Born in Barcelona
Silence was born in Barcelona and is dedicated to the design and manufacture of two and three-wheel electric vehicles as well as their batteries. Led by founder and CEO Carlos Sotelo, it is the biggest specialist EV manufacturer in Europe and the only electric motorcycle manufacturer in the region to manufacture its own batteries. Silence has a factory in Molins de Rei, Sant Boi and an R&D Center in Esplugues de Llobregat.
Carlos has always been surrounded by two-wheeled vehicles, both professionally and as a hobby. He is so passionate about motorbikes that he has competed in the Paris Dakar rally on several occasions. That is where he discovered the value of time and the peace that comes from the absolute silence of the desert. This is where the brand of electric scooters he created gets its name: Silence
