First Australian electric motorcycle wins Victorian design award

The state awards showcase products and businesses creating cutting-edge and innovative designs.

The Savic C-Series electric motorcycle series are emission-free, full sized and high-performance vehicles.

The series was created by former Ford worker and company chief executive, Dennis Savic, and concept designer David Hendroff.

The vehicle also won the product design category. The judges praised the design for combining the power of a traditional motorcycle with electric technology.

The design was created by a team of RMIT students.

They also received a special commendation award for circular design and sustainability.

The Broadmeadows town hall won the architectural design category and an audio accessibility service for sports broadcast was awarded the digital design prize.

The design awards are spread across eight categories: architectural, communication, digital, product, fashion, service, student and design strategy.
