  • 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 Warning: Electric bikes are heavy and two people are required when lifting/moving the carton. Woosh Bikes Ltd will not be liable for personal injury caused through mishandling. 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 5 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 properly could result in serious injury for which Woosh Bikes Ltd will not be held liable.
  • Page 6 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 7: Front Mudguard

    Fitting the torque arms (if not already fitted): The torque arm is an additional safety measure which we have included with the Big Bear. The torque arms should be fitted to both sides of the bike as shown. Remove the wheel nut and slide the arm into po- sition on the axle and then refit the nut to secure it in position.
  • Page 8 Handlebars: Next, set the handlebar stem at the desired height and then tighten the Allen bolt indicated below-left to secure the stem in position. Ensure 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. The handle- bars can be brought upwards and closer to the rider, simply loosen the bolt on the underside of the stem—see above-right, adjust the position, and then tighten the bolt to secure them in the desired posi- tion.
  • Page 9 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 10 Charging/locking the battery: When the bike is shipped, the battery is sometimes secured with cable-ties instead of being locked with the key. This is done to avoid damage to the battery locking mechanism in transit. Some delivery drivers take more care than others, so by securing the battery in this way, we can prevent this issue from occur- ring.
  • Page 11 Obviously the bike shop will you charge for this service. Woosh Bikes not reimburse you for these costs.
  • Page 12: Battery Care

    Battery care: The Big Bear comes with a modern light-weight lithium polymer battery. Some care is needed to ensure your battery performs at its best and lasts as long as possible. All batter- ies age over time and become less effective, so to ensure you get the most from your battery, follow the instructions below.
  • Page 13 Riding the bike To begin using the bike, press (and hold) the top ‘Mode’ button to switch on the display. The 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 throttle if you wish.
  • Page 14 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 easi- est to pedal).
  • Page 15 If you do not regularly maintain your bike, you may damage the bike and also there are likely to be safety issues for which Woosh Bikes would not be held liable. Please read the following: Your spokes will have been checked before despatch, but if you have a look, you will find some less tight than others.
  • Page 16: Operating The Lights

    Operating the lights: The rear light is already fitted, to operate the rear light, simply press the button on the top of the light as shown below. To change the batteries in this unit, simply reach under the bottom edge and then pull the lower edge of the light rearwards.
  • Page 17: Essential Maintenance

    Failure to carry out essential maintenance on your bike on a regular basis could result in an injury, for which Woosh Bikes Ltd will not be held liable. Please ensure this is done to ensure your own safety.
  • Page 18 Control Module—Advanced The display has many advanced features and modes, these include back-lit display (for night riding), indi- cator options for max speed, average speed and current speed and a battery power indicator. It also fea- tures 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 minus (-) button, this can also be used as a start-aid.
