Yes you can upgrade the system to a "controller" set up. You would need a "controller" (Curtis makes a very easily to install unit), a "pot box" (Curtis also makes a managable assy called a PB-6, that has the potentiometer and micro switch to activate the solenoid). The hardest part is the location of the controller, those G5 battery compartments are pretty tight. Good luck

SB, you beat me to it, i have wanted to convert a sunclassic for a long time. SPM800 ??? but i might add, you could save the cost of a PB-6 by installing resistors and a capacitor to the speed board, kinda like a clubcar v-glide.

I too have a 1990 G5E, and want to upgrade to a solid state system. When I look at controllers I get confused a little. Is the electric motor on the Sun Classic a series or a shunt motor? Also what sort of amp capacity should the controller have, may want to upgrade motor later.

G5 is definitely Series. 400a would be a good choice, not too much for the stock motor, good enough for upgraded motor.
