Silco, officially known as Silvestre y Corell, was a velomotor manufactured in Oliva, (in the province of Valencia) from 1951 and equipped with a 65cc air cooled, 4 stroke, side valve engine, a 2-speed gearbox and handlebar controls. It also featured an unusual front mounted carburettor.

The frame was a cradle with a parallelogram fork and the machine was aimed at the local market and its demand for simple machines.

Silco’s production run was extremely limited, making surviving examples exceedingly rare today. In addition, documentation and advertising literature is virtually non-existent.
