Regulator VESC BLDC MTVESC50A - 50A ESC for Electric Skateboards

Attention, new model SUPERFOC6.8!

The VESC BLDC regulators are the latest and most advanced open-source ESCs specifically designed for controlling electric skateboard motors. They are built from the ground up with many customizable settings that traditional ESCs do not offer.

VESC BLDC regulator for electric skateboards ESC with open-source code. VESC is a highly modifiable electronic speed controller ESC with open-source code by Benjamin Vedder. It is ideally suited especially for building your own "DIY" electric skateboards. VESC regulators allow for sensorless motors to provide a smooth start compared to traditional RC ESCs, where we experience starting issues. You can connect the VESC regulator to your computer via mini USB and modify its settings according to your needs.

The VESC Tool is only available for Windows and Linux systems. MacOS support is not available. We test VESC regulators multiple times during the production cycle.

Your VESC regulator will work even better if configured directly for the specific voltage of your motor and battery. Check out the videos below for more information on how to program the VESC regulator. You will likely need the following items for your VESC regulator.

ADVANTAGES OF ELECTRIC SKATEBOARDS ESC WITH VESC BLDC REGULATORS

• Powerful, reliable, and progressive electric brakes.
• Starting with sensorless motors is the same as with sensor motors.
• Many safety features, such as current and temperature control functions.
• Vector control (FOC) either with or without sensors allows for more efficient operation of the electric skateboard with almost no motor noise.

FEATURES OF ELECTRIC SKATEBOARDS ESC WITH VESC BLDC REGULATORS

• Model: MTVESC50A
• Built-in 5V BEC circuit (used to power the receiver)
• Voltage: 8V to 60V (up to 12S LiPo voltage)
• Current: up to 240A for a few seconds or 50A continuously
• PCB size is 40mm x 60mm
• Regenerative braking
• Operation with or without sensors
• High starting torque with sensorless motors
• Total size of the VESC regulator is 120mm in length and 40mm in width.
• Battery wires = XT90 female with 5mm male bullet connectors with 10awg silicone braided wire
• Motor wires = 5.5mm bullet connectors with 10awg silicone braided wire

*Custom detection and motor value settings need to be based on specific requirements.

The user can choose between different control modes:

• 1. Duty cycle: forward and backward with brake
• 2. Duty cycle without reverse: forward with brake
• 3. Current: forward and backward without brake
• 4. Current without reverse: forward without brake
• 5. Current without reverse with brake: forward with brake
• 6. PID speed control
• 7. PID speed control – without reverse
