AmpForge VESC 3.5" Dashboard

A 3.5" touchscreen dashboard for VESC scooters. It pairs over Bluetooth, so there's nothing to wire.

Now on pre-order. Each dashboard is built, flashed and tested by hand, and yours ships as soon as it's ready. We'll email you a tracking number the moment it does, and you can cancel any time before it ships for a full refund.

AmpForge reads your VESC live and puts the numbers that matter where you can see them: speed, power, battery, range, temperatures, trip and odometer. Mount it on your bars, pair it, ride. Every unit is built, flashed and tested by hand in Alberta before it ships.

What it shows

• Speed, taken straight from your VESC so it matches VESC Tool, or calculated from your wheel size if you need to.
• Power in watts, with an optional power bar.
• Battery % and range, worked out from your pack: you enter cells in series and capacity, Li-ion or LiFePO4.
• Motor and controller temperatures, so you know when to back off.
• Trip and odometer, kept through firmware updates.

Make the screen yours

Pick a home screen (Classic, Minimal, Data or Car dash) or build your own in the free web Layout Designer: drag and resize the speed readout, gauges, battery and tiles, then send the layout over Bluetooth or USB. Landscape and portrait each keep their own layout, and you can design the charging screen too. Share a layout with a friend by copying its layout code.

Four text styles (Modern, Large, Compact and Retro pixel), eight speed colours including "match my riding mode", adjustable brightness, and a 180° flip for upside-down mounts.

Riding modes

Set up to six modes, like Eco, Normal and Sport, on the dashboard's MODES tab and switch with one tap. Each mode has its own colour, so you can tell at a glance what you're in. Your saved VESC configuration is never overwritten.

Set up from your phone

Everything is configured from your browser, with no app to install. Use Chrome on Android, Chrome or Edge on a computer, or the free Bluefy browser on iPhone. Choose metric or imperial, enter your battery, and set how the screen behaves: jump to the dash when you start riding, dim when parked, reset the trip when the VESC disconnects, or switch off after a set time to protect the screen.

Running an encrypted VESC Express? Enter its Bluetooth PIN and the dashboard connects as normal.

Free updates, nothing lost

Plug the dashboard into a computer with a USB-C cable, open the AmpForge update page in Chrome or Edge, and click Install. It takes about a minute. Your settings, riding modes, layouts, trip and odometer stay exactly as they were. You can also back up and restore all your settings from the same site.

Power

The dashboard runs on its own built-in battery and charges over USB-C from any standard USB charger or computer. It doesn't draw from your scooter, so you never open the deck.

Compatibility

• ✓ VESC Express (including encrypted, with your PIN)
• ✓ Any VESC with an official VESC Bluetooth module (NRF51 / NRF52)
• ✗ Generic HM-10 / JDY Bluetooth modules are not supported
