Truth be told, the Dawes Spire 1.0 Crossbar is the kind of electric hybrid bike that gets ridden every day and barely thought about — and that's a genuine compliment. It's put together with the right components, in the right proportions, for riders who want a trustworthy pedal assist electric bike that earns its keep on the commute and doesn't give up when you head off the main road at the weekend.
The crossbar frame gives a direct, classic riding position that suits commuters who prefer a slightly more forward posture. Internal cable routing keeps things tidy and protected through the seasons, and the 6061 aluminium construction means the bike is responsive without being heavy. The integrated 360Wh Samsung-cell battery locks securely into the frame and is fully removable for convenient charging.
Up to 40 miles (64km) of real-world range from a 5-hour charge — for many UK commuters that's most of the working week sorted in one charge. Five assist modes and a walk-assist function give you genuine control over how much work your legs do. The handlebar-mounted LCD display keeps speed, battery level and ride data in view at all times.
The Shimano Altus 1x8 speed Rapidfire Plus gearing is smooth and accurate, covering a useful range for both urban riding and moderate inclines. Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes — 180mm front and 160mm rear — deliver stopping performance that mechanical alternatives can't match in cold, wet British conditions. The 70mm travel suspension fork with hydraulic lockout rounds off a drivetrain and braking package that punches well above the entry-level segment.
Kenda K197 puncture-protected tyres with reflective sidewalls, front and rear LED lights, full mudguards, a pannier rack and kickstand are all fitted as standard. Ready for day one, whatever day one looks like for you.
Crossbar Frame — 6061 Aluminium, Internal Routing — Classic geometry for a direct, engaged ride. Internal cables stay clean and dry through year-round use without additional maintenance effort.
360Wh Samsung-Cell Battery — Up to 40 Miles Range — Proven Samsung cells for reliable performance over time. Removes from the frame for flexible charging and locks securely when you're parked up.
Shimano Altus Rapidfire Plus — 8 Speed — Smooth, accurate shifting across eight gears. The Rapidfire Plus system is thumb-operated and responsive — intuitive for new riders, efficient for experienced ones.
Shimano MT200 Hydraulic Disc Brakes — 180/160mm Rotors — A genuine upgrade from mechanical disc brakes. Modulated, confident stopping in wet and cold conditions without the cable-stretch and fade that affects mechanical systems over time.
70mm Suspension Fork with Hydraulic Lockout — Absorbs rougher surfaces and locks out for tarmac efficiency. A practical feature on any commuter bike that encounters mixed terrain on its daily route.
Kenda K197 Tyres — Puncture Protection + Reflective Sidewall — 700x45c width for stability and comfort, with puncture-resistant construction and a reflective strip that adds passive visibility on darker commutes.
Front & Rear LED Lights + Pannier Rack Included — Visibility and carrying capacity from the off. No optional extras needed to make this a genuinely functional daily commuter bike.

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.
