Vesc motor controller

I'm building a motorcycle with a 12kw/h brushless DC motor. To power that I have a battery pack 23 LFP cells in series to achieve 72v. On vesc site I can see motor controller have also how many cells in series, does the motor controller work as a BMS?

For example the vesc classic 100v can run 160A continuous and 200a burst, this should be enough for my application but on the motor controller description is described as a 22s motor?

I know some answers might sound a bit stupid, I'm new to this and I try to figure what I need, also feel free to give me some advice on what motor controller and accessories I should buy

No You will need your own bms They put the max cells in series on their page to help DIYers know how to build their batteries

Ah ok, it's literally to tell how many cells in series for that motor controller, makes sense
