Benzina Zero Duo: Full Spec Sheet
The Benzina Zero Duo is built for a job rather than a lap time. This compact utility scooter is designed around carrying people and stuff, with racks, hooks, storage accessories and a low seat making it a practical little workhorse for everyday riding.
The newer Duo+ keeps the same basic formula but raises the top speed to 65 km/h and gets a more powerful Bosch hub motor, while also moving up to an L3e-A1 licence category. Both versions remain lightweight, simple and deliberately practical.

The BCB Take
The Duo is a proper little utility machine. At just 87 kg with its battery, it is easy to see why the package is aimed at practical everyday transport rather than outright performance. The racks, hooks and huge range of available accessories let you configure it around whatever you're carrying.
The Duo+ adds a bit more shove and raises the top speed to 65 km/h, but the basic idea remains the same. It's a lightweight, simple electric scooter designed to earn its keep rather than win a drag race.
Ride safe, folks.
