Electric motorcycles are coming – maybe sooner than some Aussies would like judging by some of the reactions on AMCN’s social media pages. In a country still grappling with range anxiety, limited charging infrastructure, and a love affair with cubic centimetres, the idea of a silent, battery-powered motorcycle can be met with everything from vague curiosity to muttered profanities. Yet the march of legislation and technology means it’s only a matter of time before two-wheeled EVs start replacing their petrol-powered predecessors.
The Ride
A 280kg electric bike with a truckload of torque at zero rpm sounds excessive on paper, but the C-Series is actually very approachable, with the slightly forward-canted riding position providing plenty of legroom and the low, firm-ish 780mm seat allowing for plenty of leverage at a standstill. And they’re not outlandish figures for a machine packing this much grunt anyway.
Tapping the throttle for the first time is met with easy, linear progress, and once you get used to the lack of engine noise it all feels very natural.
While you wouldn’t describe it as scalpel-like on a twisty road, the Savic feels utterly at home in urban settings, where it never failed to elicit double-takes from passers-by as they witness you ghost past with only the whisper of disturbed air to proclaim your passing. Indeed, I was surprised just how much attention the stealthy Savic received on our ride around Melbourne.
