<<it must be electric>>
I'd have thought 'monastic.'
The Bailey Electric Car was still on the road when I was a little girl. (early 1930s) Two elderly ladies in our neighborhood drove one. It was similar to the first illustration in this link :

It was totally silent and the ride was smooth as glass.
The Bailey Company, just down the pike in Seabrook, New Hampshire - right here on the seacoast, made the electric cars. They are still in business but make other stuff now.
Who was it said "Nothing new under the sun?"
