Thank you or buying a Woosh Sirocco 2 electric bike.
Our bikes are mainly named a ter winds or mountains.
The Sirocco is a warm wind blowing across the Sahara — just so
you know!
Please read this manual completely be ore putting your bike to-
gether and riding it. As well as instructions on
assembly and maintenance it also contains essential
in ormation that may a ect your consumer rights.
The Woosh Ethos
Our aim is to supply decent quality electric bikes but at ery
affordable prices.
This ine itably means importing from China, selling direct rather than
through dealers and working on much lower profit margins than many of
our competitors. It also means working hard with our suppliers to
constantly impro e quality and ensure that each bike is checked before
lea ing us - not something all mail order electric bike companies do.
There is howe er only so much we can offer within our price range. We
would for example like our bikes finished to German standards, with e ery
nut and bolt fully tightened, immaculate paintwork and superb
quality plastic on things like handlebars and battery cases. But this alas
would also push the prices up to those of German bikes - starting at
£1800 - which clearly we don’t wish to do.
That said, we are always happy with sensible comments for future
impro ements, so please do email me with feedback, good or bad.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Expectations: please read this be ore riding
Pedalling: E-bikes are designed to be pedalled, with use of the throttle occasion-
ally—to start off, or to help you to ride up a slope. Using the throttle constantly
may damage it and will run the battery down ery quickly, wearing it out within just
a few months.
Speed: Our bikes are designed for sensible use in accordance with UK law. The
motor will power you up to 15.5 mph and no faster, though you can still pedal
harder to achie e greater speeds.
Models: Some of our bikes are more suited for recreational use rather than com-
muting. If you need a bike for commuting, you should consider our chain-dri en
(CD) ersions.
Care: Electric bikes need more regular maintenance than standard bikes. Spokes
and other mechanical fixings need tightening e ery 2 to 3 weeks and tyres need
regular pumping. We also ad ise riding as often as you can. Not riding your bike
for se eral months may cause the motor to seize up and could damage the battery.
Identical bikes: No two bikes are identical, e en if they are the same model and
purchased at the same time. One may be a little quicker or one motor may be
quieter than another.
This is normal. Please make allowances.
Hill climbing: If you are hea y, ha e steep hills or both, you may ha e difficulty
getting uphill, and in extreme cases the bike may not get you up at all. The motor is
limited by law to 250 watts and there is only so much it can propel up an incline.
Call us for ad ice before you ride.
Distance and per ormance The distance you can co er on a
single charge will ary significantly. It is affected by your weight, how much effort
you put in, hills, headwinds, traffic etc. The bike may cut out on steep hills and the
battery will cut out when
exposed to extreme cold.
Paint quality: please see o erleaf
Costs: we ask you to contribute towards costs when returning the bike or a part
for repair and additional costs apply if you take your bike abroad (see later).
I you are not happy with any o the above, please do not ride your bike. Call
us to arrange return and a re und.

Returning a bike — please read be ore riding.
If you ha e purchased at a store, or ha e tried a bike at a store and then had one sent to
you, you are not a mail order customer. We will only refund you for the bike if it has a seri-
ous fault within the first 28 days. We will not refund you if you simply change your mind
after a few days.
Mail order purchasers: A bike will be refunded if returned within 14 days if unsuitable or
28 days if faulty. The bike MUST be packed in an identical way to that in which it arri ed to
a oid damage during return transit. We will email or post you instructions on how to do
this as it is not straight forward. After 28 days, if faulty the bike will not be refunded but
repaired and returned back to you.
Sending your bike back: you can send your bike back by using your own courier or you
can call us and we will collect it.
Costs: returning a bike or a re und
Return by you of a bike unridden within 14 days: refund less £30

Collection by us of a battery for ser icing outside warranty : £30 collection and return fee,
parts at cost, labour £30 per hour.
*Costs will be deducted rom a re und or damage in return transit caused by poor
or inadequate packaging and missing items such as keys.
Paint quality:
An electric bike has around 120 more parts than a standard bike and these are added
after the bike has been assembled and the frame sprayed.
It is ine itable that howe er well trained, factory workers ha e a difficult job trying to a oid
scratching the paint under these circumstances. You may see minor scratches and pin
hole dents. If you are not happy we suggest you pack the bike up and return it for a refund
as we will not able to pro ide a perfect paint finish. Otherwise please call us and we shall
arrange to send some touch up paint if a ailable.

