The Pathfinder E:
Lightweight, nimble and comfortable, so you can effortlessly explore with the added benefit of a powerful, quiet, reliable and subtly-integrated electric-assist drive to aid pedalling and help you climb hills with ease.
Fully equipped and weighing only 17.8kgs, it is powered by the discreet Mahle X30 rear drive motor with seamlessly integrated internal battery, so you can enjoy a smooth, effortless ride through town or country, with all the grace and comfort for which Pashley is renowned.
Available in a diamond or step through frame, the Pathfinder and Pathfinder E offer a choice of two classic, heritage shades – Ash Green or Trail Stone.
The Pathfinder:
Reflecting the spirit of the open road, the Pathfinder is crafted for the rider who appreciates the finer details of a dependable and versatile steed, which is as comfortable conquering the urban commute as it is on the weekend spin to the coffee shop.
The Pathfinder is outfitted with high-volume semi-slick tyres, offering an exceptional balance of speed and grip on varied surfaces. The addition of hydraulic brakes provides reliable, responsive stopping power, giving you the confidence to ride anywhere with precision and control. Fully equipped, refined and stylish, the Pathfinder is an exceptional bicycle for the everyday.

The Pathfinder XE is a new and exciting concept to the e-bike world, inspired by the machines of the mountain bike pioneers, we have brought a retro approach to a cutting-edge platform that offers multi-terrain capability and versatility, complete with powerful, controlled electric assistance in a package weighing just 17kg.
The Pathfinder XE with its powerful, smooth and controlled power assistance is a bicycle designed to take you further into the urban jungle and elevate you higher than ever across off-road tracks and trails.
Delivering smooth power to the drivetrain is the Mahle X30 rear hub motor that produces 250W and 45nm of almost silent and controlled power. The discreet internal battery can also be supplemented with the eX1 range extender adding an additional 85% to your range, pushing your ride limits even further.
The Pathfinder X:
Inspired by the purist machines ridden by the mountain bike pioneers - and the retro style and versatility they now represent, the Pathfinder X is a bicycle designed to blur the boundary between the urban jungle and off-road tracks and trails. This is a bicycle equally at home cutting through traffic as it is exploring the path less travelled.
The Pathfinder X is made from the highest quality Reynolds steel and is meticulously hand-crafted in England. Complete with Pashley Porteur front rack, Shimano Cues 1x11 drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes, mountain bike tyres and finishing kit, this is a discipline-crossing machine designed for the modern-day explorer, traversing a multitude of terrains with style and purpose.

The Pashley Pathfinders are the latest editions to launch from Britain’s longest-established bicycle maker, as Pashley continues to expand its product range, taking this indulgent and quintessentially British brand to a wider audience.

The Pathfinders will open Pashley to a new audience of cyclists who are looking to take their cycling experiences to new heights, with or without power assistance. Although very British in their making, the Pathfinders have been designed to appeal to the wider global audience as we look to further strengthen our reach beyond these shores.”
