The electric motorcycle rental market in Hoi An and Da Nang has witnessed significant shifts in the last 24 hours, focusing on greening tourism transport and enhancing customer experience through modern technology. Here are the top 5 news highlights.
In the past 24 hours, Green and Smart Mobility (GSM) officially announced the addition of 500 VinFast Evo200 electric motorcycles to its rental and e-bike taxi network in the Hoi An Ancient Town area. This addition brings the company's total fleet in the Central region to a record high. The VinFast Evo200 is favored for its range of up to 200km per charge and a top speed of 70km/h, making it ideal for trips to Bay Mau Coconut Forest, An Bang Beach, and the city center. GSM has also launched self-drive rental packages starting at just 120,000 VND/day to attract young tourists seeking independence.
An infrastructure milestone occurred as Selex Motors completed the installation of 3 additional smart battery swapping stations along the coastal road connecting Da Nang and Hoi An. This move aims to eliminate "range anxiety" for tourists on long-distance rentals. The system allows Selex Camel users to swap for a fresh battery in just 2 minutes instead of waiting hours for a charge. Local partner rental shops have immediately updated their policies to offer 'unlimited mileage' for tourists, creating a massive competitive advantage over traditional gasoline bikes amid fluctuating fuel prices.
At premium rental outlets, the Dat Bike Quantum has become the center of attention. Over the last 24 hours, Dat Bike partnered with major homestays and hotels in Hoi An to launch an exclusive experience package for Western and Korean tourists. Featuring a massive 41-liter trunk and fast-charging capabilities, the Quantum is positioned as a 'luxury' electric bike in the rental segment. The 'Green Summer' promotion offers a 20% discount for app-based bookings, coupled with a commitment to plastic-free travel. Rental prices range from 250,000 to 300,000 VND/day.
Hoi An city officials recently held a working session with motorcycle rental unions to promote the 'Hoi An - Green Destination' initiative. The latest update confirms that the city will prioritize licensing and convenient parking spots for businesses that transition 100% of their fleet from gasoline to electric. Currently, over 15 large rental shops in Cam Chau and Cua Dai wards have committed to a roadmap for replacing old vehicles with standardized electric models. This initiative not only reduces noise in the Ancient Town but also fosters a sustainable tourism image for international visitors.
A notable trend recorded today is the rollout of 'Electric Bike + Heritage Digital Map' combo packages by rental providers in Da Nang and Hoi An. Renters receive an account for a dedicated map app integrated with charging stations, battery swap points, and hidden 'green' spots. Specifically, programs targeting Korean tourists have been ramped up with Korean-language interfaces and support for popular Korean e-wallets. Pre-orders for the weekend via apps have increased by 40% compared to last week, demonstrating the strong appeal of these green transport services.
