The first motorcycle with interchangeable battery and payment for use

Thanks to this innovative system, the purchase costs of the Silence electric models will be more than 1,000 euros lower

Silence again breaks through forms and anticipates the future. The Spanish brand has officially started marketing its electric motorcycles with a subscription battery payment method. It is a pioneering business model in the two-wheel sector – the first to be launched in Europe – that allows the customer to reduce the purchase price of the vehicle and adapt it to the use that will be made of it.

Until now, the automotive and motorcycle industries have fully marketed their products. From this moment on, a new path opens up: on the one hand, purchase the motorcycle, which becomes the property of the buyer, while keeping the battery from Silence.

In this way, the public can enjoy all the benefits of a Silence, but for less than the cost of an equivalent petrol model, right out of the box. For example, the Silence S01 – the best-selling electric motorcycle in Spain in 2021 – with the Battery as a Service (BaaS) program and the 1,100 euro discount from the Moves III Plan costs only 2,750 euros (more than 1,000 euros less than a comparable combustion). . For this price, all you have to do is add up the subscription fee of 15 euros per month, which includes two full charge cycles per month (which will allow you to travel about 200 kilometers). Each additional charge cycle costs 5 euros.

“We want to compete with the most successful combustion engines and now we can do that for the first time at a lower price. At Silence, we also wanted to have a system that would save the user reloading time. We have created the filling station of a future that for us is already the present, with the difference that what is being filled up is not petrol, but the battery itself,” explains Carlos Sotelo, CEO of Silence.

The other big novelty that Silence has already launched is the Battery Station. Customers who choose the motorcycle purchase system with the subscription battery can replace it when they need it. The operation is very simple and fast. To do this, they just need to go to the exchange points that the company creates in Spain.
