PLANET3 and PLANET3-E are two innovative solutions that significantly enhance the performance of your Specialized Turbo Levo Gen3 e-bike. The mechanical PLANET3 device employs a unique planetary gear set that manipulates the rotation speed of the wheel speed sensor’s magnet, making the bike believe it’s moving slower than its actual speed. This clever trick allows the bike to assist you at higher speeds, effectively raising the pedal assist speed limit.
On the other hand, the PLANET3-E is an electronic chip that integrates seamlessly with the Turbo Levo’s motor and speed sensor. It maintains accurate speed and distance readouts, even when the bike is moving faster than the original speed limit. This chip is updateable via Bluetooth, making it a future-proof solution for e-bike enthusiasts.
For the Turbo Levo Gen3, PLANET3 offers a dual planet configuration as a default setting, providing a more realistic range of rear wheel rotation speed. This makes your Turbo Levo more compatible with future firmware updates from Specialized.
In essence, both PLANET3 and PLANET3-E offer a way to unlock the full potential of your Turbo Levo, giving you a more powerful, efficient, and enjoyable ride. Whether you prefer the mechanical ingenuity of PLANET3 or the electronic precision of PLANET3-E, these devices ensure that your e-bike experience is unrestricted and exhilarating.
