Over the past 24 hours, the electric motorcycle market in Hoi An has recorded a strong breakthrough in fast battery-swapping technology. Tech-ev brand Selex Motors, along with major local rental partners, completed upgrading their automated battery-swapping network to 15 stations around the Ancient Town and routes leading to An Bang and Cua Dai beaches. Instead of waiting 3-4 hours to fully charge, tourists renting new-generation e-motorcycles now take less than 2 minutes to swap for a fully charged battery at automated battery ATMs. This completely eliminates range anxiety when traveling to distant destinations like My Son Sanctuary or Bay Mau Coconut Forest.
To stimulate sustainable tourism, a coalition of major electric motorcycle rental shops in Hoi An (including Hoi An Eco-Rides and GreenGo) launched a massive promotional campaign starting today. Tourists renting electric motorbikes for 2 days or more will receive an immediate 15% discount on the total bill, free delivery to hotels within a 5km radius, and a free digital green travel map featuring free charging and swapping stations. Rental prices remain highly competitive, ranging from only 120,000 VND to 180,000 VND/day depending on the model.
According to quick reports from Hoi An tourist transport rental agencies, the VinFast Evo200 Lite is leading the list of most sought-after vehicles today. Featuring a stylish Italian design, a spacious 22-liter under-seat trunk, and an impressive range of up to 205 km per single charge, this model is ideal for self-sufficient couples. Rental agencies recommend that tourists book at least 24 hours in advance via website or hotline to secure an Evo200 Lite during peak weekend days.
The Hoi An City People's Committee has issued the latest guidelines regarding the management of electric vehicles serving tourism. Accordingly, tourists renting electric motorbikes should note: the maximum speed limit in the outer areas of the Ancient Town is 30 km/h; electric motorbikes are strictly prohibited in pedestrian zones during restricted hours. Rental shops are required to provide standard helmets and detailed operating instructions to foreign tourists before handing over the vehicle.
To enhance tourist safety, over 80% of rental electric motorcycles in Hoi An have been upgraded with real-time GPS tracking and anti-theft Smartkey systems over the past day. This technology helps tourists easily locate their parked vehicles in crowded spots, while rental agencies can provide instant remote technical support via mobile apps in case of road incidents. Tourists are encouraged to test the Smartkey functions and save the emergency hotline number printed on the vehicle before departure.
