OLD QUESTION: What is the best VESC on the market that is available to purchase?

But a bike on the moon sounds pretty good: with like 1/6th of earth’s gravity I imagine getting traction will be a problem and I’ll want my tires at maybe a 1/6th the tire pressure,… but once I got moving the low air density should allow me to really hit high speed.
@Trampa no Vesc bikes in space?

At least Mr. V works in aerospace industry so probably not so unlikely.

I think @Deodand is there also helping him building a vesc spaceship :rocket::clap:t2:

Ive heard BV working on electric plane for awhile, but I doubt any vesc is actually going into a plane.

Ok, cool, thanks very much. I will probs get that.
Just checking, it does support BLDC motors right? I dont wana get it to find out it doesn’t work.

Sorry for the noobie question, all your help is greatly appreciated

Yea should do, VESCs are supposed to be able to run any 3 phase motor

Brushed motors too! xD

be good to know @Trampa . i have two vesc 6 on bikes. ive never heard this before.

If you throw a lot of amps a motor, it might saturate and then currents shoot up faster than you can react.
Depending on the motor, saturation is reached faster than you think. It it is possible to drive such motors, but you need to use manually adjusted values for inductance and resistance and flux linkage and observer gain. The new upcoming Vesc Tool should be much better at detecting complicated motors. However, it is always wise to open the RT-Data and go to the FOC tab. When current ripples occur, you need to let go the throttle and re-adjust.

why does your advertisement show and talk of using bicycles if youre saying its too dangerous to use bikes? saturation could happen with any small motor, if anything a giant hub motor with lots of iron would be less likely to saturate, no?

Depends on the motor and the amps you shoot at it. You can dial in pretty much any motor if you know how. Once the new VESC-Tool is out, we will produce a Video.
