Mechanical and Electronic Bell

1. Mechanical bell
   A traditional sounding bicycle bell.

2. Electronic bell
   A much louder sound comparable to a standard car horn. To use the electronic bell please ensure the selector switch is first moved to the ON position.

Charging

Charging time
Please allow 5-7 hours for the eScooter’s battery to fully charge. To charge, open the rubber stopper on the side of the base and plug into the power supply. Replace the stopper after charging to prevent water damage.

USB device charging
The Ultra 5000 has a USB 2.0 port for charging mobile devices.

Display Panel Function

Speed mode presets
The Ultra 5000 comes with three pre-configured factory default speed modes (these can be changed via the techtron® smart app – see page 12).

Factory default speed modes

Mode| Default| Maximum*
Eco| 15km/h| 25km/h
Drive (D)| 20km/h| 25km/h
Sport (S)| 25km/h| 40km/h

Sport mode (S) is actually capable of a maximum speed of 40km/h, which can only be achieved using the techtron® smart app. Please note the UK speed limit for eScooters is currently 15.5mph (25Km/h) at the time of going to print.*
The display can also be configured to show speed in mph or km/h using the smart app.

Display panel button
With a quick double click of the power button, the user can toggle between the device’s three speed mode presets.
The eScooter’s lights can also be turned ON/OFF by a single press of the button.
To turn the eScooter ON/OFF, hold down the button for three seconds.
Battery level indicator
Five bars along the centre of the displaypanel indicate the current charge status. When a single bar is displayed, this indicates battery power is less than 10% and the eScooter will eventually slow to a natural stop when the remaining power is used.

We advise the eScooter be recharged when power drops to a single bar.

Power saving
When not in use the techtron® eScooter will power down automatically after 15 minutes.
Cruise control
To activate cruise control, maintain the same speed for 10 seconds, the device will then beep when the mode is activated. Cruise control will deactivate when applying the brake.

Diagnostics
Thermometer and spanner icons are briefly displayed on the control panel at start-up, indicating the eScooter’s diagnostic check. These will only stay on permanently if a problem is detected.

Thermometer: Indicates there is a problem with the motor temperature.
If the temperature of the motor is more than 90˚C, the eScooter will stop working in order to protect the motor.
Spanner: Indicates an electrical fault, which also displays a fault code. Please consult the troubleshooting guide (page 19) for further detail.

*Speed is adjustable by the techtron® smart app at individuals’ own liability. techtron® or Multibrands™ International Ltd will not be held responsible for accidents, injuries to any party, through misuse or illegal operation in anyway.

techtron® Smart App

Maintenance and Warranty

1. Manually adjusting the brakes (front and rear wheels)
   To tighten the brakes, simply insert the M5 hex key into the slot and turn counterclockwise to release the pressure plate screw. Return the brake line to make the exposed tail length slightly longer, then lock the pressure plate screw.
   If the brakes are too tight, release the pressure plate screw again and pull the brake cable to make the exposed tail length slightly shorter, then lock.
   

2. Inflating the tyres (front and rear wheels)
   Having the ideal tyre pressure will result in the best traction, control, mileage, speed and ultimately the best ride!
   In addition, this will help to reduce the chance of punctures.
   Simply remove the valve cap on each tyre and top up to the appropriate level. The Ultra 5000 tyres are rated for a maximum of 50psi. However, the optimum pressure will ultimately depend on the weight of the rider. Please see table (right) for further details.

Recommended tyre pressures

Load| Pressure
Under 70kg| 36psi (2.5bar)
70-100kg| 44psi (3.0bar)
100-120kg| 50psi (3.5bar)
3. Fine tuning loose or tight brakes (front and rear wheels) The brakes can be fine tuned by hand. Turn the screw counterclockwise to tighten the brakes and clockwise to loosen.

Cleaning and storage
Use a soft cloth dipped in a small amount of water to wipe the eScooter; for any difficult to clean areas, you can use toothpaste and gently brush with a toothbrush, then use a damp cloth to clean.
Do not use alcohol, petrol, kerosene, or other corrosive, volatile chemical cleaning solvents, as this will seriously damage the appearance and internal structure of the body. Do not use pressure washers to clean. Ensure that the charging cable has been unplugged and the rubber stopper on the charging port is closed. Otherwise, there may be a chance of electric shock or serious failure due to internal water intake.

Rider Guidance, Safety and Specifications

Helmets and clothing
Wearing a cycle helmet is recommended when riding an eScooter, but it is not a legal requirement. Always make sure that your cycle helmet conforms to current regulations, is the correct size, and is securely fastened. Wear light- coloured or fluorescent clothing so that other road users can see you at night or whenever visibility is reduced.
As with any vehicle, the faster the user is travelling, the more braking distance is required. Please respect pedestrians’ right of way when riding the techtron® eScooter.

Riding safely
Please check the eScooter before riding. Check for loose parts and general tyre wear and tear.
Always start the eScooter by pushing off with your foot first, this reduces the start load on the motor, ensuring a longer battery life.
The techtron® eScooter is designed to perform best on smooth dry surfaces, therefore avoid riding on uneven gravel, sand, grass, slick or wet surfaces. Never ride over curbs or jump. The eScooter is not designed for this type of riding and any damage caused to the eScooter while riding in this manner will void the warranty. techtron® accepts no liability for any injuries caused to rider or damage to property which may arise while riding the eScooter. Never ride the eScooter with more than one person, as this may lead to loss of control. It is the rider’s responsibility to ensure they comply with all local laws and regulations that may apply while riding the eScooter.
