Hi all, Just to let you know that Hatti at Woosh Bikes has let me know that a cancellation for Sirocco CD order has left one available and I have decided to go for it. . Thanks to everyone for the advice and offers of assistance (and coffee). Looking forward to using the bike to help with my recovery getting me out of the house and further afield.

Very pleased with the Woosh Sirocco CD. The bike was dispatched on Monday 8th July and arrived the next afternoon. As I was not up to lifting yet a couple of neighbours helped unpack and assemble the bike. The front wheel and mudguard needed to be attached and the handle bar inserted and adjusted. (this was the only tricky thing as there was not enough purchase on the enclosed allen key to tighten the stem sufficiently). By this stage the battery had charged fully and the final checks were being carried out - we had also been joined by another 2 neighbours and by all the wives and also my daughter for the 'official launch of the bike' The bike road like a dream up and down the fairly steep incline of our road .- no one could hear the motor and both throttle and pedal assist kicked in really naturally for me (and I haven't been on a bike for 15 years!) Great build, Great battery, great feeling, great value, Thanks Hatti at Woosh for all your help.

Congratulations on your new bike, I hope it gives you years of pleasure.

I daresay those neighbours, wife, daughter etc will all want to have a go on it too!

Cycling is absolutely brilliant for for the old ticker and if like me your joints are aging the riding will help with those as well once you get past the running in period on them :)

If you had a bypass mount your water bottle where you can get it without reaching down into the frame, I used to occasionally have a rib slip out of the sternum as I reached for the bottle, feels a lot like a broken rib for 2 weeks after the event.
