In the last 24 hours, Selex Motors officially announced the completion of 3 additional smart battery swapping stations at strategic lodging points along the route connecting Da Nang and Hoi An. This is a crucial move to address 'range anxiety' for tourists. These stations allow renters to swap for a fresh battery in less than 2 minutes instead of waiting hours for a charge. This service is currently applied to the Selex Camel model, known for its heavy-duty cargo capacity, making it ideal for travelers moving between the two cities with personal belongings.
To stimulate tourism during peak season, Xanh SM Rental has updated its special discount program specifically for the Hoi An and Da Nang markets. Accordingly, tourists renting VinFast Evo200 or Feliz S models for 3 days or more will receive a direct 20% discount on the rental price. Specifically, the rate for the Evo200 is now approximately 120,000 VND/day. The program also includes delivery services to hotels or homestays in the Ancient Town and An Bang Beach areas, providing maximum convenience for users.
Reports from electric motorbike rental agencies in the Cam Chau and Cam An areas indicate that the Dat Bike Weaver++ model is leading the premium rental segment for international visitors. With a design that blends classic and modern elements and performance comparable to gasoline bikes, Dat Bike attracts customers seeking a powerful yet eco-friendly riding experience. Rental units are currently offering 'Eco-Adventure' packages that include a Dat Bike, standard helmets, and maps of ecological village routes in Hoi An.
A significant update today is that Hoi An authorities are discussing a roadmap to expand 'green zones' around the Ancient Town area, where only zero-emission vehicles are permitted. This has prompted homestay and hotel owners to invest heavily in their own electric motorbike fleets. Instead of partnering with third parties, many accommodations have equipped themselves with 5-10 electric motorbikes to serve guests on-site. This not only boosts revenue for the establishments but also contributes to the green tourism image of the heritage city.
Electric motorbike rental startups in Hoi An are beginning to deploy vehicle management systems based on IoT (Internet of Things) technology. Yesterday, a major local rental provider introduced an app that allows customers to book bikes, unlock them via smartphone, and monitor battery levels in real-time. The system also integrates an automated roadside assistance feature: if a vehicle encounters an issue or runs low on battery in remote areas, the system sends an alert to the center to dispatch staff immediately. This is a breakthrough in enhancing customer experience and ensuring absolute safety for tourists exploring Hoi An's outskirts.
