FlowState VESC vs WheelLife

FlowState turns your iPhone and Apple Watch into a beautiful, real-time dashboard for your VESC-powered ride. Connect over Bluetooth to see everything your board is doing — then tune it, record it, and relive every ride. LIVE DASHBOARD • Big, glanceable gauges: speed, duty cycle, battery, current, and range • Pitch, roll, and footpad sensor indicators • Motor and controller temperatures, pack voltage, and live amps • A smart range estimate that learns from how you ride BATTERY & BMS • Per-cell voltages and pack balance at a glance • State of Health and coulomb-counted state of charge • Smart-BMS support for accurate, sag-free battery readings TUNE YOUR BOARD • Read and adjust your Refloat configuration right from your phone • Save unlimited tunes and switch between them in a tap — even from your wrist • Import tunes from XML files APPLE WATCH • Live gauges on your wrist while you ride • Switch tunes without reaching for your phone • Ride alerts buzz your wrist • Connect/Disconnect to board RECORD & RELIVE • Record your ride with the dashboard composited over your footage (picture-in-picture) • Automatic ride history with GPS maps, distance, top speed, duty, and energy used • Trip stats, odometer, and lifetime totals RIDE ALERTS • Real-time pushback, footpad, and over-duty alerts • Persistent warnings so you never miss a critical condition • Keeps tracking in your pocket on long rides MAKE IT YOURS • Multiple visual themes, including a neon Retro Arcade look • Demo mode to explore the app without a board connected How FlowState was built — and what it can and can't do Openly: FlowState was made by an independent solo developer with the help of Claude, an AI coding assistant. Since a few riders have asked, here's exactly what's going on. What actually controls your board isn't this app, and isn't AI. The VESC firmware runs the motor, and the Refloat package — open-source, human-written firmware on the board — does the real-time balancing many times a second. That's what controls your ride. FlowState runs on your phone, outside that loop: it displays the data Refloat broadcasts and, only when you choose, sets Refloat's settings within its own limits. Your board rides exactly the same whether your phone is connected, pocketed, dead, or absent — and nothing is "AI-controlled" while you ride. Claude helped write the code; it doesn't run while you ride. In short: FlowState monitors and configures; Refloat controls. FlowState has been thoroughly tested on real hardware and stays within safe boundaries: - It only reads and writes the Refloat package's settings — the same values you can adjust in VESC Tool, Float Control, or Floaty — always within the ranges Refloat allows, using Refloat's own format. - It does not modify VESC firmware or your motor configuration. No firmware flashing, no motor detection, no FOC, current-limit, or hardware changes. - It cannot push values outside Refloat's limits, and it does not bypass your board's built-in fault and safety systems. - Battery/BMS: the only battery-management change it can make is the charge limit — locked to the specific BMS model and firmware versions it's been tested against, and disabled on anything else. Note: FlowState doesn't double check your VESC/motor configuration like Float Control — after setting up or reconfiguring your board, double-check it in Float Control before riding. FlowState was inspired by Float Control and Floaty and owes a lot to them — sincere thanks to their creators for paving the way for tools like this. Questions or concerns: flowstate.vesc.support@gmail.com. FlowState is free. An optional Tip Jar and the Retro Arcade theme help cover Apple's fees and fund new features. FlowState is an independent app for VESC-based boards running the Refloat package. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the VESC project, Benjamin Vedder, Refloat, or any board manufacturer.

Wheel Life turns your iPhone into a full dashboard for your electric unicycle. Connect over Bluetooth and see everything your wheel knows, live speed, battery, voltage, current, temperature, and duty cycle, then record every ride with GPS and keep the whole story. LIVE DASHBOARD See it the instant it happens. Speed, real battery percentage (sag compensated so it doesn't swing under hard acceleration), power, temperature, and duty cycle, all updating in real time. No wheel handy? Tap "Try Demo Wheel" and explore the whole dashboard with simulated telemetry. RIDE TRACKING & HISTORY Rides start on their own when you connect and record in the background with the screen off. Every ride is saved with its route, top speed, distance, climb, and a battery curve. Browse them in a rich History with heat map thumbnails, personal record chips, and weekly trends. Pause for a coffee stop and resume without eating your stats or your battery. RIDE ALARMS Set speed, duty cycle, temperature, and battery alarms so you hear the warning before you feel it. Telemetry is an instrument, not a safety system, but a good alarm gives you a moment. COMMUNITY Share rides with routes trimmed at both ends to hide where you live. Follow leaderboards that count all your verified riding, join clubs, host and find group rides near you, message other riders, and claim territory on a live map. Block and report keep it civil. EXPORT Send any ride to Strava, Ride Hermes, or export GPX and CSV to take your data anywhere. APPLE WATCH & LIVE ACTIVITY Glance at your speed and battery on your wrist and on the Lock Screen while you ride. WORKS WITH YOUR WHEEL Automatic protocol detection for Kingsong, Veteran, Begode/Gotway, and Inmotion — no picking your model from a list. Begode pack size is worked out automatically from the wheel itself. YOUR DATA IS YOURS Rides stay on your device unless you choose to share them. Leaderboards sync numbers, never your location. No ads, no trackers, no data brokers. Anonymous diagnostics can be turned off. Wheel Life is not affiliated with any wheel manufacturer. Ride within your limits and wear protective gear.
