The February 2025 Trampa Newsletter wraps up the continued launch of the new Trampa website, featuring a rotating 76T Slave Open Belt Drive Pulley for entertainment during loading, and enhanced search functionality that improves with use. While user accounts couldn’t be transferred due to data privacy concerns, guest checkout and express payment options like Apple and Google Pay are available for convenience. The newsletter also highlights recent riding content, including videos on building boards, Carve Board sessions, and comparisons between the Open Belt and Spur Gear drive systems. Despite an injury sidelining Sonnie, weekly YouTube uploads continue, showcasing Trampa’s signature riding style and technical insights.
Globally renowned high quality motor controller
You will likely have come across VESC™ by now, it is very special in the field of Electronic Speed Controllers so we are very proud that our boards all come as standard with a VESC™ and VESC™ BMS.
VESC6 Mk6 HP – Quite simply a higher powered version of the VESC6 Mk6, with the same trusted reliability and ease of control. Why High Power? Because the mosfets in the HP allow more amps to run through.
VESC6 Mk6 – An incredibly reliable and high performing compact speed controller, used by over 2000 companies in many other applications across the world
VESC 6/75 – If you are using a 16s Battery Pack to power your mountainboard this controller will automatically be selected to handle the higher voltage.
We make battery packs for both Li-Po & Li-Ion cells.
The (S) stands for Series - adding cells in series increases voltage, The (P) stands for Parallel - adding cells in parallel increases capacity.
A higher voltage will take you faster and higher capacity will take you further. See the table below for further comparison:.

Li-Po: These cells are more expensive, however you may consider them worth it because they have less components and therefore provide easy plug and play capability as well as making it possible to do a quick battery swap. Li-Po cells also have a higher discharge performance than the Li-ion packs.
Li-ion: Individual cells means that you have a serviceable battery pack, swapping out only the individual cells should they be damaged. These cell packs require some electrical knowledge.
We suggest that if you have limited electrical knowledge that you choose Li-Po batteries for their ease.
