The Savic C-Series Alpha proves that Australian manufacturing isn’t finished yet, with an electric café racer that’s fast & refined

Australia’s first locally built full sized electric Road Bike, the Savic C-Series Alpha, delivers brutal torque, clever tech and a surprisingly high finish, all from a small Melbourne workshop. We spent a day out on the road in Melbourne, putting it to the test…

Australia hasn’t seen a locally built road-going motorcycle in decades, but in a small workshop in Melbourne’s inner west, one has been slowly taking shape. What began in 2014 as a young engineer’s after-hours obsession has turned into the Savic C-Series Alpha, a fully electric naked bike now rolling into the hands of early customers.

That engineer is Perth-born Dennis Savic and his persistence has been the defining ingredient. He was just 14 when he first dreamed of building his own motorcycle and over the past decade he’s sold his car, raised capital, built a brand and worked through multiple prototypes to get to the point where he’s finally delivering on his long-held promises.

The Savic C-Series Alpha is the outcome of more than a decade of determination and persistence. It’s impressive, well executed, ridiculously fast and like nothing you’ve seen on the road before. The torque is addictive, the throttle feel is progressive and the range is credible in real-world use. But it isn’t perfect. The weight is obvious at low speed, the seat is too hard for long stretches and some of the finishing touches don’t match the standard of the bigger-ticket components. But those drawbacks don’t take away from what Savic has achieved.
