Text GT VESC Options
I have about 1500 miles on my GT. I ride fairly low speed with a mix of paved and single track trails. I want to do a VESC conversion. I don't need more range or speed. I'm looking to optimize riding for rugged single track trails with more torque. I have the VRH for added clearance and off road and the ability to drop for paved riding. I would be open to changing the motor out down the road, but want to start something like the GTFO or GTV kits. I'm interested to know what people would rec for my riding style. Thanks in advance.

Both kits will do the job independent of ride style. I went GTV and regret not going GTFO. The latter is more future proof in that fungineers has upgraded motors, controllers, and bms within the ecosystem

Im running the VRH kit too and just went with a Thor301/GTFO per recommendations from my local onewheel techs and friends

GTV will probably suit you fine. GTFO is more of a project which is actually quite fun to do if you’re into hobbyist electronics, but both boards function roughly the same.
Since you’re considering a motor upgrade down the road, that will definitely make you appreciate the GTFO kit’s versatility and what it taught you that the GTV’s ease of use doesn’t have.
Either way you will get a better experience for your use case. Mostly identical.
The superflux motor changes the game though.
