    2. Firmware download The VESC Express is very new and needs to use BETA FIRMWARE until VESC-Tool 6 is released. The release of VESC-Tool 6 is not very far. We expect it to happen in December 2022. The VESC express will already have the correct firmware installed but will only work in conjunction with firmware updated VESC devices.
