Yes. It is possible with a vesc. Just change the maxium duty cycle setting in vesc tool for the esc program.
Example from B264 (still love the guy)
Full speed:
Maximum Duty Cycle 95% Duty Cycle Current Limit Start 85%
Half speed:
Maximum Duty Cycle 50% Duty Cycle Current Limit Start 45%
Low speed:
Maximum Duty Cycle 25% Duty Cycle Current Limit Start 22%
So that way no matter if you change the speed settings via remote, it’ll stay locked to that adjusted speed.

If you’re using those, no. They are pre-set by the makers. I was thinking that you wouldn’t stick with those. My apologies.

yeah that one, its on the same spot. i was looking at some aliexpress, ebay, alibaba listings. it just says ‘Code Button’ without any explanation what it does.
I am guessing u have remote that came with controller. Do u know what speed selection button does. Does it limit speed or acceleration
Yeah I wouldn’t mess with that if there’s very little info
About that…
If it works similarly, speed selection limits pwm value, making the board move slow/med/fast depending (mainly both speed and acceleration on my board). This remote may not be exactly the same as that so my suggestion would be to test it out. I would not recommend it if the esc works as intended. They just need to not change the speed setting.
yeah that one is fancy, i have generic no display one hahahaha. What if i glue speed select button. I will not mess with the board its not wort it.
Hey if that works, it works. I would just let the owner know it’s better to tell the people how to change speed so that people can safely ride with ease.
Hahaha nope that doesn’t work. He told them but every single time they ride on max and hurt them selves.
Anyway thank you for help
