This snap-in mount for the UBOX Aluminum Lite allows you to securely install the VESC controller into your Motocompacto. A slot is also cut out for the Spintend Bluetooth module that you can get with the controller, which will friction fit.
Goal
I am modifying my Honda Motocompacto to reach higher top speeds and turn it into a more practice vehicle for me. I am doing this with VESC and I chose to go with the Spintend UBOX controller as it seems like a middle ground of reliability and price, plus it can support a wide range of voltages to allow some room for growth. I am building around a 48V 10A battery at the moment.
Purchased Items
UBOX LITE VESC Controller (included Bluetooth module)
Julet 9-Pin Wire (standard waterproof e-bike connector)
Usage
Snap in the controller and slide in the Bluetooth module to the side and it is ready to install into your Motocompacto. There is a hole on the back to push the controller out if needed.
For disassembly I recommend this video guide which will walk you through the painful process of removing panels. You will need to remove the front wheel cover to access the motor wire. I would recommend looking at this reddit post for a wiring breakdown. Even though they are using a Flipsky board and this is a Spintend board the naming is very similar.
If you have any additional questions feel free to leave a comment, but I am no means an expert at VESC. I just know how to safely wire things together enough to get moving. This project is slowly teaching me more about VESC.
Notes
I have not extensively tested this one as I decided to use the larger Ubox 85V 150A for my build for the built in 12V. I am working on that one as I submit this and will upload when it is ready, as I think that is the much more practical route to go especially because of the included 12V output.
