RageLink: Telemetry, displays, and controllers that speak the same language

RageLink is Rage Mechanics' line of electronic components: controllers, three displays, a telemetry unit, an application, and a web platform, all designed to work together. The core concept is simple: everything can be adjusted, updated, and locked from your phone, whether for daily use or racing. The product line is not yet available for sale; you can sign up for the RageLink waiting list to be notified first. Here's what it includes, and what each component does.

Why connect the controller, display, and telemetry system?

On a typical electric scooter, each electronic component operates somewhat independently. The controller drives the motor, the display shows the speed, the battery has its own battery management system (BMS), which monitors the cells and shuts down in case of a problem, and each component has its own adjustment tool, if it has one. To diagnose a problem or adjust a machine, you often have to connect three cables and open three different software programs.

The principle of RageLink is the opposite: the controller is the heart of the system, it drives the motor and shares its data with all other products. The display reads directly from the controller, the TelemetryBox records what's happening, and the application controls everything from a single location. To understand how different devices exchange information on a vehicle, our guide on the CAN bus explains the general principle.

Ride: What RageLink brings to your daily experience

For everyday use, the RageLink interface highlights four key functions:

• Reading the Battery Management System (BMS): The controller connects to the BMS. ANT BMS systems are currently supported, with JBD and JK systems planned for future support. Reading the BMS provides a real-time view of the battery's status, rather than an estimate derived solely from voltage
• A signed anti-theft device that never locks while the vehicle is in motion. "Signed" means that the locking command is authenticated: no unauthorized device can send the command in place of the owner
• Software updates can be performed via the app, without needing to disassemble anything;
• The history of each ride is stored in the web interface.

As the page states, and as we also emphasize: on public roads, the vehicle's speed is limited to 25 km/h. Performance is measured on private property or on a closed track.

Race: Track telemetry

Telemetry is the recording of what the machine is doing while it's running: speed, position, temperatures, and everything the controller measures. On the track, it's used to understand where time is being lost, to verify that a motor isn't overheating during a fast lap, or to compare two different settings. Our guide on telemetry for racing details the process.

Regarding RageLink, the page states:

• The TelemetryBox V2 features GPS, an inertial measurement unit (which measures accelerations and rotations), and 4G connectivity;
• timed lap times, track layouts, and analysis within the web platform;
• The Apex display is designed for racing.

According to the website, this is the same equipment used by the Rage Mechanics racing team.

The TelemetryBox V2: A Detailed Look

It records everything and updates the entire system remotely. Data from everyday rides and track sessions is uploaded to the web platform, along with GPS tracking and lap times.

Three displays, three levels

A scooter display shows the speed, battery level, and riding mode; it often also serves as a control panel (buttons, power, anti-theft). Our guide on how a scooter display works explains what happens behind the screen. In the RageLink range, the three displays connect directly to the controller:

The controllers are at the heart of the system

This page features two families of controllers, ranging from 400 to 2000 amps of phase current, at 100V. The phase current is the current that flows to the motor; it's what generates the torque, as explained in our electric scooter controller guide.

According to the website, these products are designed by our engineering department in Lyon, manufactured in our workshops in France, individually tested on a test bench, and sealed with a warranty sticker. High-voltage versions are currently under development. The X400 Dual controls two motors from a single unit, which is of interest to manufacturers of dual-motor scooters, go-karts, and for custom projects: it simplifies the installation, wiring, and configuration process with just one controller.

And what about your machine, today?

The RageLink page features scooter kits and motorcycle kits, including a controller, display, and wiring harness ready for installation: these are "coming soon." For karts, prototypes, or racing machines, it offers a custom project. Manufacturers and fleet managers can contact our engineering department, which adapts RageLink electronics to their vehicles, with dedicated studies and quotes starting from a minimum production volume.

While waiting for the release, Rage Mechanics does not sell controllers. If your machine requires intervention on its existing electronics, the workshop can handle this with the assembly package.
