In the past 24 hours, a significant shift has been observed among electric motorbike rental agencies in Hoi An as they upgrade their fleets to the VinFast Evo200 series. The standout feature of this model is its impressive range of up to 200km per charge, allowing tourists to travel beyond the Ancient Town to neighboring areas like Da Nang, Bay Mau Coconut Forest, or Cu Lao Cham ferry terminals without range anxiety. Major players like Hoi An E-Bike Rental and Green Travel have announced plans to replace 80% of their older stock with these new GPS-enabled models to enhance tourist safety.
A notable development is the collaboration between major coffee chains in Hoi An and electric vehicle rental providers. Fast-charging stations have now been installed along the route from An Bang Beach to the Ancient Town. This infrastructure helps eliminate 'range anxiety' for travelers. Specifically, the 'Battery Swap' service (swapping a battery in under 2 minutes) is being piloted at key traffic hubs. Instead of waiting for a recharge, renters can simply stop by a partner location to exchange a depleted battery for a full one, ensuring an uninterrupted journey.
Hoi An’s rental companies are leading the way in tech integration. To avoid the risks associated with leaving physical passports as collateral, customers can now complete procedures via mobile apps or electronic ID/Passport verification. Most importantly, current e-bike rental packages now include extended third-party liability insurance and hull insurance. Data from the last 24 hours shows a 35% increase in e-bike rentals compared to petrol bikes, driven by contactless pickup processes and transparent digital contracts.
The Hoi An municipal government is accelerating the 'Pedestrian Streets and Non-Motorized Vehicles' initiative. According to the latest updates, green vehicles like electric motorbikes will receive priority parking near the Ancient Town core with a 50% discount or total fee waiver. This provides a massive advantage for tourists, saving both time in searching for parking and extra costs. Rental agencies are capitalizing on this by providing 'Green Maps' that guide visitors through scenic routes and eco-friendly stopovers.
Heading into the peak tourist season, e-bike rental providers in Hoi An and Da Nang have launched attractive promotional campaigns. The highlight is the 'Stay & Ride' combo, which bundles Homestay/Villa bookings with electric vehicle services. Guests booking rooms receive vouchers to rent e-bikes starting from just 80,000 VND/day. Furthermore, a 20% discount is widely available for groups of 5 or more to encourage sustainable group travel. A 24/7 free rescue service within a 15km radius is also a key commitment from providers to ensure a seamless customer experience.
