Q: What should I do if the battery level indicator shows only one bar?

Charging
Charging Time
Please allow 8-9 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 TS5 EVO has a USB 2.0 port for charging mobile devices.
Speed Mode Presets
The TS5 EVO 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 display panel 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.
Display Panel Function
Power Saving
When not in use the techtron® eScooter will power down automatically after 15
minutes.

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 isa 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.

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 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.
Error code | Description | Solution |
---|---|---|
4 | Short circuit | Check for a short circuit in the wiring/installation or |
replace the controller to eliminate the fault.
9| Sub-motor communication failure (dual drive models only)| Check the
connection line between the sub-controller and the main controller.
10| Dashboard communication failure| First check whether the connection line
between the instrument panel and the controller assembly line is normal or
not. Then shut down and restart the eScooter, after re-plugging the assembly
line interface. If fault has not disappeared, instrument or controller may
need to be replaced to eliminate the fault.
11| Abnormal sensor| Check the line of the phase line of the controller or
motor.
