ABOUT US

Our Journey

 

My name is Vincent Inman, after retiring from a 35-year career in the motor industry due to arthritis, and an old leg injury, I needed a new path.

 

My lifelong passion for bikes—both bicycles and motorcycles—led the way.

As my knee pain worsened, cycling—the activity I once loved—became nearly impossible.

That all changed during a visit to friends in Amsterdam, where we discovered their everyday mode of transport: the electric bike. One ride was all it took—I was hooked.

Unlike traditional cycling, e-bikes didn’t put strain on my knees, and for the first time in years, I could enjoy the freedom of riding again.

Guida, my wife, was just as inspired. Together, we realized how many people in the UK could benefit from this same experience.

With my background in engineering and her 30 years of customer service expertise, we set out on a mission: to make e-bikes accessible for everyone, while promoting fun, health, and sustainable transport.

After months of research and preparation, Top Dog Bikes was born.

Description

The Dawes Spire 2.0 Crossbar has been upgraded with several key enhancements to improve performance and ride quality.

It now boasts the latest Shimano Cues 1x9-speed gearing, offering smoother and more precise shifting for a seamless riding experience.

Additionally, we’ve integrated Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes, providing superior stopping power and reliability in all weather conditions.

Beyond the hardware, we’ve also fine-tuned our e-Bike system software, optimizing motor responsiveness.

This means you’ll experience a noticeably faster and more efficient power pickup from a standing start, making acceleration feel more natural and immediate.

Whether navigating city streets or tackling off-road trails, these updates ensure a more dynamic and enjoyable ride.

The Dawes Spire has a Befang 250W rear hub motor producing 32Nm torque and a top speed of 15.5mph, which complies with UK regulations.

Details

The Spire 2.0 Crossbar is a true all-rounder—whether you’re commuting to work, running errands, or heading out for a relaxed weekend ride along scenic country parks and canal towpaths, this hybrid e-Bike is built to handle it all with ease.

 

Upgrades & Performance

Compared to its predecessor, the Dawes Spire 1.0, the Spire 2.0 features several key upgrades that enhance both performance and convenience. The 1x9-speed Shimano Cues gearing delivers smoother and more efficient shifting, while the larger 540Wh battery extends your riding range significantly. We’ve also added a sleek, centre-mounted handlebar display, providing a clear and intuitive way to monitor your ride data at a glance.

Battery & Motor Power

The crossbar frame houses a neatly integrated 540Wh battery, offering over 60 miles (97km) of assisted pedalling on a full charge. Power comes from the 250W Bafang rear hub motor, a rapidly growing name in the eBike industry known for exceptional build quality, performance, and value. With 32Nm of torque, this motor ensures smooth acceleration, making steep hills easier to tackle and flat terrain feel effortless up to a top speed of 15.5mph.

Built with high-quality Samsung battery cells, the power unit meets the highest UK and EU safety standards, giving you total confidence in its reliability. Charging is simple—whether on or off the bike, a full charge takes just 6 hours, and removal requires no tools for added convenience. Plus, the integrated battery lock keeps it secure when you leave the bike unattended.

250W Motor and Max speed 15.5mph, which complies with UK regulations.

Ride Experience & Technology

The centre-mounted display keeps all your ride stats easily visible, with a side-mounted remote allowing you to switch functions without taking your hands off the bars.

With five power assist levels, plus real-time tracking of current speed, average speed, max speed, trip distance, and trip time, you have all the information you need at your fingertips.

For extra convenience, the bike also includes a walk-assist mode, which engages the motor to help push the bike up steep inclines when walking.

  • Control & Comfort
  • To ensure a confident and controlled ride, we’ve equipped the Spire 2.0 with Shimano’s 1x9-speed Cues gearing and Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes, offering consistent stopping power in both wet and dry conditions. A 70mm travel suspension fork with hydraulic lockout absorbs bumps and uneven terrain, keeping your ride smooth whether you're in the city or on country trails.
  • For added comfort, we’ve chosen a Selle Royal Freeway saddle, ergonomic grips, and lightweight alloy city pedals, ensuring a pleasant ride on longer journeys. The fast-rolling 700x45c Kenda tyres provide excellent grip and built-in puncture protection, reducing the risk of flats. Plus, the reflective detailing increases visibility when riding in low light or nighttime conditions.

Practical Features

The Spire 2.0 comes fully equipped for everyday riding, featuring:
✔ Bright front and rear LED lights, powered directly by the battery for enhanced visibility.
✔ A rear pannier rack, perfect for carrying bags, shopping, or commuting essentials.
✔ Full mudguards, keeping you dry and clean in wet conditions.

What Our Customers Have To Say

  • Damien

    From start to finish and even afterwards this company’s customer service and aftercare is second to none. I ordered my Engwe Ep 2 Boost from Top Dog Bikes, Guida is a credit to this business and I never write reviews but the way she dealt with me from the first call to her after care email follow up should be commended. If you’re looking for your new e-bike or accessories this is the place to contact, you will be looked after, Thanks Guida and Top Dog Bikes. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • Andy Blamires

    A Bike shop above and beyond

    This bike shop went above and beyond to help me out with an electric bike. Guida phoned me up and told me the bike i wanted was no longer been stocked and went out of her way to find me the same sort of specs for the the bike I wanted. A few hrs later she sent me an email with a bike that I was looking at before on a different website. She had sent me a email of the Vitilan electric bike I immediately said yes. About a week or so later my bike arrived I was so happy. So a big massive thank you to topdog bikes and especially Guida, hope to business with you again for my next bike.

  • Ben Clothier

    I looked at purchasing an Engwe E26…

    e-bike for some time and watched and read a lot of reviews before deciding.
    I then looked at prices and purchasing options and found Top Dog Bikes to be the best price. After talking to Guida Inman who was very helpful and walked me through various options I placed the order. The after sales from Topdogbikes and Guida in particular has proven my decision to be the correct one. So 10/10 to Topdogbikes.
