Mark (CFO) and Logan (CIO):

Our strategy is to produce a lot of shareholder value over the next 5 years. Exit ramps are fairly straightforward when we’ve got significant profitability which we forecast in the later years in particular.
Some of the options: IPO and list the company (depending on the view of the majority shareholders and management team). Another approach would be for the majority shareholders to buy out the minorities. In addition to that there are options of setting up buy back programs where smaller investors can exit via share buy backs. There’s always the secondary market, which, in successful private companies, do exist.

Dennis (CEO) and Logan (CIO):

We're using a mechanism called a convertible note. If people aren't familiar, basically, it is an investment that converts to equity in a certain timeframe or with a certain event. So Mark mentioned a potential exit being an IPO or initial public offering. 
If that happens in the next 12 months before the 24 months maturity of the note, then the convertible note will convert to equity as part of that process. And the same goes for, should we raise a larger amount of capital, or someone takes a controlling stake in the business. So we're basically just not giving the company a particular valuation today. 
We're using this as a bridging round to get to profitability, to grow the business before we go back out to the market and look to value the business that way. So the convertible note comes with an 8% simple interest to fund. So what that means is that, for example, if we convert at maturity in two years and you invest 50 grand, $58,000 will convert the equity at that time. 
So that's 8% over two years. Then on top of that, there is also a 20% discount on the next valuation. So if we, for example, raise capital next at say $100 million, your $58,000 investment will convert at an $80 million valuation, not $100 million valuation. So that's the mechanism that we use.

Logan (CIO):

Liquidity is our broker that is handling all of the bids and investments for this round of capital raising.

Logan (CIO):

Please go to the liquidity platform to lodge your interest: Savic on Liquidity

You'll need to be a 708/Sophisticated Investor to participate in this round. If you're unsure about your 708 status, there are a number of pathways. A letter from your accountant is one of those ways to qualify, but our platform provider Liquidity will follow up directly with you and determine if another pathway is more appropriate for you. So if you're not sure that's okay, still lodge your interest on Liquidity and the broker (Liquidity) will reach out directly and can work through the different 708 pathways to see which one may be appropriate.

Dennis (CEO):

Adoption is low simply because affordable, ADR-approved high-performance EV bikes haven’t existed (not because riders don't want the,, but because there haven't been many options).

Savic is the first to offer a product at ICE-comparable pricing. With minimal marketing we’ve secured A$2.2 m in orders and a 47% conversion from test rides to deposits - proving latent demand. Before entering any new region, we’ll run a pre-order campaign to validate local appetite, funding operational spend only once sales are locked in.

Victoria (Chief Growth Officer):

We have a couple of key data points that we’ve modeled our growth on.
Looking at the local Australian market: We see Australia’s motorcycle market growing consistently at 1.4% out to 2030, but the growth being driven by electric motorbikes, which is projected to grow at 12.4% from 2025 to 2034 to 160mn in 2034.

EV penetration into the motorbike market in Australia is about 7 years behind passenger vehicle penetration, so we’re able to see a projected penetration rate which shows that the rate of adoption. That’s data from the Australian Automobile Association that helps us have an insight into how the adoption rate may scale.

Looking more broadly at the global market, we’re seeing electric motorcycles projected to grow from 7bn in 2022 to 17.2bn in 2030 with a CAGR or 11.9%. [Source: Market Research Future]

Our five year model assumes that Savic will grow to 2% of AU motorcycle market by year 5 and under 1% in each of the global markets we plan to enter - so conservative, achievable growth volumes, not heroic forecasts.

Dennis (CEO):

Great question. Most of the new European entrants you’re reading about are building 11 kW city run-abouts. Savic competes one rung up, in the high-performance café-racer segment - where, today, the field is really just LiveWire, Zero and us.

