• Warning!!

    Riding a tuned or deristricted EMTB is not a trivial offence and can have serious legal consequences. Also, many manufacturers can detect the use of a tuning device or deristricting method and may decline a repair under warranty if it was modified from the intended original specification. Deristricting EMTB's can also add increased loads for motors and batteries. Riding above the local law limit may reclassify the bike as a low-powered bike, requiring insurance, registration and a number plate.

    Be aware of your local country laws. Many laws prohibit use of modified EMTB's. It is your responsibility to check local laws. Ignoring it, has potential implications to trail access, and risk of prosecution in the event of an accident.

Is there 2 companies selling the plastic planetary Gear that will increase speed? (I believe it slow the rear magnet down) I only can find one, but thought I saw another brand a month ago?
If there are 2 which one works better?

Hi @BigFoot, I created the LSS (I'm not a company or anything just a member on this forum) and have a ton more info here including how to buy it:

I'm not aware of anyone else that has yet copied my design and is selling it, but if you do find someone who has copied it I would be interested in hearing about it. So for now there is only 1 (and I hope it stays that way) :). Let me know if you have any questions.

Will this work with 2019 turbo Levo expert original wheel set ?

And will I work with a wheel set that I built that uses DT Swiss 240s center lock Boost hub and Shimano rotors?

Where do I order the magnet and mechanical unit?

Thanks

Hi @BigFoot, yes the LSS DT will work with the Levo Expert and you can order it here:

LSS DT - Planetary Gear Set by JD_3D on Shapeways

The LSS and LSS DT are designed for the stock brake rotor so the clip mechanism doesn't work on other rotors, however a few people are running aftermarket rotors and have used screws to affix the gear housing (ring gear) to the rotor such as this:

The magnet you can buy at Amazon, for instance I got these:
