At the end of your agreement, you\u2019ll pay a small fee to transfer the bike into your full ownership. Alternatively, you can return the bike at no cost.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Why should you use Cyclescheme?<\/h3>\n

First and foremost, purchasing through Cyclescheme will save you a significant chunk of money on your new bike.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Not only that, but it\u2019s also a good way to reduce your carbon footprint and improve your health \u2013 both physical and mental.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Spanning 137 miles between the North Sea and the Irish Sea, the C2C (coast to coast) is the most popular cycling challenge in the UK. The route takes in spectacular views of rolling hills, mountains and coastlines as it meanders its way through Northumberland, skirts around the North Pennines and the Lake District, and hugs the Solway Coast.<\/p>\n

As one of Canyon\u2019s top-end e-tourers, the Pathlite:ON 8<\/a> is well-equipped for the challenge. It\u2019s built for comfort over long distances, with an upright riding position and ergonomic handlebars. And with its 200km range and beefy 57mm tyres, there are few places it\u2019ll struggle to go.<\/p>\n

The Pathlite:ON can be equipped with dual batteries for long days in the saddle, but the external power pack is easily removed to reduce weight on shorter rides. Despite the room said external power pack takes up in the front triangle, there is still space for two bottles. Plus, a sturdy luggage rack ensures there\u2019s ample capacity to carry everything else too.<\/p>\n
