Savic C-Series Electric Motorcycle Review: Australian EV That Takes on Zero and Energica

Originally Published: 30th August, 2025

After threading this Melbourne-built electric motorcycle through Sydney's Northern Beaches, I reckon this small Australian company might just be onto something special.

There's something deeply satisfying about seeing an Australian company have a proper crack at taking on the big players in any market. And me being a self confessed motorcycle nut, even more so when it's about 2 wheels. Today I spent time riding the Savic C-Series electric motorcycle and I came away genuinely impressed.

Now, I should probably mention that I'm the kind of rider who still gets a little misty-eyed at the smell of petrol from a leaky carburettor.  So for me to get excited about an electric motorcycle, it's got to be something pretty special.

The Australian Electric Motorcycle Underdog Story

Savic Motorcycles might not be a household name yet, but they should be. Based in West Melbourne, this small Australian outfit is doing something that takes serious guts, they're building electric motorcycles from the ground up and taking the fight to established EV players like Zero and Energica. Some might say 'tell him he's dreaming,' but from what I experienced today, they're not just about making up the numbers in the electric motorcycle market.

Victoria from Savic told me they've been building "one or two bikes a month this year, just really slowly, getting the production line right." But they've just moved to two electric motorcycles a week, with plans to hit two bikes a day by year's end. That's ambitious stuff for a small operation, but the quality and passion I experienced suggests they might just pull it off.

We're hoping to get a C-Series electric motorcycle on extended loan early next year to really get to know this EV properly, today’s ride was just a taste of what it can do.
