Over the past 24 hours, Hoi An city authorities have reaffirmed their commitment to transitioning transportation infrastructure toward sustainability. Core heritage areas will give absolute priority to zero-emission vehicles. This has been a major catalyst, with local electric motorcycle rental businesses reporting a 35% increase in inquiries. The trend of tourists choosing e-bikes over gasoline scooters is driven not only by environmental protection but also by the desire to enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of the Old Town.
GSM (Xanh SM) has announced plans to add 200 VinFast Feliz S and Evo200 electric motorcycles to the Hoi An area. The latest update in the last 24 hours is the integration of a 'Self-Guided Tour' feature on their app, allowing tourists to rent bikes in 12-hour or 24-hour packages starting at just 120,000 VND. This service is creating healthy competition with traditional rental agencies, driving up the overall quality of electric bikes in the market.
A coalition of EV startups has officially launched 5 additional fast-charging stations on routes leading to Tra Que Vegetable Village and Bay Mau Coconut Forest. This development completely addresses tourists' 'range anxiety' when traveling far from the center. These stations are compatible with popular models like Dat Bike and VinFast, offering charging speeds from 20% to 80% in just 30 minutes, helping tourists optimize their sightseeing schedules.
According to data from booking platforms like Booking and Agoda, there is a surging trend among Hoi An accommodations to integrate electric motorcycle rentals into room rates. In the past 24 hours, over 20 homestays in the An Bang Beach area have launched a program offering 2 hours of free e-bike experience for guests. The most sought-after models are those with vintage designs, perfect for photoshoots while still providing powerful motors for coastal terrain.
To stimulate low-season tourism, leading e-bike rental companies in Hoi An have simultaneously launched the 'Green Wednesday' program. Specifically, tourists renting e-bikes on Wednesdays receive an immediate 20% discount and complimentary voluntary travel insurance. Additionally, free delivery within a 5km radius of the Old Town center is being fully implemented, providing maximum convenience for international tourists, particularly those from Korea and Europe who favor eco-friendly transportation.
