With the belated announcement of a New Vehicle Efficiency Standard, the Albanese Government has finally signalled its serious intent to get big gas guzzlers off our roads. But with a wide range of policy proposals - and a year before the new standard becomes law - we’re still a long way behind the EV markets of Europe and the “electric superpowers” of Asia.

Of all the records of our test runs, none is so compelling or inspiring as the incredible footage captured by the Shannon’s Insurance DRIVEN team, whose evocatively-titled Electric Dreams has been viewed more than 18,000 times.

“Timeless design” is one of those ubiquitous phrases that’s bandied about by people trying to sell new products, but like many marketing mottos has lost much of its meaning through overuse.

There's something thrilling about testing limits and breaking barriers, and nowhere are automotive limits broken more frequently than at Phillip Island’s legendary Grand Prix Circuit.

Designing a high-performance motorcycle is rather like riding one. You need to maintain a careful balance between emotion and practicality, between sensitivity, confidence, good judgment, and style. You also need to stay focused and composed. Above all, you need to stay the course.

It’s become a cliché to say that a motorcycle champion got on their first bike almost as soon as they could walk – but for Jed Metcher, it’s a fact.

The “loud pipes” statement has been around for decades, and inevitably pops up when there’s a perceived threat to what many feel is their God-given right to a loud exhaust system.

Preparing for volume manufacture is about dotting i's and crossing t’s at every step along the way, and trying to prepare for every eventuality by asking yourself the right questions at the right times:

From compostable boxes and wrappers to the growing possibilities of recycled fabrics, our awareness extended even to the ink used for printing on our packaging.

Here are six reasons why I know that, however much I love the roar and physicality of my old petrol bikes, I’ll eventually bow to the superior performance and effortless handling of an electric bike - at least for my commutes to work.

If you strapped 30 vacuum cleaners to the motorcycle, you'd probably create a pretty impressive contraption.

Into the big time: How precise manufacturing and close supplier relationships will ensure Savic Motorcycles commercial success

To mix things up, we invited a new team member to explore the merits of E-Motorcycles over traditional ICE bikes.

Most of the things that we enjoy each day require some form of maintenance to ensure they continue to work the way they’re intended.

These days, computing is everywhere. From the tiniest devices such as IoT sensors, to phones and watches, TVs and satellites....

If you’re trying to maximise your range, take it slow. If range is no issue for you, do what you will. In this blog we explore the inbetweens...

We all know that water and electricity don’t mix so well, so of course there may be some questions.

When you hear people talk about the instant torque of the Savic Motorcycles C-Series, this is how we’re able to achieve it.

The inspiration for the C-Series actually dates back to Northwest London in the 1960s, where the iconic Ace Café – “the world’s most famous motor café” – was heralded as the birthplace of leather-clad rockers...

A brief explanation of how regenerative braking works, and how it can increase your range!

All vehicles have some form of transmission – automatic, manual, variable, or other – which refers to the components that transmit power...

We've hit several milestones this year, but a particularly sentimental one occurred end of 2022...

Dave and Dennis first met at a wedding in 2000, seven iterations and Six years later, we prepare the C-Series for production!

The safety of your C-Series has been made possible through a number of interconnected hardware and software functions both on and off the vehicle.

While chain drives are cheaper to manufacture and extremely efficient at transmitting power, belt drives – and particularly the latest carbon-fibre belts – have a strength and durability that make them a popular choice.

This incredible material has so many extraordinary features, including a non-polyurethane waterproofing method that makes it 100% compostable.

At Savic Motorcycles, we don’t just believe that electric vehicles represent the future of private transportation in Australia. We know it.

Savic unveiled a new and improved version of the SM1 powertrain, which showcased a range of features the team considered ‘must haves’ for the vehicle and those who would be the first to pilot it.

The 50% increase in our battery capacity will mean a boost in the C-Series’ range – exceeding 250km for the Alpha on a city ride – as well as increasing the duration in which the bike can be run at top speed on the freeway.

In the following graphics, you can see how the headstock of our C-Series prototype went through a number of design iterations to reduce its size while maintaining its load-bearing strength.

Savic Motorcycles is making it's way to Brisbane to showcase it's prototype amongst some of the worlds most incredible motorcycles ridden on our roads!

If you had a regular bunch of automotive engineers building a motorbike from the ground up, you’d have a hard job doing it remotely.

At Savic we aim to design bikes that you’ll be proud to own and ride – and that pride will begin from the very outset of your journey, thanks to our uniquely customisable dash.
