The VESC2X3Bridge is a project I started at the end of 2025. It aims to integrate the X3 Scooter Series from Ninebot into the world of VESC, an open-source project by Benjamin Vedder.

This repository provides the PCB files for the VESC2X3Bridge board. It allows an almost plug-and-play installation, with minimal configuration required on both the VESC and Bridge sides.

How to create a PCB from the files

Clone this repository and open it with KiCad.
Use the "Fabrication Outputs" option to generate the required files for your PCB manufacturer.

Upload the files to a PCB manufacturer (for example, JLCPCB) and choose a 2-layer PCB board.
Once you receive your PCB, development can begin. :)

Firmware flashing

The board uses an ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 chip, which has exposed USB D+, D-, and GND pins on the PCB.
Use these pins to connect a USB cable to your computer and flash your firmware.

Flashing Service

We offer a PCB flashing service for those who prefer a ready-to-use board:

Cost: Listed on our shop page
Includes: Lifetime free firmware updates
How it works: Simply order the service, and we will program your PCB with the latest firmware and ship it to you ready to use.

This service is optional — you can still build and flash the PCB yourself if you prefer.