Faults
If your bike has a fault on arri al or de elops a fault during
use, firstly please call us. We can resol e 90% of problems
reasonably quickly by telephone or email and usually by
sending a small replacement part or gi ing sensible ad ice.
Our email address is:

Mechanical wear and tear is not the same as a
manufacturing defect, and things like punctures, chain and
brake adjustments can be dealt with by a bike shop if re-
quired. Mechanical wear and tear is not co ered by our war-
ranty so you will need to pay the bike shop a fee for their
ser ices.
If a se ere electrical fault has occurred and which requires
the bike to be returned (thankfully rare, in less than 2% of
cases currently), we will arrange to collect the bike, repair it
and return it to you. You may need to pay a fee—please
refer to your Terms and Conditions leaflet.
We strongly recommend retaining your carton by folding flat
and storing in a dry area if possible in the rare e ent that you
might need to return the bike. Replacement cartons are £10
and sending one to you will cost £15—so please bear this in
mind.
The Woosh Electric Bike 12 month Warranty
This warranty covers:
Manufacturing defects causing electrical failure within the first year
Manufacturing defects causing major mechanical failure (frame and handlebars) within the first
year
Manufacturing defects causing minor mechanical failure (pedals, spokes etc.) within the first 28
days.
Damage and cosmetic damage (deep gouges, chips, dents and scratches) caused through poor
transit to you.
This warranty does not cover:
Accidental damage caused through collision with an object or person or a s a result of dropping the
bike or the bike falling o er.
Negligence: damage caused as a result of failure to carry out initial and regular safety checks, or
failure to maintain the bike or its parts in accordance with the manual, the recommended rider
weight being exceeded, or allowing weights hea ier than 5Kgs being placed on the rear rack, of
allowing people to ride on the rear rack, excessi e or constant use of the throttle, riding under the
influence of drink or drugs, riding in dusty/sandy en ironments, riding on ery poorly maintained
roads, off road, through deep
puddles or fords, in snow, or with a trailer, riding carelessly or stunt riding.
Consumable parts after the first 28 days: these include tyres, inner tubes, batteries for lights if
applicable, brake pads, bottom brackets, cranks, spokes and pedals.
Minor faults on arri al: loose fixings (nuts, bolts, screws,), loose spokes, loose cables deemed
resol able with minimal inter ention,
Minor cosmetic damage - hairline scratches or barely isible chips, marks or dents.
The warranty period applies to riding within the UK only, is strictly for 12 months and cannot be
extended under any circumstances, e en if you ha e ridden the bike ery little.
This warranty expressly excludes consequential loss, injury or hardship as a result o elec-
trical or mechanical breakdown, accident or collision or as the result o a aulty part. Our
liability is limited strictly to repair or replacement o the bike or o the part.
This warranty is transferable to a second hand purchaser but our Ts and Cs will apply and their
weight should not exceed the limits for the bike.

Transit damage
If your bike appears to ha e suffered damage during transit to
you—for example a chain or mudguard are broken, a wheel is dam-
aged or there are ery deep dents or scratches to the paintwork,
please call us within one working day of recei ing the bike. Failure
to do so may pre ent us from claiming compensation form our in-
surers and thus from making good to you.
Wheel useage:
We occasionally short-road-test a bike (300—400 metres) before
packing. If your tyres show useage it is because of this. Please be
assured that we ne er sell second hand bikes as new.
Using your Woosh electric bike abroad
Please note that whilst you are allowed to use your throttle in the
UK, its use is illegal in Europe. We highly recommend that you use
the red switch to deacti ate it when riding abroad.
Breakdowns abroad: for ob ious reasons, we are only able to co er
the costs of ser icing within the UK. Reco ery of a bike within the
UK, repairing it and returning it back costs us £45, some of which
is borne by customers sometimes and some by us sometimes. See
the pre ious page for details. If your bike breaks down abroad
within the first 28 days of purchase and you wish us to retrie e it,
repair it and return it, we will co er the first £45 of our costs but no
more. If you wish us to send parts to a local electric bike shop or to
you we will co er the first £45 of labour charges and the cost of
sending the parts but no more. If your bike has been purchased
more than 28 days pre iously we will co er the first £15 and no
more. Fewer than 2% of our bikes are
actually returned for ser icing under warranty so a breakdown is
unlikely but you should be aware of this.
Insurance and break down cover:
Whether from us or any other supplier, electric bikes get stolen and
break down. If you are going to be ery highly dependant upon your
bike because you are a commuter or ha e a health problem which
would pre ent you from riding the bike without power, we warmly
recommend you take out roadside rescue. This is a ailable from
Cycleguard from £18 per year, and they also offer insurance.
Visit their website: www.cycleguard.co.uk or call them on

