Capacitor Bank??

Unfortunately, this cool idea cannot be used that simply, since there is no parameter in vesc tool like “max energy overcurrent mode”, but that would be cool though. Moreover, maximum energy stored in vesc caps, for example, is 2.5J, that can give me additional 70ma for 1 second @ 36V. Not that much at all. But still this is as cool as Williams’ flywheel.

Please, do not overestimate capacity. It is not that big at all. Moreover, capacitors will not discharge completely under the load, just a bit. So small amounts of energy do not make any sense
