In the past 24 hours, the tourism market in Hoi An has seen a significant surge in electric motorcycle rental services. This is not just a mode of transport but part of the 'Green Tourism' campaign the city is aiming for. Here are the 5 most important updates for tourists.
According to the latest news from the Hoi An Tourism Management Board, pedestrian streets around the Ancient Town are expanding priority access for zero-emission vehicles. Electric scooters from reputable rental agencies are allowed to get closer to transit points compared to traditional gas bikes, helping tourists reach attractions like the Japanese Covered Bridge more easily.
Today, several major rental companies in Hoi An announced fleet upgrades. The VinFast Evo200 and Dat Bike Weaver++ are now dominating the market. With a range of 150-200km per charge, tourists can comfortably travel between Hoi An and Da Nang, visiting Marble Mountains or Son Tra Peninsula without battery anxiety. Prices range from 150,000 to 250,000 VND/day.
Fast-charging stations have been added to the Bay Mau Coconut Forest area and along An Bang Beach. Rental providers now offer mobile apps for real-time charging station tracking. A 30-minute charge can reach 70% capacity, ensuring an uninterrupted journey. Many local homestays also provide free standard charging for guests.
Leading rental firms launched promotional combos this morning. Specifically, renting for 3+ days grants a 20% discount or a complimentary afternoon tea voucher in the Ancient Town. Groups renting 5+ bikes receive free delivery to hotels/resorts and 24/7 technical support.
While electric bikes are easy to ride, Hoi An authorities are increasing checks on ID and licenses for high-capacity models. Renters should carefully review contracts, especially insurance clauses for body damage and third-party liability. Ensure you understand how to use electronic braking and regenerative systems, particularly for rainy conditions in Central Vietnam.