Returns (UK Mainland)
If you do not like your electric bike or find it unsuitable and
have purchased it by mail order, we will refund the pur-
chase price subject to certain conditions. Full details of these
are shown in our Terms and Conditions leaflet, a copy of
which should be under the flap of the carton in which your
bike is deli ered.
If you ha e not recei ed a copy of these, please call us and
we will arrange to send you one. You should not ride the bike
until you ha e read this as it contains important information.
Please note that bikes purchased in store are not able to be
returned if not liked or found to be unsuitable without our
express agreement. If a bike is found to ha e a manufactur-
ing defect and a refund is required it must be returned to the
store within 28 days.
Quality control
E ery Woosh electric bike is taken from its carton and
checked before being despatched. These checks include but
are not limited to the following: checking the electric func-
tions of the bike, checking/adjusting front/rear brakes, adjust-
ing/tightening spokes, tightening cranks, check/adjust gears
to ensure they change smoothly, checking lights, checking
battery etc. We are not usually able to ride the bike before
despatch and you will find after a short time that some things
may need to be adjusted/ fine-tuned.
Please also note that although most aspects of the bike are
checked before despatch, you must also thoroughly check
the bike yourself before riding it to ensure your own safety.
DIY repairs
We sell to users willing and able to maintain their bike to a
good standard or with a colleague or local bike shop able to
do so. Many repairs are simple and can be done with help
from us by telephone or email, with replacement parts sent
free of charge during the warranty period.
If you prefer to get a small repair done by a bike shop please
note that labour charges will not be refunded unless a part
was clearly defecti e on arri al.

The Woosh Electric Bike Warranty
All Woosh electric bikes come with a standard one year
warranty.
Details of this are fully co ered earlier in this manual.
Please read this section thoroughly..
Second hand buyers:
Please note that if you sell your bike second hand, the
balance of the warranty is transferable, but all aspects of our
sales conditions (such as weight and height restrictions) and
all warranty terms will apply to your new purchaser.
If you ha e purchased your bike second hand from one of
our customers, please note that we cannot accept responsi-
bility for the condition of the bike when it is sold to you.
and no refund can be offered to you under any circum-
stances. We will do our best to support you as a second
hand purchaser but this may be limited at our discretion.
Cleaning and oiling:
Make sure your chain is kept oiled.
We specify stainless steel fixings throughout our bikes but
occasional fixings such as clamps or rings may be chrome
and may rust. Applying rust treatment to these at an early
stage will preser e the life of the bike.
Washing: we ad ise against ‘hea y’ washing or using a hose
or power washer. As water may enter connector points and
damage the electrics. We ad ise simply using a damp cloth
and wiping dry afterwards.
Always take care when cleaning mud or debris from the
underneath of the bike not to dislodge cables or connectors.
Important Sa ety Notice
Woosh Bikes Ltd checks all bikes before sale for electrical
and mechanical functions.
Although our procedures are strict and our checking is
thorough omissions or o ersights can ne ertheless occur.
We strongly ad ise you to carry out your own mechanical
checks before riding to ensure the full safety of your bike.
These include:
• Checking that the brakes are set correctly and work
properly
• All wheel nuts, major fixings, spokes and cranks are
fully tightened. We ad ise that you then apply Thread
Lock and repeat this e ery two to three months.
• Wheels are aligned.
• Pedals, saddle and handlebars are fully tight and
secured after installation.
If you are not experienced with bikes a local bike shop will do
this for you for a small charge.
These checks , including Threadlocking, should be repeated
after the first month and regularly thereafter to ensure your
safety.
Please note that failure to carry out these checks to your
complete satisfaction could result in serious injury for which
Woosh Bikes Ltd will not be held liable.

