Thank you for buying a Woosh Zephyr (2017 Edition) electric bike.
Please read this manual completely before putting your bike
together and riding it. As well as instructions on assembly and maintenance it also contains es-
sential information that may affect your consumer rights.
The Woosh Ethos
Our aim is to supply decent quality electric bikes but at very affordable prices.
This inevitably 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 improve quality and ensure that each bike is checked before leaving us - not something all
mail order electric bike companies do.
There is however only so much we can offer within our price range.
We would for example like our bikes finished to German standards, with every 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 improvements, so please do email me
with feedback, good or bad.
I look forward to hearing from you.

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 suciently experienced, ask a local bike shop
to do this for you. A typical fee for this would be around £35-£45
A full inspecon should include (but is not limited to):
Checking that the brakes are set correctly and work properly.
All nuts, bolts, major xings, spokes and cranks etc. are correctly ghtened.
Both wheels are properly trued
Headset/stem properly adjusted
Cranks are ght
Boom bracket properly adjusted
•Pedals, saddle and handlebars are correctly ed 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 oce
and do this for you.
Visit www.cycletechuk.com for a full naonal lisng.
The type of motor used on this model may become noisier over me, if this is the case, you will need to
periodically send your wheel in to be serviced. The cost of servicing the wheel is £25 plus return postage.
This servicing is not covered by the warranty.
If you need to remove the motor wheel for any reason, you must re-grease the cavity where the cable
enters the wheel, this is to prevent moisture from geng into the motor. Doing this this will extend the
life of the motor and will avoid potenally expensive servicing costs. See the rear of this manual for de-
tails on this procedure.

Unpacking:
Two people are required to unpack the bike. The carton should be kept upright at all times.
Remove the shipping straps, cut the tape seals and then remove any/all loose packaging if any, and then
lift the bike out of the carton, and immediately down to the floor, and engage the kick-stand to keep it up-
right. DO NOT destroy the carton as it may be needed if the bike has to be returned for any reason in the
future.
When unpacking and preparing your bike, be very careful to not stretch, pull or bend any of the
cables. This applies when folding the bike as well, ensure that any cables are not caught in any
way. With the bike out of the box, remove all of the remaining packaging and detach the pedals and
charger box from the bike. This model comes almost fully assembled meaning that there is very little to do
to complete the basic assembly of the bike.
5
Handlebars:
The handlebars just need to be rotated into the correct position and the two bolts indicated below-right
need to be tightened with a 4mm Allen key to secure them in place.
Warning:
It is critical to ensure that the handlebars are properly secured. If they were to rotate or otherwise move
unexpectedly during use, it could result in an accident and/or serious injury. If you have any doubts re-
garding the correct configuration of this part (or any other part of the bike), you should take your bike along
to your nearest bike shop and have them prepare it for you at your cost.
Once the height has been adjusted, the handlebars will likely need to be rotated within the clamp as well.
Loosen the four bolts on the clamp slightly with a 4mm Allen key, rotate the handlebars to the desired po-
sition and then re-tighten the bolts.
Once secured, you can then make some adjustments to suit. The handlebars can be brought upwards
and towards the rider, or lower and away from the rider. To do this you will need to loosen the bolt shown
below-left with a 5mm Allen key. When the handlebars are in the desired position, fully tighten the bolt to
secure them in place.
6
Seat-post/saddle:
To adjust the height of the saddle, simply open the clamp and then 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 on
the opposite side of the clamp to ensure that when the clamp is closed the seat-post is properly secured.
Adjust the thumb-screw as needed, there should be a reasonable amount of resistance in the clamp when
it’s being closed.
Pedals:
Important—the pedals fit a specific side of the bike. If you attempt to fit the pedals to the wrong
side, you will damage the threads on the cranks. Also, if you force the pedals on to the wrong side
of the bike, it is very likely that they will come loose suddenly and unexpectedly.
The pedals can be identified in several ways: L or R is clearly visible on the pedal itself—see below-left. L
or R is also stamped onto the very end of the bolt, see below-right.
There are also grooves present on le pedal, that are not present on the right—see below.
7
Charging/locking the battery:
The battery will likely 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 on upper-left side of the frame towards the front of the bike, as
shown below. Lift the rubber cover to access the charging socket, ON/Off switch and USB socket (for
charging a smart phone or music player). Ensure that the charger is switched OFF at the mains be-
fore attaching the charger to the bike.
If you wish to charge the battery away from the bike, you will need to fold the bike first. To fold the bike,
you first need to lift the black catch—see below left, and then open the clamp—see below-right.
A full charge from flat can take up to around 8 hours. When re-fitting the battery, be careful not to push
the battery in too far, the black end piece of the battery should be flush with the frame. If it is not in the
correct position, you will not be able to lock the battery.
With the clamp disengaged, you can now fold the bike, this becomes easier the more times you do it, the
first few times you may find it a bit cumbersome. The bike folds in half and rests on the foot/plate at the
base of the frame. With the bike folded, you can now access the locking mechanism for the battery. Insert
the key and turn it anti-clockwise to unlock the battery, and then lift the silver handle and use it to pull the
battery from the frame. This should not require significant force, if the battery does not slide out fairly easi-
ly, check that it is properly unlocked before trying again.

