    Savic  Motorcycles  founder  Dennis  Savic,  an  ex-Ford  engineer  has  developed
    Australia’s first electric motorbike, which has begun production in Melbourne

    The  recent  completion  of  Savic  Motorcycles’  $1.8  million  capital  raise  has
    enabled  the  company  to  project  an  ambitious  product  roadmap  beyond  the
    release  of  the  first  C-Series  motorcycles  later  this  year.  The  broad  suite  of  future  light  electric
    vehicles and urban motorcycles has also meant trimming the C-Series portfolio to remove the entry-
    level Omega model.
























    “With the exciting new e-mobility products we have coming to the Australian market in the near
    future, we felt there were not sufficient market distinctions between the Omega and a new series of
    LAMS Approved e-motorcycles we currently have in development,” explains CEO Dennis Savic.

     “However, our C-Series customers are the foundation of our company and we are committed to
    honouring and building those Omegas already on order. These customers stuck by us when COVID
    delayed our initial production timeline and we wouldn’t be here today without their loyal support.”

    Savic Motorcycles has also announced a small price increase on their remaining C-Series models,
    the Alpha and Delta.  The Alpha will retail at $26,990* Ride Away while the Delta will retail at
    $19,990* Ride Away.
     “In  a  year  of  hard  decisions  within  a  challenging  landscape  for  small  businesses  and  start-up
    companies, we’ve seen significant increases  in  costs on  raw materials  and global  logistics,”  says
    Dennis.  “As  a  start-up  we’ve  tried  to  absorb  these  costs  as  much  as  we  can,  but  if  we  want  to
    continue the legacy we’ve started as Australia’s high-performance e-motorcycle manufacturer and
    show the world what Aussies can do in the e-mobility space, we need to make viable decisions for
    the future of our business.”