Unboxing and preparing your bike or use
Two people are needed when lifting/mo ing the carton and
also for remo ing the bike from the carton.
Your Woosh electric bike comes mostly assembled, but to
allow the bike to be flat-packed, some parts of the bike re-
quire a small amount of assembly to be completed. This
manual assumes you are reasonably competent with basic
tools and are able to cope with the maintenance of a bike
generally. If this is not the case, then you should seek assis-
tance from either a local bike specialist or an otherwise
suitably experienced person.
You are responsible for the correct assembly and on-going
maintenance of your bike. Woosh Bikes Ltd. accepts no re-
sponsibility for any incidents that may arise as a result of
bikes which ha e been poorly assembled/maintained by the
end user. This booklet must be read in its entirety and all
included steps must be completed to ensure trouble-free and
safe operation of your bike.
Keep the carton upright, remo e the shipping straps and cut
the tape seals. Lift the bike out of the carton with the aid of a
second person and lean it against a sturdy surface/wall. It is
essential to retain the carton as it will be required if the
bike needs to be returned for any reason in the future. If you
do not keep your carton, but find that you need to return the
bike in the future, a carton can be shipped to you at a cost of
£15.
Sa ety warnings:
Do not allow anyone under the age o 14 to ride the bike.
Never allow a small child to ride on the rear carrier. Their
legs or eet could get trapped in the wheel
mechanism resulting in serious injury.
Wear appropriate sa ety pads/helmet.
Always ride more slowly and brake more gently in the
wet.
Other warnings:
Do not ride the bike if you are o er the weight limit for the
model you ha e chosen.
Do not bump the bike up and down kerbs.
Slow down when riding o er bumpy/rough surfaces.
Do not use the throttle on full constantly.
It is illegal to use the throttle in mainland Europe.
Always obser e the highway code.
Do not ride through deep puddles or in snow.
Maintenance warnings:
Always ensure that power is switched off when performing
maintenance on the bike. If you are performing maintenance
on any of the electrical components on the bike, remo e the
battery completely before you begin.
Pay special attention to the “Maintenance” section of this
manual. It contains information that will help keep you safe
and prolong the life of your bike. Failure to keep your bike
maintained could result in safety issues for which Woosh
Bikes will not be held liable. You may also oid your
warranty if you do not take proper care of your bike.
Your bike should be stored in a cool dry location. In the win-
ter, you should ensure that the battery is not exposed to ex-
treme cold as this will shorten its life. If the bike is not going
to be used for long periods, you should gi e the battery a
half-hour charge e ery few weeks.

IMPORTANT:
LOOK AFTER SPOKES, TYRES AND KEYS!!
The motor ibrations on an electric bike cause the light
weight fixings used, and also spokes to become loose more
quickly than on a standard bike. If hea y duty fixings such as
those on a motor bike were used, this would add considera-
bly to the weight of what is essentially a bike. If you lea e
them, you will damage your wheel and possibly ha e an ac-
cident too. So please read the following:
Your spokes will ha e been checked before despatch, but if
you ha e a look, you will find some less tight than others.
This ariation ensures the wheel is straight (or ‘trued’). If all
the spokes were equally tight, or all ery tight, the wheel
would not be straight.
In future, check your spokes regularly, e ery two or three
weeks if you ride daily, or once e ery couple of months if you
only ride occasionally. We sometimes supply a spoke key
(small round metallic de ice) in with the battery charger.
If not, we can send you one for £4 incl postage.
How to check? Lightly ‘ping’ each spoke like a harp string
with your index finger. If it feels ery loose insert the spoke
key onto the nipple of the spoke in question, using gauge
number 13. The nipple is the metal connector at the base of
the spoke where it joins the wheel rim. Gi e it a quarter turn
or so. Don’t o er-tighten the nipple as the spoke may then be
too rigid and snap during riding.
You can also gi e your wheel a quick isual check by spin-
ning it and making sure the brake pads are equal distances
from the wheel when it spins and that it seems to spin in a
straight line. Get someone to help hold the bike if necessary.
Also check and pump up your tyres regularly—the same time
as a spoke check is good.
Lastly, separate all your keys and keep them in a sa e
place. We do not hold spares here.
Cut the cable ties and detach any/all items that ha e been
secured to the bike and then remo e the remaining packag-
ing materials, taking care not to scratch the paintwork.
Handlebars:
Take care not to pull or stretch the handlebar cabling
during installation.
Slide the handlebar stem into the frame at the desired height
ensuring that the handlebars line up correctly with the front
wheel and then ully tighten the allen bolt to secure the
stem in position as shown below. The clamp on the top side
of the assembly is used to adjust the rotation of the handle-
bars - with the clamp up/open, rotate the handlebars to the
desired position and then simply lock in place by closing the
clamp.