Battery care:
The Zephyr comes with a modern light-weight lithium 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, meaning that the range will gradually decrease as the battery gets older, so to ensure
you get the most from your battery, follow the instructions below.
Charge the battery once or twice per week as needed, it is better to keep the battery topped up than to
allow it to run completely flat.
DO NOT charge the battery in extremely cold conditions. If the battery is not in regular use i.e. over the
winter, you should charge the battery for around 10 minutes every two to three weeks. This will slow the
aging process and will help the battery to last longer. When the bike is to be put back into service, fully
charge the battery to prepare it regular use.
General battery care:
Do not attempt to open the outer casing of the battery.
Do not attempt to repair the battery.
Do not immerse the battery in water.
Keep the battery away from children.
Do not drop, pierce or otherwise damage the battery.
Ensure the battery is not exposed to temperatures above 55 degrees Celsius or extreme humidity.
Do not use the bike in an environment where temperatures are below minus 5 degrees Celsius.
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 experienced and/
or are not absolutely sure about any aspects of your bike, you should take it to your nearest bike shop to
have it checked before riding it. Obviously the bike shop will you charge for this service. Woosh Bikes will
not reimburse you for these costs.
Before riding your bike, check the tyre pressures. The tyres should be inflated to approximately 50psi.
Check that all fixings and major components are tightened sufficiently. Check all nuts, bolts, rear carrier
fixings, crank-bolts, handlebars and seat-post/saddle etc.
You must also ensure that your brakes are working correctly before you ride the bike. If you need to ad-
just your brakes, refer to the “maintenance manual” that came with the bike. If you prefer, you can have
your local bike shop adjust them for you. The brakes are similar to those you would find on a regular non-
electric bike and so any bike shop should be able to adjust them for you. You would obviously have to pay
them for this service.

Riding the bike
Ensure that the master-switch on the battery is in the ‘ON’ position, see below-left. Then press (and hold)
the middle button on the display for a second or so. Press (and hold) the same button to turn OFF.
With the display now illuminated, the bike is now on and will provide assistance when ridden. Use the plus
(+) and minus (-) buttons to increase or decrease the amount of assistance given. The assistance levels
range from 0-5, 0 provides no assistance at all, then levels 1 through to 5 are used to determine the
amount of assistance provided, with level 5 giving the most assistance, and level 1 giving the least. There
are several other modes and features of the display that are covered in more detail towards the rear of this
manual, but the information given at this stage is just enough to get quickly up and running.
The bike will only assist you up to 15mph/25kph. Though of course you can use your own strength/power
to pedal beyond 15mph if you wish.
This bike features “start-assist”, meaning that when the minus (-) button is held, the bike will start moving
and will then hold steady at around 4mph. If you struggle with initially getting moving, this feature will help
get you started more easily. Once in motion, pedal the bike as you normally would and release the button.
The twist-grip cannot be used to start the bike from stand-still, use the “start-assist” feature as described
above if you need help to initially get moving. Once you have pedalled a short distance, the twist-grip will
become available should you wish to use it. You must pedal at least a short distance (a few metres) before
the twist-grip will function.
10
Riding the bike cont.
Your bike features an 8 speed Shimano rapid-fire shifter located on the right side of the handlebars.
To move up through the gears, PULL the upper lever/trigger with your index finger. To move down the
gears, PRESS the lower lever on the underside with your thumb.
The stiffness/travel of the forks can be adjusted to suit your weight (major reason), and/or riding style
(minor reason). The bigger the preload, the stiffer the spring, a higher preload is best for heavier riders
and/or for people who prefer a stiffer ride. Lighter riders should use less preload. Less preload will give
you a smoother ride, but the bike will dive more under braking. Turn the preload clockwise to stiffen, or
anti-clockwise to soften
Trigger/index finger
Thumb
You can also lock the front suspension, which is generally better for flat roads and hill climbing, and also
wastes less energy, whereas it’s better not to lock the suspension for rougher terrain and poorly main-
tained roads etc.
To lock the suspension, press down on the stanchion lever shown below-left, to unlock the suspension
once again, press the upper lever to unlock/release as shown below-right.
