A micromobility transit vehicle may include a wheel, an electric motor associated with the wheel, and a motor controller configured to control a motive force provided by the electric motor to the wheel. The motor controller may include a printed circuit board (PCB), one or more MOSFETs attached to the PCB, and a respective aperture defined through the PCB below each MOSFET. The motor controller may include a thermal assembly associated with each MOSFET and capable of dissipating heat from the MOSFETs to a heat sink. Each thermal assembly may include a heat transfer plug positioned at least partially within an associated aperture of the PCBA to contact an associated MOSFET, and a thermal interface material positioned between the heat transfer plug and the heat sink and capable of dissipating heat from the heat transfer plug to the heat sink.
