In the last 24 hours, the Hoi An tourism industry has recorded a significant shift from gasoline motorcycles to electric vehicles (EVs). Major rental companies have upgraded their GPS navigation systems and integrated IoT (Internet of Things) technology into their fleets. This allows tourists to scan QR codes on the bikes to unlock them and pay directly via an app. According to operator data, the booking rate for electric motorcycles in the ancient town center has increased by 35% compared to last week, with the VinFast Evo200 and Klara S models being particularly popular due to their smooth and eco-friendly performance.
To promote sustainable tourism, electric motorcycle rental providers in Hoi An and Da Nang have launched their biggest promotion of the year. Specifically, tourists (especially those from Korea, Europe, and the US) who rent for 3 days or more will receive a direct 20% discount. Prices range from 150,000 VND to 250,000 VND per day depending on the model. This package includes free travel insurance and 24/7 roadside assistance within a 20km radius between Hoi An and Da Nang, ensuring peace of mind for travelers moving between the two cities.
A prominent new trend announced by travel agencies is 'Eco-Electric Tours.' Instead of taking buses, tourists now prefer renting electric motorcycles to explore Tra Que Vegetable Village and Cam Thanh Coconut Forest on their own. The advantages of electric bikes—no noise and no emissions—are perfect for the peaceful atmosphere of Hoi An's outskirts. Rental shops now provide digital maps of charging stations along these routes to ensure uninterrupted journeys.
The growth of rental services is going hand-in-hand with infrastructure upgrades. In the last 24 hours, over 15 major accommodation sites in Hoi An have completed the installation of fast-charging stations for electric bikes. This effectively solves the battery anxiety for tourists on multi-day trips. Some rental units also offer mobile battery swapping services, taking less than 2 minutes to replace a depleted battery with a full one, providing maximum convenience for users.
Local authorities have recently moved to tighten the use of internal combustion engine motorcycles and encourage electric vehicles within the heritage core. Rental companies have quickly seized this opportunity by importing classic-style electric bikes (Classic EVs) to match the aesthetic of the ancient town. This trend not only creates a high-quality aesthetic tourism experience but also contributes to the preservation of Hoi An's World Cultural Heritage values.
