Flipsky vesc has built-in antispark. But you need to replace the button. It switches off from vibrations.
Before vesc, I was riding on single BTS555 mosfet. But 10s battery is above its datasheet limit.
Really?
So I don’t need antispark protection for my 4.12 Fsesc?
Only for 6.x versions.

Why isn’t voice recognition used in esk8?
You could turn your esk8 on / off, enter police mode etc
All that without being stalked by the Cia by using an arduino with such a module:
Only con: for one sillable words it likes when you start to drop bars for some reason… So by making rhyme chains you trigger it too 
Let’s say your command is “hi”
“why” “I” “lie” “fry” will be recognized as “hi”
You can prevent that by making the command longer “hello there” for example
The module can record 15 records, 5 records in one group. It can only use one group (set of 5 commands) at a time, but your 5th command in first group could be “go group 2” and you have them linked 
Record is 1,3s long, so enough time.
Could be used to turn esk8 on, maybe enter remote settings, change display information on the remote, change driving mode on the esk8 (especially good for police!!!)
Here’s a sketch:
Your normal start word is something a cop wouldn’t say
I like “Llama” as an example.
Then you have “Activate” “Turn on” or just something a dumb cop would expect to be the ** on ** command
You go out of your house for a ride? Say your sneaky secret word “Llama” to go full speed, and then when the police stops you just say your normal word (for people with social anxiety, this could even be “hello” or “hello officer”)
And your esk8 will be limited to 6kmh (or whatever you want…) That’s whats legal here for me I think…
Good idea?

Or make it “do you guys like McDonald’s?” and when they say “what???” you just say it was out of interest muhahaha

Well but if they hear you saying that…

And you’re not white…
With a trigger remote…
Oooooooof
Edit:
I’m so happy this whole forum is completely unbound from politics or religious opinions. Here, everyone is just part of a huge family, because we’re all connected by our hobby.
I find that really cute

Make it “may I ask why you pulled me over?”
Super natural response lol

“Hey I have a little boner” might trigger the module too then xD
That should actually be the policeman saying it
I guess you have best chances to get out of this situation by offering him to ride your esk8

FWIW vesc tool allows you to set profiles both permanent and until the vesc is powered down.
So you have 2 profiles. A permanent with whatever speed/power limit is legal and another you activate when you turn the board on.
If you get stopped, power off the board and if the police check it, it will default to the legal settings when powered on again.

I asked a teacher at my school if he could machine a part for me because he had access to the lathes, there was a hole in a drive gear that was 22mm and I needed it widened to 24mm,
He replied that ‘This is America, and the measurement system of communists isn’t used here’ and asked for the freedom units equivalent… of which I did not know. Very annoying and quite petty, metric is just superior.

His machines probably had imperial leads and he didn’t want to do the conversion lol

My two cents to your teacher saying bad stuff about communism:
Does he think America is free because they are unleashed from any good Healthcare system?
Duh… All the poor communist europeans… They have a health insurance by law! What a torture!

Why can’t everything be sold and shipped within Europe? I can find almost anything in USA, and absolutely everything in China. I live in Sweden and not only does shipping a used hairpin cost $50, I have to wait weeks if not month(s) for it to arrive (especially now, thanks covid-19)
I am currently shopping for safety gear, looking at US pricing and availability makes me drool, then I realize I am in Sweden.
