A traditional sounding bicycle bell. -
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
Your eScooter can be configured using the techtron® smart app. Use it to set
up your desired settings such as riding mode and speed limiter. You can even
lock the eScooter to prevent unauthorised access.
Please note – the eScooter will remember all settings applied in the techtron®
smart app even when Bluetooth® is disconnected.
Download to your smart device via the Apple App Store or Google Play.

Maintenance and Warranty
-
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.
-
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.

Battery maintenance and disposal
Do not touch the battery contacts, and do not open or expose the shell. Avoid
metal objects touching the battery contacts, as this will cause a short
circuit, damage to the battery, or even personal injury.
Please refer to the model specifications in this manual for your eScooter’s
charging requirements. Only use a charger with the correct voltage otherwise
there will be a risk of damage to components or fire.
Ensure batteries are disposed of responsibly. Recharge the battery and store
after use, in order to preserve battery life. Do not place the battery in high
temperatures higher than 50°C or below -20°C, or it may lead to battery
failure, overheating, or even risk of fire.
Always store in a cool dry place fully charged. A battery will be at optimum
performance at a standard room temperature. Warranty may be invalid if the
battery is removed.

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.

Troubleshooting
Error codes and what they mean
Faults with techtron® eScooters rarely happen, but if you’re unfortunate
enough to encounter a problem, just cross reference the error code shown on
the scooter’s display panel with the ones listed in the table opposite.
If the fault can’t be resolved through simple troubleshooting, and providing
your scooter is in warranty, then get in touch with our customer services
team. Let us know the error code displayed on your scooter, or give us an idea
of the problem you’re having and we’ll do our very best to get you back up and
riding as soon as possible.
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. Maintenance of this kind should only be
checked and rectified by a qualified technician.
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.
