An easy-to-read display and intuitive computer system offers 5 power assist modes and plenty of information to track your ride including; battery level, current speed, average speed, max speed, trip distance and trip time. To make things easy when off the bike, we’ve fitted a walk assist mode that engages the motor to help drive the bike when pushing up steep hills.
We’ve equipped the Spire 1.0 with dependable 1x8 speed Shimano Altus gearing and powerful, low maintenance Tektro hydraulic disc brakes to help keep you in control when navigating city traffic or the local cycle path. A 70mm travel suspension fork with hydraulic lockout takes care of bumps and uneven terrain while the adjustable stem ensures that you can tailor the height of the handlebars so that you are as comfortable as possible.
For rider contact points, you’ll find a comfortable Selle Royal Freeway saddle, ergonomically shaped grips and alloy city pedals. The 700x45c Kenda tyres are grippy and fast rolling with added puncture protection to help keep flat tyres at bay while the reflective detailing increases visibility in low light and nighttime settings.
Lastly, the Spire 1.0 comes as standard with bright front and rear LED lights that are powered directly by the battery, a rear pannier rack for transporting luggage, mudguards to avoid tyre spray and a handy kickstand for parking your bike.
