Sirocco CD Manual
el. 01702 435566 - E-mail: [e-mail]

Thank you for purchasing a Woosh SiroccoCD electric bike.
Please read this manual thoroughly before riding your bike.
Please also read the separate Terms and Conditions leaflet
which also accompanies the bike, all of which will be rele ant
to a mail order purchase but only some of which will be
rele ant to a purchase made in store.
If you do not ha e a copy of this leaflet please call us and we
shall arrange to send you one immediately.
You should not ride the bike without reading this leaflet first.
If the bike appears to ha e suffered damage in transit—for
example, a mudguard or chain guard are broken, a wheel is
buckled or there are deep scratches, chips or dents in the
paintwork, you must inform us within 24 hours of receipt.
Failure to do this will pre ent us from claiming compensation
from our insurers and thus from making good to you.
Please note that all our bikes are checked before despatch
for mechanical and electrical functions. We do not ride most
bikes, so a problem may only become e ident when you do
so, and we will of course try to resol e this as soon as
possible.
Some bikes are howe er gi en a short random test ride (less
than 200 meters) which may be indicated by some dirt to the
tyres. Please be assured that if your bike is one of these it is
still brand new and not second hand. Our second hand and
new stock are kept in separate locations and second hand
bikes do not normally ha e any bubble wrap to the frame.
Our telephone number is [phone].
OurSouthend office is open Mondays to Saturdays 10—5.
Our Cambridge office is open Mondays to Fridays 9—5 and
Saturdays 9—1.
These times may change and will ary with holidays and at
certain times of the year.

this for you for a small charge.
These checks 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.

Warning:
Two people are required when lifting/mo ing the carton.
Woosh Bikes Ltd will not be liable for personal injury caused
through mishandling.

17—Spares
We keep in stock most parts necessary to maintain your
electric bike—call to order.
Callers are welcome to bring bikes in for repair. hese
may not be done on the same day however and please
note that we do not do servicing on Saturdays.
1-Unpacking
Two people are required to unpack the bike.
Stand the carton upright as shown.
Remo e the shipping straps, cut the tape seals and then re-
mo e all of the polystyrene packaging.
Keep the carton/bike in the upright position, and then lift the
bike out of the carton and engage the stand to keep the bike
upright. DO NO destroy the carton as it will be required if
the bike needs to be returned for any reason in the future.
The SiroccoCD comes almost completely assembled straight
out of the box. Apart from charging the battery, there are only
a couple of steps needed to get your bike ready for the first
ride. Remo e the remaining bubble-wrap/packaging from the
arious parts of the bike and then slide the handlebar stem
into the frame. You will need to release the clamp to allow
the handlebars to be rotated to a oid pulling/stretching the
cables—see below.

2-Handlebars
Slide the handlebar stem into the frame at the desired height
and then tighten the allen bolt to secure the stem in posi-
tion as shown below. Ensure that the handlebars line up cor-
rectly with the front wheel. The clamp on the top side of the
assembly is used to adjust the rotation of the handlebars -
with the clamp up/open, rotate the handlebars to the desired
position and then simply lock in place by closing the clamp.
3-Pedals
The pedals are designed to fit on a specific side of the bike.
Do NO attempt to fit the pedals without first checking
which side of the bike the pedal is meant for. The pedals
are marked with ‘R’ and ‘L’ to indicate which side of the bike
(right or left) the pedal is for. Fit each pedal into position and
hand tighten. Once each pedal has been tightened nearly all
the way in by hand, use a 15mm spanner to fully secure the
pedals in place.
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:
[e-mail]
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.

16-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 for mechanical and electri-
cal functions. We do not normally ride the bike before it is
despatched, so 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 who ha e someone who can help with
maintenance. Most repairs are simple and can be done with
help from us o er the phone or by email. Replacement parts
are sent free of charge during the warranty period.
If you prefer to ha e your repair done by a bike shop, contact
us before going ahead as the refund of labour costs is sub-
ject to terms and conditions.
4—Charging the Battery
The battery may not lea e us fully charged. You should
fully charge the battery before initial use. 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
under the left rear of the battery as shown below. Ensure
that the charger is switched OFF before attaching the
charger to the bike. You should keep the battery topped up
to get the best out of it.
To charge the battery, simply connect the charger to the
socket and plug the other end into a regular mains socket.
On the charger is a small light which is red while charging.
When charging is complete, this light will turn green.
The battery can be remo ed from the bike and charged in a
con enient location such as home or office when the bike is
not in use. To remo e the battery from your electric bike, use
the supplied key to unlock the battery by turning it anti-
clockwise. Once unlocked, slide the battery from the bike
using the handle at the rear of the battery.
A full charge from flat can take up to 10 hours.

to gi e a rough guide as to how much power remains in the
battery. Press the small button shown below. The more
lights illuminated, the more power remains.
15-Warnings
Do not allow anyone under the age of 14 to ride the bike.
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.
Wear appropriate safety pads/helmet.
Always ride more slowly and brake more gently in wet
weather.
Do not ride the bike through deep puddles or in snow.
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 when not in
use. In the winter, you should ensure that the battery is not
exposed to extreme cold as this will shorten the life of the
battery. If necessary keep your battery indoors, and if the
bike is not going to be used for long periods, recharge your
battery for around 20 to 30 minutes e ery two to three
weeks.

