Vall-E+ 3
PLANET3 is a planetary gear set which reduces the rotation speed of the magnet used by the wheel speed sensor three times. For every three full rotations of the rear wheel, the magnet completes just one full rotation - effectively making the bike think it's doing 1/3 the speed it is actually doing, thus increasing the pedal assist speed limit by a factor of 3. For the Specialized models sold on EU/UK market this translates into a speed limit increase from 25 to 75 km/h (15.5 to 47 mph), while the US and Canada models limit is raised from 20 to 60 mph.
The video below shows the installation of PLANET3 on Giant Talon which is basically the same (besides the part where I relocate the speed sensor as this isn't needed on Vall-E+ 3).
Contents
1 x PLANET3 device consisting of sun gear, ring gear and 2x planet gear (with magnets)
3 x M5x10 ISO 14580 bolt with pre-applied Loctite 268
