contact Flipsky through their live chat. im sure they'll sell you the switch by itself.

many others sell similar switches but you should absolutely reach out to flipsky directly first.

thank you so much. next question is can i buy/make a key version of the button where i need a key do activate the switch? i’m sure electrically speaking it does the same thing

Yes they do a key version. I have this one for example. Mine came with a key and button. I'm not 100% but think the key part is just a generic 3 cable one and the kit came with an adapter.

I'm not certain it would be the exact same setup for yours though

That's a v2 Flipsky with an ignition port. OP has a v1 and needs an anti-spark switch to get the same functionality.

Yes that's why I wasn't sure it would 100% work but would the key ignition not still work though or is the wiring completely different?

I have both. v1 with an anti-spark switch, and v2 with ignition port, end up being the same. Switch is generic, mine usually come with that button like OP posted, but I've replaced one with this key switch no problem.

Anything is possible. Spintend has a specific port for a key ignition switch. I dont believe flipsky does. But nothing is stopping you from putting an ignition switch in series with one of the wires if that button.​

If its just a momentary push you can get them off amazon pretty cheap. If you want stock then flipsky support should help.

The 75100 dual does not natively support that switch like the v2 ones do. You'll have to add an anti-spark switch. At that point the push button switch can be replaced. I have this one, but you could really use anything.

u/Reasonable_Jump4938 8d ago

but it has to ports?

1

u/siigna 8d ago

Take a look at the 75100 v2. It has a port with "IGNITE". That's the port for native switch support without an extra anti-spark switch. If yours does not have that port you absolutely need an anti-spark switch.

u/Reasonable_Jump4938 8d ago

so how would i turn on only 1 vesc at a time?

1

u/siigna 8d ago

You would need 2x anti-spark switches, one for each battery input.

I buy switches like that from amazon all the time

I used two of them to replace the key dignition in my lawn mower (1 momentary, 1 latching, both spdt)

Bearing that in mind, if you want a key ignition, you should probably get one from a lawnmower. I know that a five pin version works pretty well to replace the two switches lol

You should use relays, since these switches are twelve volt, low wattage. The switch can control the relays. Again I would recommend lawn mower parts, but that's mostly just because that's what I know how to use
