I've been gone for a long time as I've been riding my Aethos for the past year. I just saw Alex's reply and I agree with his response to me. Also nice to know the worn out one was a copy. I think I'd buy a Planet 3 now, except for the fact that I barely ride my Creo now. The Creo rides very nicely and much more like a regular bike than most ebikes.
But, the Aethos just has a sublime ride quality compared to the Creo. The Aethos is the best bike I've ever had and I prefer to ride it over the Creo. Yes, it doesn't have a motor, but I find I generally don't need one. Besides with the 32 km/hr. limit we have in Canada I find when I'm on the flats I'm cruising at faster than 32 km/hr anyways. The Juiced and Creo allowed me to ride a lot more and lose weight, so now I'm putting out 3 watts/kg and I find I'm riding unassisted just fine.
