German tech site ifun.de put the Dukawey FUGL 3.0 through its paces in July 2026, and the verdict is clear: this is a comfort city e-bike with a remarkably well-tuned drivetrain, generous standard equipment and an attractive price. Where many entry-level e-bikes feel stiff or unfinished, the reviewer describes the FUGL 3.0 as a coherent, well-built package — "ein insgesamt stimmiges Gesamtpaket zu einem vergleichsweise attraktiven Preis."

From the ifun.de Test
| Test area | ifun.de finding | What it means in daily use |
|---|---|---|
| Drive system | The torque sensor reacts "unmittelbar" (immediately) to pedalling pressure, with no lag and no run-on | Natural, responsive pedalling instead of the jerky starts typical of cheap e-bikes |
| Dual sensor modes | Torque and cadence sensors are switchable; cadence mode "almost feels like a small moped" | Pick a natural ride feel or an effortless cruise with one button |
| Braking | Hydraulic disc brakes brake reliably and precisely | Strong, controllable stopping power for a e-bike in stop-and-go traffic |
| Ride comfort | Front suspension visibly absorbs cobblestones and gravel; the step-through frame makes stops effortless | Comfortable commutes on uneven urban surfaces |
| Build quality | Clean paintwork, smoothed welds, tidy cable routing — "doesn't look entry-level" | First impression of a e-bike that is worth more than it costs |
What Makes the FUGL 3.0 a Comfort City E-Bike, Per ifun.de
"Komfort-E-Bike mit starker Ausstattung"
— ifun.de, test title
ifun.de's headline — "comfort e-bike with strong equipment" — reflects how the FUGL 3.0 is built around everyday riding.
The aluminium step-through frame makes getting on and off easy during frequent stops, while the upright riding position and 26 × 2.5 inch wide tyres deliver a stable, reassuring ride.
The front suspension fork takes the edge off rough pavement, and the 65 N·m rear-hub motor keeps the bike moving on city hills.
For riders comparing city and commuter e-bikes, the combination of a comfortable frame, wide tyres and a well-tuned motor is exactly what separates a pleasant daily ride from a chore.
Drive System, Braking and Climbing Performance
"Der Drehmomentsensor reagiert unmittelbar auf den Pedaldruck"
— ifun.de
The drive system is the standout finding of the review.
ifun.de reports that the torque sensor responds immediately to pedalling pressure and cuts assistance just as quickly when you stop.
The hydraulic disc brakes with 180 mm rotors, rare at this price point, braked reliably and precisely in the test, which matters for a e-bike ridden in traffic.
The switchable cadence sensor makes light pedalling feel "stellenweise fast an ein kleines Mofa" (almost like a small moped), while five assistance levels handle steeper climbs with plenty of power and little noise.
Battery, Range and Ride Comfort
The 672 Wh removable battery is large for this price segment. It locks with a key and is rated IP54 for water resistance. Official range is up to 120 km on pedal assistance (60 km in full speed mode).
ifun.de didn't run a full drain test, but found the capacity more than sufficient for daily commuting, shopping trips and longer leisure rides, without range anxiety.
On comfort, the low-slung frame, upright riding posture, and wide 26-inch (2.5-inch wide) tires ensure a smooth and safe riding experience, while the suspension fork effectively absorbs road bumps.
The Right Fit: Riders Who Will Love the FUGL 3.0
As ifun.de's testing shows, the FUGL 3.0 is a strong match for:
- City commuters who want hydraulic braking, integrated lighting and a rack in one package
- Want an torque and cadence sensors and quality build rather than bare-bones specs
- Comfortable step-through frame, easy to get on and off. People who ride for shopping, commute and leisure and value comfort and stability
- Riders between 160 and 185 cm (usable up to 190 cm)
- Those who want to charge the removable battery indoors at home or work

FAQ
How far can the Dukawey FUGL 3.0 go on one charge?
Gleecycle states up to 120 km on pedal assistance from the 672 Wh battery (60 km in full speed mode). ifun.de did not run a full drain test but found the battery more than sufficient for commuting, shopping and longer rides.
How does the torque and cadence sensors feel in practice?
ifun.de reports immediate response to pedalling pressure with no delay and no motor run-on — a natural, bicycle-like feel. The switchable cadence mode offers an even more relaxed, "almost moped-like" cruise.
Can the FUGL 3.0 handle daily commuting?
Yes. The review supports this through its findings on the step-through frame, hydraulic disc brakes, 50 kg rear rack, integrated lights and 672 Wh battery — a complete commuter package rather than a minimalist e-bike.
Why did ifun.de recommend the Dukawey FUGL 3.0?
A responsive torque-sensor drive, hydraulic disc brakes, torque and cadence sensors modes, a large 672 Wh battery and generous standard equipment.
