What is esc for electric skateboard?

An Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) is a device used in electric skateboards to control the speed and acceleration of the board. It acts as a bridge between the motor and the battery, regulating the flow of electricity to the motor to control its speed. The ESC also plays a crucial role in ensuring smooth and responsive acceleration and braking, as well as providing important safety features such as overcurrent protection and thermal management. Different electric skateboards may have different types and specifications of ESCs, which can impact the overall performance and ride experience.
