Setter was founded in Elche, in the province of Alicante, by Miguel Santonja Santonja, a mechanic originally from Alcoy. In the early 1950s, he began fitting bicycles with auxiliary engines featuring roller transmission, thus creating the first mopeds marketed under the Santonja brand. Success was immediate; the quality of the machines spoke for itself, and the brand quickly took the name Setter, chosen with a touch of humour in reference to this loyal and calm breed of dog, whose name sounded like the perfect antidote to the main competitor of the time, the G.A.C.
What set Setter apart from most of its Spanish contemporaries was its technical independence; the brand designed and manufactured its own engines, with displacements of 44, 49, 60, 74 and 125 cm³. A rare approach for a small provincial manufacturer at a time when most manufacturers were content to assemble imported engines. These engines would power not only Setter machines, but also Vicente Solá’s Ducson models. Over twenty years of operation, the company produced nearly 7,000 machines.
The 49cc model from 1960 marked a period of full maturity for Setter. The brand regularly took part in moped competitions in the Spanish Levante region, and its machines forged a reputation for reliability and quality that extended far beyond the province’s borders. The factory closed a few years later, a victim of the arrival of the SEAT 600, which transformed transport habits in a rapidly changing Spain.
