A lifted Can-Am Defender on big tires or portals looks great, but cranking the wheel in deep mud or a tight turn can feel like an upper-body workout. The EZ-Steer Series 6 power steering kit fixes that with a 600-watt electric motor, the strongest single-battery EPS kit available, so even 50"+ tires turn easily without adding a second battery.
Highlights
- 600-watt motor, no second battery needed
- Steers 50"+ tires with ease
- Eliminates steering feedback and kickback
- Sealed input and output shafts keep out water, dirt and sand
- Waterproof IP67 control box and connectors
- Compact control box for easier mounting
- No soldering required
- Pairs perfectly with GDP portals
- 3-year warranty
Dominate Any Terrain
Thick mud, rock gardens and log crossings all try to rip the wheel out of your hands. The Series 6 motor powers through the heaviest muck and soaks up the jolts from rocks and roots, so the wheel stays steady and your arms stay fresh at the end of the day.
Built for Wet Places
If you can't stay out of the creek, this is the kit for you. Fully sealed shafts and an IP67 control box keep moisture out of the electronics, and the same seals block dirt and sand that would otherwise wear the system out over time.
Tested Hard
The 600-watt motor was put through extensive lab testing and hard trail abuse to find its limits, and it didn't overheat or drain the machine's battery. That's why it carries a 3-year warranty.
Which Power Steering Kit?
If your Defender runs stock or modestly larger tires, a lower-wattage EZ-Steer kit offers the same features in a smaller package. Choose the Series 6 for big lifts, portals, 35"+ tires and heavy mud.
Why Electric Power Steering Matters
- Less fatigue: long work days and long trail days are easier on your arms and shoulders
- More control: the motor damps out kickback from rocks, ruts and roots, so the wheel doesn't jerk in your hands
- Bigger tires: wider, heavier tires and portals add a lot of steering effort; EPS takes it back out
- Safer in tight spots: easier low-speed turns when you're maneuvering around equipment, gates and trailers
Single Battery, Big Power
Many high-output EPS units need a second battery to keep up. The Series 6 is designed to deliver 600 watts from the factory charging system, which keeps the install simpler and leaves room in the machine for other accessories.
Good to Know
Check that your battery and charging system are healthy before installing, and keep connections clean and tight. A weak battery is the most common cause of reduced steering assist on any EPS system.
Pairs With Portals
Portal gear lifts move the tire contact patch and add big tires, both of which make steering much heavier. The Series 6 was designed with that in mind and is the usual pick for Defenders running portals and 35" or larger tires. It mounts in the steering column area, so it works alongside portals, lifts and long travel kits without changing the suspension.

Who It's For and What Pairs Well
