Even though I replied to @Cyklefanatic in the other PLANET3 thread, since someone might read this one, too - I'll just cover the sanding and lubricating does and don'ts again: basically, it's a don't on both counts. :) The surface you sanded is never actually in contact with anything and is...

For some reason I have not received a single notification regarding replies to this thread after my initial post. I did some random Googling today since someone send me a photo of a supposedly worn out PLANET3 which turned out to not be PLANET3 at all, but a copy of some sort :) In any case, my...

Oh, you guys are having quite a little PLANET3 party over here. :D Most of the reviews and positive feedback is on Facebook groups for Levo/Kenevo. I guess forum folk haven't really felt a need to write their overwhelmingly positive experiences. :p (and I'm not the one to poke and prod them...

I got 52 km/h here before having to brake and I wasn't out of the seat and pedaling anywhere near full force etc.: If you get a larger front chainring and don't mind using turbo you can get up to 60 km/h and sustain it. The assistance speed limit is 83,75 km/h, but we don't have the leg power...

It kinda depends on the gradients of terrain you ride.. When I switched from the Levo to Vado on tarmac I literally couldn't spend the battery. It's so much more efficient at rolling that I always rode trail or turbo and never even worried about the range. But it's not San Francisco.. mostly...

No problemo. I don't see why I wouldn't be. :)

It's been working since January and it'll keep working for 10k+ km. Software doesn't detect anything. If you're too worried about the mismatch between the charge cycles and distance driven, you can order a dual planet configuration that has half the ratio but will still increase your assistance...

@MarcoVado it is already available.. it's just pre-orders via e-mails instead of the webshop :) If anyone wants one it's enough to just send an e-mail and one goes out the same day.

Here are some pics of the Como I tested on, including some close-ups of the device installed on the bike.

Hi Bob, Yes.. it can be sometimes, even though I've tried to include all the details. Basically, the only Como that isn't compatible is the one that has a Center Lock rotor and hub. It seems that the 2020 Como 3.0 is just a regular 6-bolt hub & rotor combination which makes it compatible. For...

@MarktheC, I can't believe I didn't think of this! :) Brilliant idea and yes, it should be possible for me to make the combination of ring gear and sun gear splines to give a ratio that's very close to the mph-to-kmh difference. I'll get back to you on this tomorrow. @rob_s, yeah. This is true...

Here's a little demonstration video I recorded yesterday on the 2018 Turbo Vado 3.0. What I failed to mention is that the calculated range is going to continue to work, you just need to reset your distance counter after the PLANET3 is installed because the new distances are going to be 3x...

I might be a little late to the party, but anyone interested should check out https://planet3.bike/ if you don't find your "speed limits" to your liking. :)

The two-planet device is going to be a little extra (10 EUR) since you're getting a few more items: second planet with a magnet but also two more outer "positioning" magnets which are used to check if you correctly installed the planets in a 180° phase or if they moved/jumped slightly during the...

Hello peeps! I've got this: https://planet3.bike/ Maybe some of you would be interested. Specific models for Vado & Como (however, not for the Como models that come with Center Lock hubs/brake rotors, only 6-bolt). It just works, easily installed and removed if needed, doesn't void your...

Hi everyone, I was just searching online how to connect my Vado 4.0 to Mission Control (and subsequently to BLevo) for demonstration purposes of PLANET3 and found this thread. Lots of useful info and it seems TCD-W is the way to go for me, too! However, during reading of the thread I see some...
