A New Cool: The Savic Electric Motorcycle

Founder Dennis Savic started this journey in 2014. While the world looked at electric cars, Dennis saw a gap in the two-wheeled market. He sold his Subaru to fund the dream, and a few friends joined the cause in 2017. Starting with a used Yamaha R1 chassis as their first test bed, they dropped a battery pack and off-the-shelf components into the frame to serve as a proof of concept. The early iterations featured cradle frames and many donor parts. A next generation was developed with a modular frame. The modularity granted the team design freedom. They can swap headstocks and alter subframes – transforming the geometry of the bike to suit different styles.

Their office is the design centre, workshop, factory, and sales showroom. I walk through the space and see the evolution of the brand in the prototypes lined against the wall. Between 2016 and 2017, the closure of Ford, Holden, and Toyota plants silenced Australian auto production. The team moved to this workshop in 2020. Now Savic Motorcycles consolidates production of its flagship C-Series Alpha here in the city. This machine represents the first vehicle produced in the city since those big names left.
