The all-new Dawes Spire 1.0 Crossbar electric bike is designed for versatility, making it ideal for daily commuting, errands, and weekend rides through parks and along canal towpaths.
The Spire 1.0 features a crossbar frame with a neatly integrated 360Wh battery, delivering over 28 miles (45 km) of assisted pedaling. Power is supplied by the Bafang rear hub motor, renowned for its excellent build quality, performance, and value. With 32Nm of torque, the motor effortlessly handles hills and makes flat terrain easy to navigate. The battery, using high-quality Samsung cells, can be charged on or off the bike within 5 hours and is easily removable without tools. An integrated lock provides added security when locked up in public.
The bike includes an easy-to-read display with an intuitive system offering 5 power assist modes and essential ride information, such as battery level, current speed, average speed, max speed, trip distance, and trip time. A walk assist mode helps propel the bike when pushing up steep inclines.
Equipped with 1x8 speed Shimano Altus gearing and low-maintenance Tektro hydraulic disc brakes, the Spire 1.0 ensures reliable performance and control, whether navigating city traffic or a local cycle path. The 70mm travel suspension fork with hydraulic lockout smooths out bumps and uneven terrain.
Comfort is enhanced with a Selle Royal Freeway saddle, ergonomically shaped grips, and alloy city pedals. The 700x45c Kenda tyres offer grip and fast rolling with added puncture protection, and reflective detailing enhances visibility in low light and nighttime conditions.
Standard features include bright front and rear LED lights powered by the battery, a rear pannier rack for carrying luggage, mudguards to reduce spray, and a handy kickstand.
