Hoi An is strongly transforming into a green tourism city. Over the past 24 hours, the local tourism market has recorded a boom in electric motorbike rentals, especially models utilizing modern battery-swapping technology. Here is a detailed synthesis of the 5 latest news updates and practical experiences for tourists.
The transition from gasoline to electric motorbikes in Hoi An is growing exponentially, driven by major EV tech firms such as Selex Motors and Dat Bike. The biggest highlight in the last 24 hours is the expansion of the next-gen battery-swapping network. Instead of waiting 3 to 4 hours for a full charge, tourists renting electric motorbikes from partner agencies can now swap a depleted battery for a fully charged one in under 2 minutes at automated stations located around the borders of the Ancient Town, An Bang Beach, and Cam Thanh. This technology completely eliminates range anxiety, ensuring an uninterrupted journey for travelers.
Leading electric motorbike rental companies in Hoi An, such as Hoi An EV Rentals and Green Go, have just upgraded to fully digitized management systems. Tourists can now easily book, pay online, and unlock their rental bikes via QR codes on mobile applications without complicated paperwork. The integrated GPS system helps riders locate the nearest charging and battery-swapping stations in real-time. Smart electric motorbike rental rates currently remain stable between 120,000 VND and 180,000 VND per day, depending on whether it is a standard or premium model.
To promote sustainable travel habits, a coalition of electric motorbike rental providers in Hoi An has launched a massive promotional campaign running through the end of the eco-tourism season. Specifically, tourists renting electric motorbikes for 3 days or more will receive an immediate 15% to 20% discount on the total rental cost. The package also includes free perks such as two certified helmets, a physical map featuring free charging spots, and a 24/7 emergency roadside assistance service across Hoi An city limits.
To ensure a safe trip and avoid unnecessary fines, tourists must pay close attention to Hoi An's strict traffic regulations. The Ancient Town bans motor vehicles (including electric motorbikes) from major pedestrian zones (such as Tran Phu, Nguyen Thai Hoc, and Bach Dang streets) during specific hours. Tourists are advised to park their electric motorbikes at dedicated smart parking lots on the outskirts (such as those on Hoang Dieu or Hai Ba Trung streets) for a subsidized rate of only 5,000 VND per turn before exploring the town on foot.
A new milestone in Hoi An's tourism business model is the close cooperation between electric motorbike rental companies and over 50 local homestays and resorts. Tourists can now request an electric vehicle directly at their hotel reception desk. Fully charged electric motorbikes along with helmets will be delivered and picked up on-site free of charge. This convenient service model optimizes tourists' time and experiences while contributing to Hoi An's goal of becoming Vietnam's first zero-carbon tourist destination.
