Controls and Indicators
The Sirocco Sport CD electric bike comes with a throttle con-
trol. The throttle is located on the left side of the handlebars
as shown below. When the throttle is pulled fully, the motor
will provide the most assistance.
Mounted on the handlebars is the control module. This is
used to turn the bike on/off and also to increase/decrease
the amount of assistance given from the motor. This module
also indicates the current status of the battery.
To turn the control module on/off, press and hold the MODE
button (the middle button) as indicated above. The advanced
functions of the control module will be covered in more depth
later in the manual.
Riding the Bike
Inflate the tyres to around 45 to 50psi before riding.
To begin using the bike, press (and hold) the ‘Mode’ button
to switch on the ‘Control Module’. The bike is now effectively
on, and if you ride it in this state, the motor will provide assis-
tance when pedalling and you will also be able to use the
throttle if you wish. To vary the amount of assistance pro-
vided from the motor, use the up/down buttons to cycle
through the 5 levels of available assistance.
There are several other features available on this ‘control
module’ and these are covered later in the manual. The infor-
mation provided so far is just enough to get you up and run-
ning as quickly as possible.
Important note about the maximum speed.
You cannot reach the maximum speed on throttle alone.
You can increase the maximum speed on throttle by setting
the assistance level to high but to achieve the maximum
speed, you need to use pedal assist mode. Your maximum
speed will be then limited by your highest cadence or by the
motor.
The motor assistance will cut out in one of the two condi-
tions:
1. You reach the maximum legal speed of 15mph (26kph).
2. The current through the controller reaches 14A.
