Dukawey FUGL Pro: 10 Upgrades Over the FUGL 3.0

The Dukawey FUGL Pro is the newer low-step commuter from Dukawey, and it changes ten things over the FUGL 3.0: weight, battery, range, wheels, front fork, brakes, drivetrain, chain guard, display and lighting. The two models are close enough that the choice comes down to how much ebike range you need, how often you want to charge, and whether the newer features matter to you.

What the Dukawey FUGL Pro is

The Dukawey FUGL Pro is a low-step city e-bike built on a 6061 aluminum frame with a 250W brushless motor (65 N·m), a removable 720Wh LG-cell battery and 27.5-inch wheels. It weighs 27.5 kg and is aimed at urban commuting and everyday errands.

The low-step frame is the part you notice first. With a recommended rider height of 160–190 cm, an adjustable stem and a comfort saddle, you step on and off without swinging a leg over a rear triangle.

The 10 upgrades over the FUGL 3.0

About 2 kg lighter

At 27.5 kg, the FUGL Pro is about 2 kg lighter than the FUGL 3.0. You notice it when you push the bike out of a hallway or lift it onto a rack.

A 720Wh LG-cell battery

Capacity rises from 672Wh to 720Wh, using LG cells. The battery is removable, so you can carry it indoors to charge.

Up to 140 km of pedal-assist range

In PAS1 the FUGL Pro covers up to 140 km on a single charge. For most commuters that means one or two charges a week.

27.5-inch wheels with 27.5 × 2.4-inch tyres

Larger wheels with CHAOYANG 27.5 × 2.4-inch tyres roll more smoothly on city surfaces and stay settled on light gravel.

A lockable 120 mm suspension fork

Lock the fork out for efficient pedalling on smooth roads, or open it to absorb drains, brick joints and broken asphalt.

ZOOM hydraulic disc brakes

Both models cut motor power when you brake. The difference is the brake set: the FUGL Pro runs ZOOM hydraulics, which give more control in the wet and on descents.

A SHIMANO Altus 8-speed drivetrain

Eight speeds with an 11–36T cassette cover both climbs and cruising, with a single shifter to think about.

A crankset with a chain guard

The 48T crankset is fitted with a chain guard, so a trouser leg or long coat stays clear of the chain.

A 4-inch colour display with NFC unlock and Type-C charging

Tap an NFC card to unlock the bike instead of reaching for your phone, and use the Type-C port to top up a device on the move.

LED Headlight & Taillight with Turn Signals

Turn signals announce your intentions early, which matters most in traffic and on evening rides.

FUGL Pro vs FUGL 3.0: which one fits you?

Both models share the same 250W motor, 65 N·m of torque and low-step frame.

If you want the proven everyday all-rounder at a friendlier price

The Dukawey FUGL 3.0 was rated a comfort city e-bike in RTL's seven-day FUGL 3.0 test. It uses the same 250W / 65 N·m motor and low-step frame at a more affordable price point.

If you want the longer-range, newer-feature build

The Dukawey FUGL Pro answers a longer commute: a 720Wh battery, up to 140 km of pedal-assist range, a lockable suspension fork, NFC unlock, Type-C charging and turn signals, so you charge less often.

Built for everyday commuting

The low-step frame keeps mounting simple, and the 160–190 cm rider range with an adjustable stem and comfort saddle lets you fine-tune your position. This is the layout most riders mean by a step-through commuter e-bike.

Everyday fittings are already there: a rear rack rated to 50 kg, mudguards, plus a cable lock and a pump in the box. The bike arrives 90% pre-assembled, so the remaining steps are quick.

Visibility and braking come from the turn-signal lighting and the ZOOM hydraulic disc brakes. GleeCycle sells the FUGL Pro in Europe and the UK only through its official website, which reduces the risk of counterfeits and hidden costs; the product page lists a 3-year warranty.

For other frame styles and wheel sizes, compare the full electric bikes range.
