So here we are, wrapping up 2025. As people like to say in moments like this: “It wasn’t an easy year.”
At times, our company felt less like an engineering team and more like a high-readiness emergency response unit. But it is what it is — apparently, this is our path: rough, demanding, but with a great view along the way.
Still, we continue to put in maximum effort to move forward and deliver new developments for you, no matter what. The future won’t build itself. And yes, news often comes out much slower than things actually happen inside the company — simply because sometimes it’s easier to fix something than to write about it.
So this is a rare moment to pause, take a breath, and share a short but intense overview of what turned out to be a very busy engineering year for Nucular.
Alright, charged up and let’s go! 🚀
New X6F High-Power Controller
Hallelujah — development of the new “six” is finally coming to an end.
How many engineering prototypes we went through along the way is hard to remember — and probably best left forgotten. For context, sales of the second revision of the 6F controller were paused back in August 2020. Five long years later, we are finally launching production of a completely new controller: X6F. Photos of prototypes for testing.
The X6F is built around next-generation top-cooled MOSFETs. These power components use a thermal interface on the top side, allowing direct heat transfer to the heatsink while bypassing the PCB. The result is significantly improved thermal performance, higher power density, and a smaller board footprint.
To make this happen, we visited quite a few factories in China — and it was worth it.
The final controller is only slightly larger than a credit card, yet capable of delivering:
up to 250A phase current
up to 200A battery current
At a maximum voltage of 90V, that translates into 15 kW of peak power. Scooter riders — rejoice. The photo shows the removable radiator of the new X6F.
Another important change: no loose wires. All connections on the X6F use JWPF connectors, following the P24F approach. Clean, neat, and grown-up.
The launch of mass production is scheduled for the start of the new season. However, testing for projects with a 22S battery is already available — feel free to contact us.
Battery Management System (BMS 24S)
After — hard to believe — seven years of development, we are finally approaching active public testing of the 24S BMS.
This battery management system is one of the core components of the Nucular ecosystem, and it’s time to lift the curtain on some of its key engineering features.
The BMS 24S architecture was designed as modular from day one.
The power stage is separated from the balancing circuitry and powered by an isolated supply. A dedicated microcontroller manages the power MOSFETs, measures voltages, and monitors temperatures.
Special attention was paid to ultra-fast hardware short-circuit protection.
Thanks to the isolated power supply, gate breakdown of the MOSFETs becomes virtually impossible — the supply “floats” together with the gate voltages.
This design allows the battery to be disconnected on both the positive and negative sides, significantly increasing reliability, flexibility, and scalability of the power stage.
The balancers are stackable:
base board: 24S
expandable up to 144S in 12S steps
no architectural hacks required
And of course, this is far from everything. We focused on integrating engineering solutions that actually matter in real-world use. A full feature overview will come once testing is complete.
If you’d like to take part in the testing, feel free to reach out.
Bluetooth Module & App
We continue to actively develop our Android and iOS app, which allows full controller management via Bluetooth module directly from your smartphone.
The design is still far from perfect — intentionally. For now, we prioritize functionality, stability, and predictabilityover visual polish. Interfaces can be repainted; bugs are harder to fix.
Yes, we know. The display matrix of our onboard computer hasn’t been updated… pretty much ever. By 2025, it strongly resembles Tetris — without bonus levels.
That said, it still does its job: good contrast, no glare in sunlight, and clear speed readout.
The good news: we’re actively collecting your feedback and working on a new compact color display, planned for release in 2026 — this time without 90s nostalgia.
Along the way, we also teamed up with EggRider. After discussing technology (and sharing a beer), the result was integration of our LEVCAN protocol into the EggRider C1 color display.
Nucular controllers and EggRider displays are now officially compatible — mutual respect confirmed.
Another major milestone was entering the electric motor market. We developed our own prototype motor for the Sur-Ron Light Bee and E Ride Pro SS 2.0, which will be tested by a world speed record holder of Sur-Ron LB this January. We’re genuinely curious to see the real-world numbers.
If all goes according to plan, motors for Talaria Sting and Talaria XXX will follow.
At the same time, we’ve been developing a new line of electric scooter motors. Early test results are promising — in some parameters, they outperform solutions currently used by market leaders. Paired with the new X6F controller, this combination looks especially exciting.
More details soon. No spoilers yet 😉
Throttle lever development
Another project completed this year is our original throttle.
Technically a thumb throttle — but ergonomically designed to follow the natural movement of your thumb. No strain. No fatigue. No urge to switch hands after long rides.
After testing dozens of prototypes and hundreds of design variations, we assembled the first production batch. The throttle is available in left-hand and right-hand versions and connects via true Plug & Play to our On-board computer.
Sales will start right after patent registration. Almost there.
Patents, Certification & Compliance
The industrial design of P24F and the Nucular brand are now officially protected in 30 countries. And that’s not all — we’re on the final stretch toward CE certification. Paperwork may not be fun, but we want to prepare our products for industrial solutions that require enhanced reliability.
Firmware Updates
2025 wasn’t particularly rich in major firmware releases. We focused on testing and refining version 0.8.14 dev, which enables higher maximum speed. This year, the main work focused on supporting the X6F controller, updating the sensorless mode, and improving error diagnostics.
The On-board computer firmware 0.82B_dev.21 continues to evolve and now includes GPS support for marine applications — so no adventure goes untracked. And most importantly, when a GPS module is connected, the screen info lines will show not only your heading, but also the time :-)
Student Engineering Projects
We actively support student projects worldwide — because for us, engineering is not just a job, it’s a passion.
This year, we partnered with several Universities and participated in an international robotics competition. While our team exited in the round of 16, we gained invaluable experience, fresh ideas, and strong motivation for the next season.
If you’re passionate about engineering projects, there’s a dedicated collaboration page on our website. Let’s build the future together.
Electric Go-Karts & Surfboards
Next year, we plan to complete development of our own electric go-kart. Our controllers and BMS's are already used in several huge electric karting indoor tracks, making this a logical next step.
Another exciting direction is electric surfboards. Our partners have completed development of a water-jet system paired with P24F, with market launch planned for the next season — along with new Nucular surfboards. Photo of prototype.
Looking Ahead
That’s how another Nucular engineering year came to an end — intense, dynamic, and full of experimentation. We wish you confidence, resilience, and the drive to turn your ideas into reality in the year ahead.
May your projects move forward as confidently as our controllers push builds across asphalt, water, sand, and air!
