The Dawes Spire 1.0 Crossbar electric bike features a crossbar frame with an integrated 360Wh battery, providing over 40 miles (64 km) of assisted pedalling. Powered by a Bafang rear hub motor, the bike delivers reliable performance with 32Nm of torque, making uphill climbs and flat terrain effortless. The Samsung battery, which meets strict UK and EU safety standards, can be charged on or off the bike in five hours and is easily removable with an integrated lock for security.
The bike is equipped with an intuitive display system that offers five power assist modes, tracking ride data such as speed, distance, and battery level. A walk assist mode is also included to help push the bike uphill when needed. The Spire 1.0’s Shimano Altus 1×8 speed gearing and Tektro hydraulic disc brakes ensure smooth control and handling, while a 70mm suspension fork with hydraulic lockout absorbs bumps on rough terrain.
Rider comfort is prioritised with a Selle Royal Freeway saddle, ergonomic grips, and alloy city pedals. The 700x45c Kenda tyres provide grip, puncture protection, and increased visibility with reflective detailing. Additionally, the bike comes standard with LED lights powered by the battery, a rear pannier rack, mudguards, and a kickstand, making it a practical choice for commuting and leisure rides.
