can I fit a VESC in my e-skate?

I have a BoardUp Bolt+, a foldable electric skateboard.
The metallic battery case, as shown in photo, hosts a 10S2P li-ion battery and an ESC and a 12.5 x 8 x 1.8 cm space containing the ESC.
Each wheel contains a 300W hub motor and has a big black "cable" including a set of 3 medium-sized + 3 little-sized cables.

Questions:
- can I replace the ESC with a VESC in this case?
- do I need 1 or 2 VESC?
- do I need some extra adapters for the cables?

You can replace the ESC with a VESC .

You need two VESCs, or dual VESC as Unity.

It is not recomended to use  extra adapters, instead cable-cable soldering and insulating them will provide more empty space and robustness.