14- he Woosh Electric Bike Warranty
All Woosh electric bikes come with a standard one year
warranty.
Details of this are fully co ered in our separate Terms and
Conditions leaflet. If you ha e not recei ed this, please call
us.
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 suggest 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.
8 – Battery Care
The SiroccoCD electric bike comes with a modern light-
weight high performance 36 olt 10AH lithium polymer bat-
tery.
Some care is needed to get the best possible performance
from the battery. Assuming the bike is in regular use, charge
the battery once or twice a week as needed. Do not allow the
battery to regularly run completely down as this will shorten
the lifespan of the unit.
Do not charge the battery in extremely cold conditions i.e.
below 6 degrees. The battery can be easily 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 keep it in a cool dry location. If you
are not using your bike for a while, gi e the battery a half-
hour charge e ery two weeks. This will slow the ageing proc-
ess of the battery. All batteries age, but the abo e steps will
help the battery to last for as long as possible.
When the bike is to be put back into ser ice, charge the bat-
tery fully to prepare it for regular use once again.
General care:
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 –5 or greater than +45 degrees Celsius.
Do not drop, pierce or otherwise damage the battery.

9—Controls and Indicators
The Sirocco CD 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 throttle feature is enabled/
disabled by the red button as indicated below.
Mounted on 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 motor. This module
also indicates the current status of the battery.
To turn the control module on/off, press and hold the MODE
button (the middle button) as indicated abo e. The functions
of the control module will be co ered in more depth later in
the manual.
12—Adjusting the Brakes
The Woosh Sirocco CD comes equipped with disc brakes on
the front and ‘V’ brakes at the rear . For instructions on how
to adjust your brakes, see the support section of our website
at www.wooshbikes.co.uk
If you are unsure about any of the adjustments that you may
need to make to your bike, take your bike along to your local
bike shop where they should be able to assist you.
13-Essential Maintenance.
he Sirocco CD is a low maintenance bike. It is however
essential to carry out some maintenance regularly and thor-
oughly.
If you do not know how to carry out this maintenance your-
self, you should ha e your local shop regularly check your
bike.
Your spokes should be checked regularly as outlined
earlier.
Check and tighten all fixings as outlined earlier regularly.
Check brakes and brake pads regularly.
Check that your saddle, handlebars and pedals are well
tightened regularly.
If you feel that one of your cranks has worked loose,
in estigate and take action immediately.
Failure to carry out essential maintenance on a regular
basis could cause injury, for which Woosh Bikes Ltd
will not be held liable.
Please ensure this is done for your own safety.

11–Operating the Lights
To operate the front light and cycle through the a ailable
modes, press the black button on the top of the light, the op-
tions a ailable are Off, On, Flashing.
To operate the rear light, press the button as shown.
The display module also features a back-light which can be
turned on/off as needed. To switch this on press and hold
the “Mode and Up” buttons. Use the same buttons to turn it
off.
10-Riding the Bike
To begin using the bike, press (and hold) the ‘Mode’ button
to switch on the ‘Control Module’. The bike is now effecti ely
on, and if you ride it in this state, the motor will pro ide assis-
tance when pedalling and you will also be able to use the
throttle if you wish. To ary the amount of assistance pro-
ided from the motor, use the up/down buttons to cycle
through the 5 le els of a ailable assistance.
There are se eral other features a ailable on this ‘control
module’ and these will be co ered later in the manual. The
information pro ided so far is just enough to get you up and
running as quickly as possible.
Important note about the maximum speed.
You cannot reach the maximum speed on throttle alone.
You can increase the maximum speed on throttle by setting
the assistance le el to high but to achie e the maximum
speed, you need to use pedal assist mode. Your maximum
speed will be then limited by your highest cadence or by the
motor.
The motor assistance will cut out in one of the two condi-
tions:
1. You reach the maximum legal speed of 15mph (26kph).
2. The current through the controller reaches 14A.

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.
With this particular type of electric bike, you should
change the gears one at a time, waiting until the gear is
properly engaged before changing to another gear.
Most of the time, you will likely use the bike in it’s highest
gear, but to get the most out of your bike on hills, you should
change down to the 3rd or 4th gear BEFORE you start your
ascent.
IMPOR AN :
LOOK AF ER SPOKES, YRES 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 supply a spoke key (small round
metallic de ice) normally in with the battery charger.
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.
These maintenance steps aren’t always needed as often on
a standard bike but they are for an electric bike.
Alternati ely, get your local bike shop to do these things for
you.
