There’s no doubt that the 24-year-old engineering wunderkind is fully invested in the future of Savic Motorcycles. He’s not only one of their first full-time employees, but in effect joined the company while he was still at school – completing the last year of his engineering degree at RMIT.
Adrian joined Savic at the beginning of 2018, as one of five engineering students who helped Dennis design the mathematical model that was used to test the C-Series prototype’s performance. The model ran repeated simulations to discover how the bike’s weight, shape, power, tyres and other factors would affect its speed and acceleration, in order to ensure the optimal motor specs and gearing ratios for its on-road performance.
After Adrian graduated, he worked briefly as a sales rep for Bosch Rexroth, but he soon realised that his heart wasn’t in it – and he was hankering to get back to the Savic prototype. So when Dennis left his job at Ford and was assembling his core team, there was only one person to fill the engineering spot.
