Rider Profile

Best For	Suitable for beginners and licence holders comfortable with a maxi-style automatic scooter, no advanced skills required.
Purpose	Designed primarily for urban commuting and short suburban trips rather than performance riding.
Rider Fit	The low seat height and automatic transmission make it accessible to riders of varying size and experience, though the 194 kg weight requires some care at a standstill.
Character	A practical, retro-styled automatic scooter that prioritizes easy, relaxed city riding over speed or excitement.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders seeking highway touring comfort, off-road capability, or spirited canyon-carving performance.

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Benelli Caffenero 250, with a moderate knee angle of around 105 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
