The heart of this innovation lies in HEX’s ezCAN product, privately labeled as MotoCAN for Lone Rider, which will be powered by HEX’s groundbreaking ezBUS technology. Designed to simplify the installation process, ezBUS reduces wiring complexity, allowing riders to control and manage their auxiliary lights and other accessories through a centralized system. This seamless integration means greater convenience for motorcyclists, eliminating the need for extensive wiring, and ensuring a clean, efficient setup.

Hi, how many circuits on the motoCAN will the lights need for the full functionality?? also will there be functionality for the ring DRL’s to act as independent indicators

Thanks.
Hi Bumble-Bee

This is our second ezBUS affiliate device we're releasing, so both lights will be driven by the white output (and you can add an AdMore Link as well to have 3 outputs on the white output, driving 2 x MotoLights and the AdMore brake light).

The lights are quite revolutionary in that you have 4 different lights in one, the ring DRL can be set to indicate independently with the turn signals, and operate normally as a DRL as well, with the wide beam able to act as a spread light, while the narrow beam acts as a focus/high beam, and the spot comes one with BEAST mode, basically allowing you to see 3 days into the future.

Kind regards
 
I was worried that the lights would eat up all 4 channels of the EzCan - but I’m pleased to hear that’s not the case.

Thanks.

By my interpretation the standard gen II Ezcan works in a different way for example i have to use 3 circuits to get a similar functionality but the motoCAN with the ezBUS technology you only need 1 circuit

The ezCAN and MotoCAN will work the same in using only the ezBUS output (white output), unfortunately, this will not be compatible with the Denali CANsmart. More info available in their video:

Kind regards
 
“All Gen-II ezCAN devices come with this functionality, allowing the WHITE channel to act as the HEX ezBUS.”

 
Thank you for your response, one last question, why the white output?? is it built as the main output or does it give the biggest power output ?

Thanks.
 
“The white power circuit of every Generation || Hex ezCAN has built-in ezBUS functionality. This means that as well as providing the same power and control functions as the red, blue and yellow circuits, it also accommodates data communication.”

(From the Hex EzCan user manual)
 
The white output is the one used for aligning heated kit with the grips, etc so it follows that it’ll be the canbus link.

Hi Andrew

That's correct, all Gen II ezCANs have the ezBUS built into the white output, but affiliate ezBUS devices are subject to the approval from white labeled products. More about this was mentioned in LoneRider's live stream on Instagram, but effectively it was not LoneRider's choice to exclude CANsmarts.

Kind regards

The white output is not restricted for heated gear, it can be used as any of the ezCAN configuration outputs (except 3-wire accessories such as dashcams), but it is also the ezBUS, which is used (currently) to drive the AdMore Link for the tail light, and MotoLights. This allows 1 output to drive something that would generally take 3-4 outputs.

Kind regards
