From a very early age, Dennis Savic had a vision: to build a vehicle that would make a significant impact on the industry. This vision drove the Australian engineer to create what is now Savic Motorcycles.


The C-Series, their first product, is a timeless electric Cafe racer, featuring elegant shapes and lines, and incorporating clever engineering solutions, such as the innovative frame.


Turning this dream into a real company required tremendous effort. We meticulously worked through the nuts and bolts to bring it to life. This involved numerous iterations, developing specific solutions, and navigating growth, customer acquisition, market dynamics, and revenue generation.


Building the company was a complex and challenging process. Two key aspects stood out: Dennis values company culture and sustainable growth. As he puts it, “Not scale quickly, but scale properly".
