An update.
1) First I tried the LSS on my friends Levo S-Works and standard LSS does not fit - I think it has the same axle diameter as the Levo Expert though I didn't have calipers to check.
Question for jd_3d - It seems really important for the Sun Gear not to rotate on the hub. I am surprised there is no rotation on the sun gear on fairly slippery hub using the standard LSS on the levo comp - is it a super snug fit or what stops it rotating?
Great feedback, thanks! So, when you say the LSS does not fit on the Levo S-Works, are you saying it hits the frame? Like the frame doesn't have as much clearance? Just trying to understand if its a frame clearance issue, or if it is just that the axle is a smaller diameter like on the Expert model.
To answer your other question, on my Levo Comp Carbon the Sun Gear fits very tight on the hub so its for sure not rotating. But also note that the forces on the gear are extremely small, it's only the magnet / planetary gear moving around, so the sun gear it has little motivation to rotate.
great solution. For those using it, I have a question - does the bike behave the same? I'm just wondering if the usual firmware/sensor setup offers differing support depending on speed/torque/pedal rotation settings (around the general level you've chosen) or if it's linear all the way through. If the latter then it'll make no difference, but if the former, then it will give different power inputs to the usual - which may not be worse, but would be different.
And for cruising on the flat, has anyone changed their final gear on the cassette so as not to spin too fast - if so, what to?
On my BH with Brose motor, I put a magnet on the end of the pedal spindle on the back side of the crank arm, and unbolted the pickup sensor from the inside of the chain stay and zip tied it to the outside of the chain stay.[...]
Hi how do I purchased one of these? I’m in the uk? Can you send me the link please if there is one cheers
i wonder if that would work with my bosch motor....its the same set-up as yours with the bolted sensor on the inside of the chainstayOn my BH with Brose motor, I put a magnet on the end of the pedal spindle on the back side of the crank arm, and unbolted the pickup sensor from the inside of the chain stay and zip tied it to the outside of the chain stay. Now it uses the pedal rotation and not the wheel rotation and I can pedal to over 30 mph/50 kph. $1 for the magnet.......The magnet I used is 12 mm X 4 mm and it's about 20 mm from the pickup.

Give it a try only takes 10-15 minutes to do it.i wonder if that would work with my bosch motor....its the same set-up as yours with the bolted sensor on the inside of the chainstay
OR......The freestyle!Russian style.
Does the display then show actual speed or a lower speed.Give it a try only takes 10-15 minutes to do it.

I got Bosch motor not Bose.......cube emtb running Bosch active line plus motorAs the magnet turns slower around which makes the bike believe it goes slower than the actual speed it would mean that the speed on the display would also be incorrect. However when using the BLEvo app you could choose a setting for using GPS instead or the bike data. @PaoloBLEvo maybe can even add a LSS option in BLEvo which would display the speed always correctly.

How do I connect Blevo to the Bosch motor.....there no Bluetooth or ant+ connectivity in the Bosch motorIf you like you can even use the BLEvo app for your Bosch (however much less powerfull then in combination with a Levo or Kenevo) where it's acting as a display displaying GPS speed, total km's and duration where you can use the map and GPX route feature too.

I got Garmin for all that......For the basic functions you don’t need any connection. You can even use BLEvo on a non-assisted bike but again it will only be basic functions so if you just search for a display (which shows actual speed, duration and distance) plus a map function you could consider BLEvo.