Saddle:
The saddle simply slides into position and then the clamp is
used to secure it. To adjust the height of the saddle, simply
open the clamp and position the saddle at the desired height
and then close the clamp to lock the saddle into position. It
may be necessary to tighten the thumb screw a little to en-
sure that when the clamp is closed that the saddle is prop-
erly secured. The seat post may ary from the one illustrated
but, the adjustment is done in the same way.
Pedals:
The pedals fit on a specific side of the bike. Do NOT attempt
to fit the pedals on the wrong side of the bike. The pedals are
marked ‘R’ (right) and ‘L’ (left) to indicate which side of the
bike the pedal should be fitted to. Fit each pedal into position
and hand tighten, then use the 15mm spanner to fully secure
the pedals in place.
Operating the Lights
The Sirocco2 electric bike comes with both front and rear
lights. The front light uses 3x AAA battery (supplied). To turn
on the light (and cycle through the modes), press the button
on the top of the light. To change the batteries or remo e the
light, press the clip at the rear of the light downwards and
slide the light forwards as shown below. To access the bat-
tery compartment undo the small Philips screw on the under-
side of the unit and open the co er as shown.
The rear light uses 2x AA battery (supplied), and is operated
by pressing the button on the top side of the unit. To change
the batteries, reach around the underside of the unit and pull
the clip down/towards you to release the front co er.

Caution & Expectations
Your electric bike is not a motor bike. The electric features
are designed to assist you. This means that riding the bike is
easier than it otherwise would be, but it is not designed to
completely negate the need for effort from the rider. It will
also not cope with extremes.
Riding up slopes will require you to pedal—you will probably
not be able to rely on the throttle alone. On steeper hills, you
will need to pedal but it will still be far easier than it would be
on a standard bike.
Do not use the throttle on full all the time—you will break it if
you do— and a oid une en terrain. Your bike is not designed
to be used off-road.
Riding the bike cont.
Your bike features 7 speed Shimano index shifting gears
which are changed using the thumb selector on the right side
of the handlebars. When the thumb stick is fully extended,
the bike is in first gear (the easiest to pedal). To mo e up
through the gears press the grey (+) button as shown.
To mo e back down the gears, simply push the thumb selec-
tor again.
Now that your bike is fully assembled, you should take the
time to check that all parts of the bike are correctly assem-
bled, tightened, adjusted etc. and functioning properly so that
your bike is safe to ride.
All our bikes are checked before despatch for major
electrical and mechanical functions, but we do not check
e ery single fixing (nuts, bolts, screws). You should spend at
least an hour doing so, in addition to making sure that your
saddle, pedals and handlebars are well secured.
Make sure that crank arms are tight and your brakes are ad-
justed to your satisfaction.
You should also ensure that your tyres are pumped up to
between 35 and 50psi and pump up if necessary.
Lastly, you will need to ully charge the battery be ore
using the bike. Please refer to the next section on how to
charge and maintain the battery.

