VEHICLE CONTROLLER

The DS electric vehicle is equipped with either a Solid State Speed Controller (PowerDrive System 48 and
PowerDrive Plus), or a V-Glide Speed Controller (36-Volt Vehicle).
In order to properly service and maintain the Solid State Controller vehicle or the V-Glide Speed Controller
vehicle, it is necessary to understand the electrical circuitry and the functions of all components in both sys-
tems. Therefore, if any repair or servicing needs to be performed, we recommend that it be performed by an
authorized Club Car distributor/dealer using Club Car OEM parts.