Here’s why we’re confident:
Proof in hand: our bikes are already ADR-approved and in customer garages; most EU start-ups are still showing models and prototypes.
Significant head start: we’ve finished the expensive R&D (battery pack, power-train, ABS, EMC) and have a 12-month production pipeline running. A new entrant would need 24–30+ months (and $$$$) to catch up.
Direct-to-rider model: we sell online and run mobile ride-days, so we keep more margin than dealer-based competitors, allowing us to price differently while staying premium.
Performance for price: High performance with a 200 km range at a price comparable to a high-end ICE café-racer, nobody else offers that mix.
Scalable vision: our products are designed for volume (6 000+ units p.a. within five years), not for a €100k halo niche. That matters to investors looking for meaningful market share.

So while Europe will see plenty of small electric commuters, Savic delivers a different proposition: proven, high-performance, design-led and price-competitive, backed by a business model that protects margin as we scale.

Dennis (CEO):

We have trademarks and design registrations, and that is really the IP we've got in place today. We develop all of our own software so that’s a trade secret. We also have our supplier and manufacturing network and tech providers that helps to build up our IP, that’s a really strong asset that we hold.

We have a proposed IP Protection Strategy from an IP law firm which is something we’ll look at activating in the coming years. Our goal right now is profitability and being self-sustaining. We protect what we need to protect right now.

Marc (Chief Tech Officer):

Yes, and I'll give a bit of a charging background. So we use the same type 2 charger as Tesla, BYD, and a number of others. 
So it's inherently compatible with all the EVs on on the market and all the very many chargers that are out there through the suburbs and a lot of towns. That charger currently will charge from essentially flat 0% up to 80% in four and a half hours on a 15amp outlet. So the customer cost-to convenience ratio didn't really drive us to add that larger, very high-energy charger system on the bike. 


It's currently running a 3.3 kilowatt charger, which is about mid-range.

But that all that said, even though the charging time's not unreasonable, yes, you could easily predict that the future roadmap may have that like an ultra level onboard fast charging as well.

Chris (COO):

One of our biggest challenges is reliance on shipping and shipping routes. The best mitigation we can give ourselves in the short term is increasing the lead times that we work to with our suppliers. We try to order parts earlier than required to give the shipping portion of the lead time as much room as possible. This obviously increases our inventory and WIP, which is undesirable from a liability standpoint. In the medium term we are vetting logistics partners with more reliable routes and contingency options to allow us to bring those lead times back in again.
The second major challenge we face is our relatively immature supply chain, building trusted supplier relationships takes time - we can’t simply start with the multi-year partnerships that mature companies enjoy.. We’re working closely with our suppliers to ensure they understand our quality and timing needs. As with all relationships the trust needs to be built which makes these early stages delicate to try and push for the outcomes we require without burning the relationship for the long term. Luckily we have some really good people in both of our major supply countries of India and China who are building those relationships face to face.

Mark (Chief Financial Officer):

7,000 bikes a year is sounds like a lot of bikes but from where we are now, but in reality, it's a very small component of the market.

Once we get through this final cap raise, we’ll be self-funding and won’t need additional equity financing to get to that number.
Our funding needs are modest by design and as such we offer low risk to shareholders.
Our strategy includes access to working capital funding supported by the Government of the Province in China where we are establishing our manufacturing facility.

Victoria (Chief Growth Officer):

Our pipeline is full right now with $2.2mn in orders, and we have a further $4.5mn in pipeline from people who have placed a deposit down and are waiting for their test ride before they sign their contract.

Looking more broadly than that, outside of just the next 12 months, we'll be continuing to have a mobile test ride program, visiting cities in every state, making sure that we can stay really lean and meet a lot of those geographical needs without having to spend a lot of capex in setting up showrooms all over Australia.

And that will also be our approach when we enter other global markets. We'll have one really amazing flagship location and then we'll continue to service and convert through mobile test ride programs. Our whole goal is what is the most efficient way that we can do this and that we can scale that presents the least amount of risk for our supporters.

I think what is exciting for us is that our marketing activities to date have been incredibly conservative, like less than $1,000 on ads every month, which if you're familiar with digital ads, you know that's almost nothing. Most months, it's like $400 or $500. 
And that's gotten us to where we are. So when we do start to scale our marketing activity, I think it's going to be quite, I don't want to say easy, but I think it's very achievable.
