Silence Gamme Silence - utilitaires ou VUS
Silence does not produce true utility vehicles or SUVs in the automotive sense. Its lineup closest to this use brings together its electric scooters and trikes intended for professional delivery and load transport in the city, such as the S02 (delivery two-wheeler) and the S03 (three-wheeled scooter for intensive use). These vehicles target urban fleets, couriers and last-mile services looking for quiet, economical mobility with a removable battery. Their audience is above all professional and urban, in contexts where agility and operating cost take precedence over load capacity or the versatility of a conventional utility vehicle. In Quebec, this type of micromobility remains marginal and subject to winter conditions; the concepts of automotive tires and wheels, as well as winter tires homologated for cars, do not apply to these small-format two- and three-wheelers.

Technology
Technologies, engines and platforms
Electric scooter powertrain (a few kilowatts), removable lithium-ion battery on wheels rechargeable from a household outlet, regenerative braking and app connectivity. The S03 adopts a three-wheel configuration for load capacity and stability in intensive urban delivery use.

Les véhicules Silence (scooters et microcar S04) appartiennent à la micromobilité : ils utilisent de petits pneus de scooter ou de quadricycle, montés sur des jantes de faible diamètre, sans rapport avec les dimensions courantes d'automobiles ou de VUS. Leur entraxe et leur montage diffèrent des standards automobiles, et les pneus d'hiver classiques pour voitures ne s'y appliquent pas. Pour un détaillant de pneus et de jantes au Québec, ces véhicules ne représentent pas une demande significative : la marque est quasi absente du marché nord-américain. La pertinence de cette fiche est surtout informative et encyclopédique, plutôt que liée à un fitment réel de pneus ou de jantes locaux.
