2025 Savic Motorcycles C-Series Alpha Review: Aussie brand electrifies bike world

Originally Published: 30th August, 2025

Is it possible to make an electric motorcycle that doesn’t suck, or at least one that a bike enthusiast (or Temporary Australians, as they are sometimes cruelly called) could actually enjoy? Up until now, the answer has been definitive and defiant NO.

It’s a lesson that Harley-Davidson quickly learned when it took its branding off the ill-conceived and awful LiveWire, just in time to stop a bunch of angry bikies roiling in to burn its factories to the ground.

Today, however, I am relieved to report that thanks to the work of an unlikely upstart Aussie company called Savic, the answer is a ringing “maybe”, with a side-serving of “kind of”.

2025 Savic Motorcycles C-Series Alpha: What we think;

What I think is that I should stay away from motorcycles of all kinds, particularly on beautiful sunny days, because I love them too much and desperately and instantly want to own one.

Would I buy an electric motorcycle, though, even one with proud Aussie know-how in every inch (okay, not the inches that make up the battery, they come from China)? Personally, probably not. And the main reason, honestly, is that old saw point; range. 

To be fair, the Savic does pass a lot of tests, and is by far the best electric bike I’ve tried. It looks cool, which is very important, with a cafe racer style, lashings of carbon fibre and a single-sided swingarm. It looks the part.

It also gets up and boogies in a properly motorcycle way. The zero to 100 time is a claimed 3.5 seconds, but it feels much faster. My guess is it uses much of its 60kW and 200+Nm to punch you up to 80km/h, because the usable part of its power range is spectacular (and I only rode it inside city limits. Honestly, it gets from 40 to 80 faster than a calculator can, and it’s huge fun to ride. Despite its hefty 280kg weight, it doesn’t feel bulky, with a cleverly thought out centre of gravity and sharp handling.
