Our take on the Magnum Bikes Pathfinder 500 Electric Bike

The Magnum Bikes Pathfinder 500 is a low-step commuter e-bike with a 500Wh battery, a 20 mph throttle and 20-inch fat tires. The rigid aluminum frame keeps it simple, but the bike weighs 62 lbs, so it is not light to carry. Magnum rates range at up to 50 miles, which drops with throttle use and hills. It suits riders who want an upright, easy-mount bike for paved paths and light trails.

Questions and answers

Is the Pathfinder 500 worth it for commuting?
Yes, if your commute is mostly paved and you can store the bike at ground level. The low-step frame, throttle and fat tires make short-to-medium rides easy. The 62 lb weight is the main drawback if you must carry it.
How far can it really go on a charge?
Magnum claims up to 50 miles. Expect less with throttle-only riding, hills or a heavy rider; many owners report roughly half that in hard use. Pedal assist at lower levels gets closest to the claim.
Does it have a throttle?
Yes. The throttle takes it to 20 mph without pedaling, and pedal assist works alongside it. Check your local rules, since throttle e-bikes are restricted in some places.
What size riders fit the Pathfinder 500?
The step-through frame and 20-inch wheels suit a wide adult range, and the load limit is 265 lbs. Shorter riders benefit most from the low standover height.
Is it good on gravel or dirt?
It handles light trails and packed gravel thanks to the 3-inch fat tires. The rigid fork and street-oriented design make it less suited to rough or technical off-road riding.
What comes in the box?
The bike ships with the battery, charger and pedals; you attach the front wheel, handlebar and pedals. Confirm the included accessories with the seller before ordering.
