    Motor going backwards all of a sudden?

    Compared to the J King battery indicator on a woosh big bear? The JLCD shows battery life of either full or empty depending on how much I'm pedalling/incline. Just got home after 20 miles riding. The battery has all LEDs lit up

    Massive Praise for Woosh bikes

    Made the 3 hr drive to woosh yesterday and dropped off my bike for them to have a look at. I arrived this morning and was offered an upgrade to a big bear as they were explaining the chain drive may not be suitable for me as I'm quite young and do some hard pedalling. They also provided me with...

    https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BztB4N7mO2y9RWNPQmxlWFJEeEE/edit?usp=docslist_api See video. Does this chain look too loose to you? I've pretty much nailed the rattling sound to the chain.

    Woosh Sirocco CDL First Impressions

    Hello all. I got this bike a week ago and have done 60 miles on it so far. I'm completely new to electric bikes so I don't have anything to compare it to. Initial impressions are wow! Overall it seems sturdy. But there are some niggling issues. The rear mud guard spikes come off occasionally...

    Hello all. Been thoroughly enjoying my Sirocco CDL. Gear changes mastered and such a great way to get to work. One thing (apart from my front brakes which I can't for the life of me align properly, going to take it into a bike shop) is that any kind of bump or crack in the road causes...

    Derestricting Sirocco CDL

    Hi all. I'm new here and new to electric bikes. I have a Sirocco CDL in mind. For off - road use, is it possible to derestrict the 15mph limit? If so, is it easy? It is not essential but would be nice to have the option when going off road. Many thanks :) Nick
