IMPORTANT:   

LOOK AFTER SPOKES,  TYRES AND KEYS!! 

 

The vibrations on an electric bike can cause the fixings and also the spokes to become loose more quickly 
than on a standard bike. You must maintain them (or have a local bike shop maintain them for you if it’s 
something you cannot do yourself). 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 will 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. This variation ensures the wheel is straight (or ‘trued’). If all the spokes were equally tight, or 
all very tight, the wheel would not be straight. So it is normal that some spokes are tighter than others. 

 

In future, check your spokes regularly, every two or three weeks if you ride daily, or once every couple of 
months if you only ride occasionally. We normally supply a spoke tool (small round numbered metallic de-
vice) which comes in the same box as the battery charger. 

 

How to check? Lightly ‘ping’ each spoke like a harp string with your index finger. If it feels very loose insert 
the spoke key onto the nipple of the spoke in question, using the notch numbered 13. The nipple is the 
metal part at the base of the spoke where it joins the wheel rim. Give it a quarter turn or so. Don’t over-
tighten the nipple as the spoke may then be too rigid and could snap during riding. If you’re not sure how 
to do this, then have your local bike shop make these adjustments for you. 

 

You can give your wheel a quick visual check by spinning it and making sure the brake pads are equal dis-
tances from the wheel when it spins and that it seems to spin straight and not wobble from side to side. 
Get someone to help hold the bike if necessary. If the wheel is not true, then the wheel rim will likely rub 
on the brake pads at various points as it rotates, use the spoke key to tighten or loosen the spokes at the 
point where it rubs to bring the wheel back in to line. You may want to have this done at your local bike 
shop if you are not experienced. 

 

Also check your tyre pressures often (before each ride ideally), and inflate as required. The pressure 
range of the tyres is printed on the side wall of the tyre, though we recommend inflating them to around 90 
psi on this model. For heavier riders, you may want to inflate them a little higher, but don’t go beyond the 
maximum of 120psi 

 

These maintenance steps aren’t always needed quite as often on a standard bike, but they are for an elec-
tric bike. 

 

If you are not able to perform these checks yourself, you should have your local bike shop do them for you 
at your cost.
