Frequently Asked Questions
Buying, Delivery & Customisation
The base C-Series starts at $29,990 AUD, designed and built in Melbourne using premium components like Brembo brakes, Bosch ABS, and a high-quality finish. Each bike is built to order to suit the owner’s preferences, with options for custom paint, badging, seat choices, and accessories.
Price of $29,990 is indicative, and subject to final bike specifications. Includes estimated taxes, fees, and GST, but excludes on-road costs.
You can start by building your ideal C-Series using our online configurator and submitting your build. Once submitted, a member of the Savic team will contact you to discuss your configuration, answer any questions, and guide you through the next steps.

On‑road costs are included for all Victorian builds, with registration completed prior to delivery.
For interstate deliveries, Savic Motorcycles can support the on‑road registration process remotely and guide you through the required steps. However, at this stage, we are unable to provide on‑road registration completed upon delivery outside of Victoria.
For more information and support, C‑Series owners can visit the C‑Series Owners Hub
Each C-Series is built to order, allowing owners to personalise their bike with a choice of paint finishes, badging colours, seat options, and accessories. More options continue to be developed. Start building your C-Series today using our online configurator.
Charging, Range & Battery
With a 15 amp outlet or public Level 2 AC charger, a full charge can be completed in under 6 hours from 0 – 100%, or ~4 hours to 80%. Overnight charging on a standard 10-amp outlet is a cost-effective option.
The C-Series comes with a 3.3 kW onboard AC charger and a standard Type 2 (IEC 62196) plug — compatible with most public AC EV chargers and home outlets. It will draw ~1.8 kW on a standard 240 V outlet or up to 3.3 kW from a 15 amp circuit or public Level 2 AC charger.
You can charge your C-Series from any standard 240 V wall socket using the charging cable included with the bike. For faster charging, a 15 amp outlet or public Level 2 EV charger will reduce overall time.
The C-Series offers a practical range for riders. In city riding where low speeds and low road loads are common, our top spec C-Series Alpha has an estimated range of over 220km, while on the highway due to higher speeds and aerodynamic drag at 100kph, you can expect an estimated range of 140km for the C-Series Alpha.
Several factors influence an electric motorcycles range, you can find out more here:https://www.savicmotorcycles.com/blog/what-affects-the-range-of-an-electric-motorcycle
Range depends on rider speed, temperature, load, terrain, and riding style - higher speeds and hills use more energy, while lower speeds and regenerative braking help extend range. (Industry-typical EV range variables.)
The C-Series currently does not support DC fast charging. It charges exclusively via AC. Savic is exploring options to increase AC charging speeds while protecting long-term battery health.
As Savic Motorcycles’ batteries weigh more than 80kg and are fitted into the chassis of our vehicles, it is not possible to swap out the battery to charge separately.
Current estimates for replacing a C-Series battery are between $5,000 and $10,000, roughly similar to a full engine rebuild on a petrol motorcycle.
The battery uses Lithium-ion NMC 811 cells (Nickel, Manganese, Cobalt) selected for their high energy and power density.
The C-Series battery is designed for long-term durability. Based on cell manufacturer laboratory testing, the battery cells are rated for over 2,000 charge cycles to 80% capacity when charged and discharged at a 1C rate - which is more demanding than normal day-to-day riding and charging conditions.
In practical terms, this could theoretically equate to 200,000 km or more of riding under steady freeway use, and potentially more under mixed riding conditions.
Actual battery life will vary depending on factors such as riding style, charging habits, temperature, speed, and overall use. As with all electric vehicles, real-world performance may differ from laboratory test results.
Technical & Performance
Yes, the C-Series has regenerative motor braking, through which electrical power from the motor is momentarily generated to slow down the vehicle. The production of electricity produces a torque in the opposite direction of the rear wheel’s rotation, which slows the vehicle without any wear on the mechanical brakes.
The strength of the regenerative motor braking is customisable via the dash, and can provide a considerable amount of stopping power, used in a similar way to engine braking on an internal combustion motorcycle. However, we always recommend that our riders use regenerative braking in conjunction with their mechanical brakes to ensure a safer ride.

Like most electric motorcycles, the C-Series is single-geared and does not have gears or a clutch - to operate, you just ‘twist and go’.
To learn more about how an electric motorcycle works, please read our blog:https://www.savicmotorcycles.com/blog/do-electric-motorcycles-have-gears
The C-Series supports four pre-programmed riding modes - Normal, Rain, Eco and Sport - with optimal levels of power, throttle response, and regenerative engine braking for different riding conditions.
Rain mode limits the wheel torque to reduce the chances of wheel slip in wet weather. Eco aims to optimise efficiency and range, while Normal mode is tuned by the Savic Motorcycles team for a great overall commuting or leisure-riding experience. Sport mode removes all the power restrictions on the vehicle, to give you optimal performance.
We also have three customisable modes which enable riders to program their preferred levels of power and regenerative braking to suit their personal riding styles.
All of these riding modes can be programmed through the Settings function on the C-Series’ touchscreen dash and you can toggle through them while riding by using the button on the handlebars.
Learn more about our custom ride modes with these two articles:
Yes, the C-Series has cruise control as standard which is activated by a button on the handlebars.
Yes. Software updates and performance features will be delivered over the air using the motorcycle’s on-board 4G modem.
With instant-on torque and ~80 kW power, the C-Series delivers punchy acceleration and linear power delivery, offering performance that rivals many petrol motorcycles (80 kW/220 Nm typical spec as noted through combined product info).
Yes. The C-Series is designed to maintain strong power delivery at highway speeds above 80 km/h without significant power drop-off, unlike some EV rivals.
Yes. The C-Series is designed to be ridden in all weather conditions, including rain. It features waterproof connectors and a sealed battery enclosure to protect critical systems from moisture.

Service & Support
You'll have your first service after your first month of ownership to check in and make sure everything is working perfectly for you.
From there, it's every 12 months or 12,000kms.
Savic is rolling out an authorised service partner network across major metropolitan areas, with additional locations coming soon. All partners are trained in EV-specific servicing and maintenance.
You can view our current service partners on the Service & Maintenance page.
Service costs may vary depending on usage and location, but servicing an electric motorcycle is generally more affordable than an internal combustion engine (ICE) bike. This is due to the reduced number of moving parts and fewer consumable components.
For a detailed breakdown of service intervals and what’s included at each stage, please visit our Service & Maintenance page, where you can view the full service schedule for the C-Series.
The C-Series has a 2 year warranty.
The battery and battery management system has a 5 year warranty.
