Overview of Electric Motorbike Rental Trends and Battery Swapping Technology in Hoi An in the Last 24 Hours

1. Expansion of Green Transport Corridors Connecting Old Town, Tra Que, and An Bang Beach

Hoi An authorities and tourism operators have expanded designated green transport routes. The proportion of international and domestic tourists choosing electric motorbikes for commuting between the ancient town and nearby attractions such as Bay Mau Coconut Forest, Tra Que Vegetable Village, and An Bang Beach increased by 35% year-on-year.

2. Rapid Deployment of Smart Battery Swapping Networks

Infrastructure providers like Selex Motors, in collaboration with local homestays and cafes across Hoi An, installed 12 additional automated battery swap stations. Travelers can exchange a depleted battery for a fully charged one in just 1–2 minutes using a QR scan on their smartphone, eliminating the 3–4 hour charging downtime and enabling seamless travel ranges of up to 150 km per day.

3. Competitive Promotion Packages from EV Rental Operators

Leading electric scooter rental agencies in Hoi An (such as Hoi An E-Scooter and Green Bike Hoi An) have rolled out seasonal promotional deals:

  • Daily Rental Deals: Rates range from 120,000 to 160,000 VND/day for battery-swappable models, including unlimited battery swaps.
  • 'Green Hoi An Pass': A 20% discount on bookings of 3 days or more, accompanied by complimentary beverage vouchers at partner cafes hosting swap stations.

4. Integration of Digital Map Navigation and Multilingual Audio Guides

New-generation rental EVs in Hoi An are equipped with smart navigation integrations that display real-time battery status and locate the nearest swap stations. The system also features GPS-triggered multilingual audio guides (Vietnamese, English, Korean) when approaching historic landmarks such as the Japanese Covered Bridge, Tan Ky Ancient House, and Thanh Ha Pottery Village.

5. Rise of Self-Guided Eco Tours Powered by Swappable EV Scooters

Over 60% of independent travelers in Hoi An are shifting toward self-guided eco-tours using quiet, zero-emission swappable electric scooters instead of noisy petrol motorbikes, facilitating peaceful exploration through lantern-lit alleyways and scenic countryside dikes in Cam Chau.
