VESC BLDC Open-Source Electric Skateboard ESC VESC is an open source, highly modifiable electronic speed controller ESC by Benjamin Vedder. It works fantastic for building your own DIY Electric Skateboard. The VESC allows you to use sensorless motors to achieve smooth start-up from a stop versus traditional RC ESC’s which have trouble starting from a complete stop. You can connect your VESC via Mini USB to your computer and modify VESC settings to fit your needs.

VESC WARRANTY
Electronic components have a 60-day warranty. The warranty does not cover defects or malfunction caused by misuse, abuse or improper maintenance。
The VESC is highly susceptible to damage if used incorrectly. It is still and a beta product. We do our best to get you up and running with no problems. Please watch our YouTube Videos on setup.
VESC is currently a BETA product.
By purchasing the VESC without warranty is upon your own RISK. Any errors after testing are your own responsibility. We do not offer any replacements or returns.
We do our best by extensive testing on our end which includes loading the bootloader/firmware, testing BLDC mode, motor detection and testing FOC mode. We run these tests 2-3 times. If we are able to do the following with no issues, the VESC is ready to be shipped.
