Brisbane Riders Hit the Throttle

Our next stop on the national test ride tour? Sunny Brisbane.

We welcomed 27 test riders across a vibrant weekend hosted inside the Bellissimo Café roastery workshop in Coorparoo - an ideal setting for a café racer experience. Coffee and bikes? Yes please. Each guest was treated to a Bellissimo brew before heading out on a test ride route that looped through Norman Park, along the river, and back past the Gabba.

Thankfully the weather held out, and the sun stuck around both days. The Savic team - Victoria, Sam and Nicole - were thrilled to meet local riders, along with a few of our brilliant supporters and investors who popped in to see the C-Series in action.

The perfect location for a Cafe racer - at one of Australia's most loved coffee roasters.

Rider Reactions: "It’s the Future"

Here’s what some of our Brisbane test riders had to say after experiencing the C-Series firsthand:

"Impressive, balance and acceleration. Great handling, it was surprising how easy it was to manoeuvre - far easier than I anticipated given the weight. Surprisingly stable at low speeds. I stayed in Sports mode the majority of time, acceleration was deceptively fast, you just twist and then you're at speed. Really impressive. It's the future." - Nathan

"Great handling, it was really smooth and balanced. Controllable at slow speeds. High speed was smooth and super fast (and LOTS of fun). Steering felt very natural, no resistance in the corners. EVs are great - even Eco mode was really fun." - Shaun.

"Super stable and super flicky at the same time. You go into a corner and it just pulls you back up seamlessly, when you tip into the corner it feels really solid and stable doesn't feel 280kg at all. The acceleration was HECTIC. My wife and I love the Superman ride at Movieworld, and we've always said if we were Bill Gates rich we'd build our own - and that's what this bike - it's incredible" - Michael

"What really impressed me is the TFT dash, the screen is nice. Information is really helpful and uses good design language, you're not having to search for info. You know what you're looking at. The instant power of the throttle in sports mode was amazing - there's no delay it's just instant power - in any mode that you ride in actually. Definitely an adjustment and you have to throw all your habits out the window and learn to ride in a different way, different but really cool way" - Tim

"Felt really snappy off the line, so the ride was really enjoyable. What I like the most is the design and style of it. You can see people turning their heads. It's really distinctive and clean. Clean, crisp beautiful lines." Boden
