In 2012, Trampa Boards Ltd. sought to electrify their mountainboard and skateboard range. Directors Ted and Frank met with Benjamin to develop a suitable speed controller. Over the next two years, the VESC 6 and the VESC Tool were developed, manufactured and integrated into Trampa’s product line.
Word quickly spread about this superior ESC for small voltage motors, leading to an expanded VESC hardware range for different powered motors and applications. Today, the VESC/Trampa brand is globally renowned, continually growing, and adding new components to its product range, serving some of the biggest brand names worldwide.
VESC motor controllers offer a high degree of customization and flexibility. Users can configure various parameters such as motor current, braking, and acceleration curves to suit specific applications, making it suitable for a wide range of electric vehicles and robotics projects.
The VESC project is open-source, which means users can access the source code, contribute to its development, and customize it according to their needs. This also means a strong community support where users can find solutions, share experiences, and collaborate on improvements.
VESC motor controllers are known for their advanced features, such as field-oriented control (FOC) for smooth and efficient motor operation, regenerative braking, and comprehensive telemetry. These features contribute to enhanced performance, efficiency, and user experience.
VESC controllers are designed to be compatible with a wide range of motors and sensors. This makes them easy to integrate into various systems, ensuring seamless operation and optimal performance across different applications.
The versatility, support and advanced capabilities of VESC Motor Controllers, makes them a preferred choice for many enthusiasts and professionals in the field of electric motor control

COLLABORATE
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.