Charging the battery:
The battery lea es the factory with almost no charge. You
must ully charge the battery be ore use—preferably o er
night. The battery can be charged on the bike, or it can be
remo ed and charged separately. The socket used to charge
the battery is located on the right side of the battery as
shown below. Remo e the weatherproof cap and attach the
charger as shown. Ensure that the charger is switched OFF
at the mains before attaching it to the bike.
Riding the Bike
First switch on the battery using the supplied key, sit on the
bike and then turn on the Control Module.
This bike features both a throttle control and pedal–assist.
You can use either of these features or a combination of the
two.
Throttle:
If this is your first time riding the bike, you should pedal at
least a small distance to ensure that you are balanced before
engaging the throttle. Gradually pull back on the throttle to
engage the motor. You can continue to pedal if you wish.
This will allow you to tra el a greater distance on a single
charge and is the recommended mode.
Pedal Assist:
Pedal-assist basically means that when you pedal, the motor
will kick in and help you on your journey, meaning less effort
for the rider, especially on hills. The amount of assistance
pro ided by the motor can be aried by pressing the ‘mode’
button on the ‘control-module’ and selecting from the low,
medium and high options. It is fairly self explanatory in that
the ’low’ setting gi es the least assistance and the ’high’ set-
ting gi es the most assistance. The default setting is
medium.

Controls and Indicators
The Sirocco 2 electric bike comes with a throttle control to
allow you to ary the amount of assistance from the motor.
The throttle is located on the right side of the handlebars as
shown below. When the throttle is pulled fully, the motor will
pro ide the most assistance. The red button indicated below
enables/disables the throttle feature. This does not affect the
pedal assist feature which is always a ailable when the bike
is switched on.
On the left side of the handlebars is the control module. This
is used to turn the motor on/off and also to increase/
decrease the amount of assistance gi en from the electric
motor. This module also indicates the voltage status of the
battery and is used to switch the front bike light on/off.
The “On/Off” button turns on/off the control module, the
“Mode” button is used to ary the le el of assistance and the
“Light” button is used to turn the front light on/off.
Charging the battery cont...
Do not attempt to connect the charger to the bike when the
charger is already switched on.
On the charger unit is a small light which is red while charg-
ing. This light turns green when charging is complete.
The battery will probably be ery low when you recei e the
bike. You must fully charge it before first use of the bike. De-
pending on how low the battery is (and the capacity of the
battery), it may take 8hrs or more for its initial charge.
After the initial charge, you should keep the battery topped
up as much as possible, this will help to keep the battery in
the best possible condition.
To remo e the battery from your electric bike, use the sup-
plied key to first turn o the battery by turning it anti-
clockwise to the “OFF” position, and then using the same
key, unlock the battery using the mechanism at the base of
the battery as shown.
Once unlocked, lift the handle and then slide the battery from
the bike using the handle as shown.
You will also need to unclamp the saddle to allow the battery
to be remo ed, or if you ha e a flip-saddle, you will need to
rotate the saddle forwards—see o erleaf.

If your bike has the flip-saddle, simply press the release le er
on the underside of the saddle and rotate the saddle for-
wards. This will allow enough clearance to remo e the bat-
tery. For the standard saddle type, simply undo the clamp
and lift the saddle to gain the clearance needed.
To refit the battery, simply slide it back into place, and then
lock the battery in place.
Essential battery care
The Sirocco2 electric bike comes with a modern light weight
high performance 36 olt lithium battery.
If the bike is used ery occasionally and for short trips,
charge the battery two or three times a week. For longer
trips, you should charge the battery be ore each trip.
Do not allow the battery to run completely down.
Important note: the battery indicator on the bike is
only ery approximate and will fluctuate as you go up hills.
Do not charge the battery in extreme cold conditions. The
battery can be remo ed from the bike and charged indoors if
its more con enient. Remember to allow the battery to warm
up to room temperature before charging.
If the battery is not in regular use, try to keep the battery half
to two thirds charged and store in a cool dry location. To
keep the battery in the best condition while stored, gi e it a 2
hour charge once a month or so.
This will slow the ageing process of the battery.
When the bike is to be put back into ser ice, charge the
battery fully to prepare it for regular use once again.
Do not attempt to open the outer casing of the battery.
Do not attempt to repair the battery.
Keep the battery away from children.
Do not immerse the battery in water.
Ensure the battery is not exposed to temperatures abo e 55
degrees Celsius or extreme humidity.
Do not use the bike in an en ironment where temperatures
are less than –20 or greater than +55 degrees Celsius.
Do not drop, pierce or otherwise damage the battery.
