When I first started recommending electric hybrid bikes to riders who wanted a proper crossbar setup, there weren't many that ticked every box. The Dawes Spire 2.0 Cues Crossbar is a genuinely accomplished option — one that pairs a traditional, confident frame geometry with a component specification that goes well beyond what you'd expect at this price point.
The crossbar frame suits riders who prefer a more engaged, direct riding posture — and the 6061 aluminium construction keeps it light enough that you're not fighting the bike on the climbs. The internal cable routing keeps everything clean and protected from the elements, which matters a lot more on a year-round commuter than on a fair-weather bike.
That 540Wh Samsung-cell battery gives you up to 60 miles (97km) of real-world range — and in our experience, a well-specced electric hybrid bike UK riders actually use every day needs that kind of headroom. Most commuters can go most of the working week between charges. The battery locks into the frame securely and can be removed when you want to charge it away from the bike.
The Shimano Cues 1x9 speed groupset and Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes are the headline component upgrades — nine smooth speeds and modulated, progressive braking that mechanical discs simply don't match in wet conditions. The 70mm travel suspension fork with hydraulic lockout handles the rougher surfaces on your route, locking firm on smooth tarmac for maximum efficiency.
Front and rear LEDs, reflective Kenda tyre sidewalls, full mudguards, a pannier rack and an adjustable kickstand. Everything you need for daily use — included, not optional.
Crossbar Frame — 6061 Aluminium, Internal Cable Routing — A direct, engaged riding geometry for riders who prefer the classic crossbar setup. Clean internal routing protects cables from weather and reduces maintenance on a daily-use bike.
540Wh Samsung-Cell Battery — Up to 60 Miles Range — Impressive real-world range built on proven Samsung cells. Fully integrated into the frame with a security lock, and removable for flexible charging wherever suits you best.
Shimano Cues 1x9 Gearing — Shadow Rear Derailleur — Nine speeds with a wide ratio range, paired with the Cues RD-U3020 Shadow derailleur for quiet, precise, low-maintenance shifting. A noticeable step up from entry-level groupsets.
Shimano MT200 Hydraulic Disc Brakes — 180/160mm Rotors — Genuine hydraulic braking: progressive, modulated, and consistently effective in British weather. Substantially better feel and performance than mechanical alternatives, particularly in the wet.
70mm Suspension Fork with Hydraulic Lockout — Opens up for gravel and uneven paths; locks solid for efficient tarmac riding. A meaningful upgrade for commuters who encounter mixed surfaces on their routes.
Front & Rear LED Lights + Reflective Kenda Tyre Sidewalls — Active and passive visibility combined. Integrated lights controlled via the display; reflective sidewalls visible to drivers from multiple angles on darker rides.
Centre-Mounted LCD Display — 5 Assist Modes + Walk Assist — Full ride data at a glance, with five assist modes to balance range and effort depending on the day. Walk assist makes steep pushes manageable even with pannier bags loaded.

There are a few regulations surrounding electric bikes in the UK so we thought we would provide you with a summary of those below:
You must be aged 14 or over in the UK to ride an electric bike.
You do not need tax, insurance or a driving license to ride an electric bike.
To be classified as an electrically assisted pedal cycle (EAPC) in the UK, an electric bike must fulfil a certain set of criteria, including:
- Pedals - The electric bike must have pedals capable of propelling it, and motor assistance should only be provided when the pedals are moving.
- Motor - The motor’s power output must be no more than 250 watts (W).
- Speed - The motor should not be able to propel the e-bike when it’s travelling faster than 15.5mph.
Please note that if your electric bike does not meet the above 3 points, then you cannot ride on public roads. Some of our bikes exceed the 250W limit, so these are only to be used on private land with the landowner's permission.
It is the responsibility of the rider to wear protective clothing, however this is not a legal requirement.
