Yep, 2 different products. 3:1 is PLANET3, 1.5:1 is Speedi. Agreed on the jumping, that and starting from a stoplight followed by a truck going into something tight with a wall on the side (underpass) are the two most common nightmares with a restricted bike (at least for me).
Yes, but as @checksum said - there still remains the issue of very low gear speed vs. cadence which over time as your rack up enough time outside the "allowed" map of speed and cadence will likely cause a limp mode error.
If those modes use the speed as one of the variables for adjusting the...
You might be taking what I said too literally. They're looking for you pedaling without the motor providing power at or around the speed limit :) If you hit 25-26 km/h and simply keep it there, that satisfies the condition they've set - but never running into a speed limit power cut is what they...
The distance and strength don't really matter so long as it's enough to close the reed switch inside the sensor. If your bike was reading distance but not speed, it wasn't the fault of the speed sensor - it was the result of the error. You are already aware of the potential problem with the low...
Yesterday I raced a GASGAS ECC 6 vs. a Gen2 Turbo Levo S-Works and I can tell you the SRAM doesn't provide any more power. What I think is happening is that one is quoting mechanical power output while the other is quoting electric power output (before the losses). Basically, Specialized will...
As stated a few posts above, PLANET3 still works, is unintrusive BUT the speed display would be 66% of real i.e. 1/3 less. I'm not sure how that's a dealbreaker for anything other than going uphill, but even then.. I've got a Levo with a MasterMind TCU which displays speed at the same location...
I'd turn your attention to the bottom of the page at PLANET3 - mechanical e-bike derestriction device regarding the warranty. If there was a problem with the device, you simply send an email to me and it's taken care of. However, saying something is fragile and disintegrates of its own volition...
MTT being expensive as usual :ROFLMAO:
In any case.. if you're OK with a 50% bump in assistance speed limit, then there's also this: Instinct/Altitude PowerPlay A30/A50/A70/C70/C90 - PLANET3 (please read the DESCRIPTION in detail).
27 users (for now) running it on 2022 Rocky e-bikes without...
Well, I don't know if full derestriction is the only thing that is satisfactory BUT if it's not then I've got 27 users currently running PLANET3s on their 2022 Rocky e-bikes with a 50% bump in assistance speed limit.
For more details please read the description and watch the video on this...
@Bigtuna00 summed it up pretty well, except for the small detail that Levociraptor does in fact achieve the smaller wheel circumference by changing the value of that parameter in the firmware outside the scope of what's possible with Turbo Studio by the dealer. Specialized Rider Care has...
I can't really follow the logic that arrives at this conclusion. PLANET3 is actually the same price, isn't a copy (no matter what others would like to believe), has double the ratio, comes with everything needed for it to work, is covered by a 1 year or 10k miles warranty and is shipped via DHL...
They do one thing and that is to provide alignment of the hub axle hole and the lower legs axle holes when you're putting in the wheel. However, they don't hold anything and they do rattle and make noise. I've removed them on one of my bikes, too. They should've really come up with an insert...
MTT only looks superior until you realize it costs 300 EUR, can only be paired with one bike and never transferred to another and almost certainly voids your warranty. But hey.. that's only my opinion. :)
Hi @Cyclingwilly. After reading all of your concerns, I'd sum it up like this: if you can afford a full suspension bike in any way possible - you should get it and put all your worries and concerns aside. Simply put, your quality of riding (and quality of life) will go up so drastically that the...
Nope. At least not with this configuration where the ring gear is the input of motion, and the other one is protected. :) If you'd like more speed, you're welcome to come to me!
However, @LD.MTB - nice work! It looks like you actually have involute splines and everything. Far better work than...
Well, for what the "public" knows - the first PLANET3 units went out at the beginning of July, so people haven't had a chance to rack up the miles yet. But privately, I've had the first unit ever produced in January still running on my bike. Combined riding and testing in walk mode is over 10...
