The all-new Dawes Spire 2.0 Low Step electric bike is a versatile hybrid, designed to seamlessly handle daily commutes, quick trips to the shops, and weekend rides through country parks and along canal towpaths. Compared to its predecessor, the Spire 1.0, this model features enhanced 1x9 Shimano Alivio gearing, a larger 540Wh battery, and a sleek, centrally mounted handlebar display.
The low step frame of the Spire 2.0 houses a 540Wh battery, providing an impressive range of over 42 miles (68km) on a single charge. The bike is powered by a Bafang rear hub motor known for its exceptional build quality and performance. With 32Nm of torque, this motor ensures that tackling hills is effortless and flat terrain is a breeze. The battery, using high-quality Samsung cells, can be charged on or off the bike, with a full charge achievable in approximately 6 hours. It is easily removable without tools, and an integrated battery lock offers additional security when the bike is left locked up in public areas.
The Spire 2.0 is equipped with a stylish centre-mounted display, making it easy to monitor your ride metrics. The display, operated through a convenient side-mounted remote, provides essential information including five power assist modes, current speed, average speed, maximum speed, trip distance, and trip time. Additionally, a walk assist mode helps propel the bike when pushing it up steep inclines.
For a smooth and controlled riding experience, the Spire 2.0 features dependable 1x9 speed Shimano Alivio/Altus gearing and powerful, low-maintenance Tektro hydraulic disc brakes. The 70mm travel suspension fork with hydraulic lockout effectively absorbs bumps and uneven terrain, while the adjustable stem allows you to customize the handlebar height for maximum comfort. Rider contact points include a Selle Royal Freeway saddle, ergonomically shaped grips, and alloy city pedals. The 700x45c Kenda tyres offer excellent grip and fast rolling performance, complemented by puncture protection to reduce the risk of flats and reflective detailing for increased visibility in low light conditions.
The Spire 2.0 also comes standard with bright front and rear LED lights powered directly by the bike's battery, a rear pannier rack for light cargo transport, mudguards to protect against tyre spray, and a handy kickstand. This electric bike is designed to excel in both urban and off-road environments, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of riding needs.
