the rear wheel fully underneath. You can stand the bike in this position and it will stay up-
right resting on the trolley wheels.
Folding the rest of the bike is simply a case of reversing the steps demonstrated earlier in the manual. En-
sure that all of the clamps are sufficiently tight, this includes the seat post clamp and the handlebar
clamps. here are three clamps related to the handlebars, these are: the clamp which allows you to adjust
the height of the bars, the clamp that allows you to rotate the bars, and also the clamp that secures the
stem in the upright position, you must ensure that each of the clamps is properly tight and/or engaged
before riding the bike—see photos below showing these areas
With the bike folded, you can lean the bike over on the rear rack and wheel it around on the trolley
wheels using the saddle as the handle.

Charging/locking the battery:
he battery may not leave us fully charged. You should fully charge the battery before using your bike
he battery can be charged on the bike or it can be removed and charged separately. o access the charg-
ing socket, you will need to fold the bike, see photo below-left for the location of the socket. Ensure that
the charger is switched OFF before attaching the charger to the bike
o charge the battery, connect the charger to the socket and then plug the other end into a regular mains
socket. On the charger is a small LED which is RED while charging. When charging is complete, this light
will turn GREEN.
he battery can be removed from the bike and charged in a convenient location such as in your home or
office. o remove the battery from your electric bike, pull the metal handle down and then use this han-
dle pull the battery from the bike. A full charge can take up to around 6 hours.

Important:
Although our bikes are checked prior to despatch, you must fully inspect your bike again yourself before
riding it, and satisfy yourself that it is correctly assembled and safe to ride. If you are not absolutely sure
about any aspects of your bike, you should take it to your nearest bike shop to have it checked before rid-
ing it. Obviously the bike shop will you charge for this service. Woosh Bikes not reimburse you for these
costs.
Before riding your bike, perform the checks and set up your bike as outlined in the maintenance manual.
Check that all fixings and major components are tightened sufficiently. Check that all nuts, bolts, rear car-
rier fixings, handlebars and seat-post/saddle are also sufficiently tightened.
You must also ensure that your brakes are working correctly before you set off. If you are unsure how to
adjust your brakes yourself, see the included maintenance guide. here are also guides on our website to
help you various tasks. If you prefer, you can have your local bike shop adjust them for you. he brakes
are the same as you would have on a regular bike and so any bike shop should be able to adjust them for
you. You would obviously have to pay them for this service.
See the preparation/maintenance manual for details on how to adjust/maintain your bike and its compo-
nents.

Riding the bike
o begin using the bike, then press (and hold) the red button to switch on the control panel. he bike is
now effectively on, and if you ride it in this state, the motor will provide assistance when pedalling and
you will also be able to use the twist-grip/throttle if you wish. o vary the amount of assistance provided
by the motor, use the ‘MODE’ button to cycle through the assistance levels. he available modes are low,
medium, high and off. o switch the bike off, simply press AND hold the middle button again.
Important note about the maximum speed. You may not reach the maximum speed on throttle alone.
he motor will only assist you up to 15mph. hough of course you are free to pedal as fast as you like, be-
yond 15mph if you wish, but the motor will not help you beyond the 15mph limit. his limit is in accor-
dance with current UK law.
he twist-grip is located on the right side of the handlebars as shown below. o enable the twist-grip, flick
the red switch to the ‘On’ position. With this switch on, you will have both the pedal-assist and the throt-
tle features available. With this switch in the ‘Off’ position, you will only have pedal-assist. he more the
throttle is twisted, the faster the bike will go, but obviously not beyond 15 mph.
he twist-grip cannot be used to perform a standing start, you should pedal a few metres and then en-
gage the twist-grip if required.
he three LED’s across the top of the con-
trol panel indicate the status of the battery.
You should ideally charge the battery when
just one of the LED’s goes off.
!!! WARNING !!!
This bike features a low-speed walking
mode which is activated by pressing and
holding the ‘Mode’ button Be careful not
to activate this by mistake when attempt-
ing to turn off the bike
