eBike Tuning Kit Planet3 for Brose Specialized Turbo Kenevo Expert 2018-2019 Gen1
Description
Planet3 is an easily installed and reversible way to derestrict your eBike. It uses a purely mechanical design utilizing a patent pending planetary gear set which makes it undetectable to the eBike's electronic gizmos and gives you full control over the choice of speed at which you want to ride your eBike.
No more pushing through pudding after hitting the speed limit, virtually no maintenance and no worries. Just you and your eBike - the way it was meant to be!
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 UK/EU market this translates into a speed limit increase from 15.5 to 47 mph (25 to 75 kmh), while the US and Canada models limit is raised from 20 to 60 mph.
Hub compatibility:
Stock (DHT-148S) - Specialized hub that comes stock on the eBike. See picture in the gallery.
DT Swiss/Roval - Any hub with a simple 19 mm diameter end cap profile (Roval, DT Swiss, Syntace, Stan's NEO).
Hope Pro4 - Comes with a CNC machined replacement end cap for the Hope Pro4 boost hub.
Brake disc compatibility:
Stock - Shimano or Tektro flat 1-piece steel rotors.
Hope Floating - Likely to work on this bike only when paired to a Hope Pro4 boost hub.
Shimano XT - Shimano SM-RT76 or SM-RT86 two-piece rotor.
Magura - Shimano SM-RT76 or SM-RT86 two-piece rotor.
Most IS 6-bolt rotors on the market including Shimano XT & XT Ice Tech, SRAM Centerline and all other flat steel rotors. PLANET3 is not compatible with thick center carrier rotors such as Hope Saw and Floating rotors.
Service life & warranty: 10 000 mi / 15 000 km or 1 year.
Physical damage by outside factors such as rock strikes, caught branches and sticks is not covered by warranty. Buyer accepts the risk that crashing or having a branch caught between a rotor and a frame can damage a plastic device and this will not be covered by warranty.

Step one:
If you have a Specialized Vado, Como, Levo HT, Levo Gen1 or Kenevo Gen1 – you will not need a replacement sensor carrier and your PLANET3 will arrive without one. Your sensor is located in the dropout itself in its designated location and cannot be relocated; however, your PLANET3 device is also larger in diameter and takes this into account. You would need to skip the first step of the video installation instructions (sensor carrier replacement) and continue with the hub part of the installation. Also, if you have a Shimano brake rotor on the bike – please, remove all of their interlocking washers that are under the bolt heads. The upper surface of the rotor has to be clean too.
Step two:
To deal with a rather specific and very rare problem of bolt-head eccentricity during tightening; there has been an update to the sun gear design of the PLANET3 in May 2020 and all of the devices were updated to the same 3-bolt design.
The following video explains the differences and two ways to install it. We would recommend to place the sun gear on top first and then drive the 3 provided bolts through it. This will ensure it’s flat against the rotor. It is common mistake to leave it up in the air a bit at one of the bolt heads which can cause it to contact the ring gear during rotation.
Step three:
We would recommend to pay attention to the installation depth of the ring gear too.
During your installation we would highly recommend for you to perform the empty device test as outlined at the end of the previous video. If there is no scraping sounds of plastic on plastic – you’re good to go, your frame is not at risk, you have correctly gauged the installation depth of the ring gear and PLANET3 should never wear out.
Be aware to be careful in the last step too when you put the wheel back into the bike. You could hit the PLANET3 ring gear against the frame or sensor when you’re aiming the disc into the calipers. So we recommend to do everything really gently during all installation process.
