  • Page 1 Sirocco Big Bear Manual It is imperative that you read this manual be- fore attempting to use your electric bike for the first time. It contains important information regarding your safety, the correct use of the bike, essential maintenance and battery care.
  • Page 2 Thank you for buying a Woosh Sirocco Big Bear electric bike. Our bikes are named mainly after either winds or mountains. The Sirocco Big Bear is a mountain in New England, US - just so you know! Please read this manual completely before putting your bike together and riding it.
  • Page 3 Expectations: please read this before riding Pedalling: E-bikes are designed to be primarily pedalled, with use of the throttle occasionally i.e. to rest for a short period. Using the throttle constantly will run the battery down far more quickly. 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 achieve greater speeds.
  • Page 4 Returning a bike — please read before riding. If you have purchased at a store, or have 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 serious fault within the first 28 days. We will not refund you if you simply change your mind after a few days.
  • Page 5 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.

Your Woosh electric cycle will come mostly assembled, but to make shipping easier, some parts of the cycle may require a small amount of assembly to be completed before use.
  • Page 7 Please be assured that we never 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 deactivate it when riding abroad.
  • Page 8 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 do them, we strongly recommend you visit your local bike shop and pay their fee.
  • Page 9 Unpacking: Two people are required to unpack the bike. Stand the carton upright as shown. Remove the shipping straps, cut the 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.
  • Page 10 Fitting the torque arm: The torque arm is an additional safety measure which we have included with the Big Bear. If you are only ever going to ride your bike on smooth flat roads then the torque arm is not so critical but we would still recommend that you install it.
  • Page 11 Handlebars: If you haven’t already, slide the handlebar stem into the frame at the desired height, remove the weather- proof cap and then tighten the allen bolt indicated below to secure the stem in position whilst ensuring that the handlebars line up correctly with the front wheel. Once the stem has been secured, you can now fine tune the positioning of the handlebars.
  • Page 12 Seat-post/saddle: The seat-post 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 seat-post at the desired height and then close the clamp to lock it into position. It may be necessary to tighten the thumb screw a little to ensure that when the clamp is closed the seat-post is properly secured.
  • Page 13 Charging the battery: The battery may not leave us fully charged. You should fully charge the battery before using your bike. The battery can be charged on the bike or it can be removed and charged separately. The socket used to charge the battery is located at the left rear of the battery as shown below. Ensure that the charger is switched OFF before attaching the charger to the bike.

  • Page 21 Adjusting the brakes: The Sirocco Big Bear comes with disc brakes both front and rear. These are checked and set up before the bike is dispatched but you must check that the brakes are working properly before you ride the bike.
  • Page 22 Control Module—Advanced The control module has many advanced features and modes, these include back-lit display (for night rid- ing), indicator options for max speed, average speed and current speed, a digital clock and a battery power indicator. It also features a walking mode which is used when you want to wheel/push the bike, this is basically a very low speed mode which is activated by pressing and holding the button marker with a ‘down-arrow’.
