Smart Controller. Smooth Ride. Safe Operation.
Precision engineering for commercial electric fleets — from golf courses to mountain resorts.
FOC Vector Control – The Heart of a Smooth Ride
Traditional DC controllers deliver jerky acceleration and poor low-speed control — uncomfortable for guests and hard on components. Sun-Cart's Field-Oriented Control (FOC) algorithm changes that.
How FOC works: FOC independently controls motor torque and magnetic flux, delivering precise torque output at any speed — from 0 to 25 mph.
| Feature | FOC Vector Control (Sun-Cart) | Traditional Control (Competitors) |
|---|---|---|
| Low-speed control | Smooth, precise | Jerky, prone to cogging |
| Acceleration linearity | Linear, predictable | Step-like, uncomfortable |
| Torque at 0 rpm | 100% available | Limited |
| Efficiency at low speed | High | Poor |
| Noise level | <65dB | 70-80dB |
| Regenerative braking | Yes, seamless | Limited or none |
💡 Guest experience difference: With FOC, the cart starts smoothly from a stop — no sudden lurch. On hills, torque is delivered instantly without hesitation. Your guests notice the difference.
CAN Bus Communication – Smart Diagnostics for Less Downtime
Fleet downtime costs money. Sun-Cart's full CAN bus architecture keeps your operation running.
What CAN bus does: Real-time data exchange between battery, motor, and controller; Self-diagnosis — identifies issues instantly; Fault code storage — technicians know exactly what failed; Remote monitoring — optional telematics integration.
| Benefit | Impact |
|---|---|
| Faster troubleshooting | 50% less diagnostic time |
| Predictive maintenance | Catch issues before they cause breakdowns |
| Less downtime | Most issues resolved on first visit |
| Lower service cost | No guesswork — replace only what failed |
⚙️ For fleet managers: Connect a diagnostic tool and read fault codes in seconds. No need to ship the controller back to China for analysis — your local tech can diagnose on site.
Three Drive Modes – Adapt to Any Terrain
One controller. Three personalities. Select the mode that matches your application.
| Mode | Best For | Throttle Response | Top Speed | Regeneration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eco 🌿 | Flat terrain, light loads, max range | Soft | Limited | High |
| Standard ⚖️ | Daily mixed use, general fleet operations | Balanced | Standard | Medium |
| Sport 🏎️ | Hills, heavy loads, urgent response | Aggressive | Full | Low |
💡 Application tip: Set Eco mode for golf courses (max range), Standard for community shuttles, Sport for hilly resorts. Your drivers can switch as needed.
Hill Descent Control – Safety on Slopes
Mountain resorts and hilly communities demand extra safety. Sun-Cart's hill descent control automatically limits downhill speed without constant braking.
Key benefits: Reduces brake wear by up to 40%; Prevents runaway speeds on steep terrain; Maintains controlled descent even with full passenger load; Driver can override with throttle if needed.
⛰️ Real-world performance: On a 20% grade with 4 passengers, our controller maintains 8-10 mph descent speed automatically — no brake pumping required.
Programmable Speed Limits – LSV Ready
Different locations have different speed regulations. Sun-Cart's controller lets you program the maximum speed to match local requirements — no hardware changes needed.
| Application | Typical Speed Limit | LSV Compliance |
|---|---|---|
| Golf courses | 15 mph (25 km/h) | Not required |
| Gated communities | 19 mph (30 km/h) | LSV compliant |
| Neighborhood streets | 25 mph (40 km/h) | LSV compliant |
| Resort / hotel grounds | 15-20 mph | Depends on local rules |
| Industrial / campus | 25 mph | LSV compliant |
⚖️ Compliance guarantee: Our controllers are programmed to meet LSV (Low-Speed Vehicle) requirements for the US market. We provide documentation for local DMV registration if needed.
Built for Tough Conditions – IP66 Waterproof Rating
Electric golf carts operate outdoors — in rain, snow, dust, and daily pressure washing. Sun-Cart controllers are built to survive.
IP66 rating means: Dust-tight — no ingress of dust; Protected against powerful water jets — can withstand direct pressure washing; Rain and snow proof — full outdoor operation.
| Condition | Test Method | Result |
|---|---|---|
| High-pressure wash | Direct spray at 100 bar, 3 minutes | No water ingress |
| Dust chamber | 8 hours in fine dust | No dust ingress |
| Salt spray | 48 hours, 5% salt solution | No corrosion |
| Vibration | 10-500 Hz, 2G | No loosening or damage |
| Temperature | -30°C to 70°C storage | Full function |
🔧 Install anywhere: Mount the controller under the seat, behind the dash, or in the battery compartment — it's sealed against whatever the environment throws at it.
