In the past 24 hours, Hoi An authorities officially announced plans to expand priority zones for zero-emission vehicles on key routes leading into the Old Town. Consequently, electric motorbike rental agencies are becoming the centerpiece of the sustainable tourism ecosystem. Companies like Selex Motors and local partners have recorded a 40% increase in rentals compared to the same period last month. The city is considering granting additional permits for smart charging stations at hotels and homestays to support tourists traveling long distances from Da Nang to Hoi An without energy concerns.
The most notable news today is Selex Motors' official partnership with 10 major hospitality chains in the An Bang and Cua Dai beach areas to establish automated battery swapping stations. This solves the biggest challenge for tourists renting electric bikes: charging wait times. Now, tourists renting Selex Camel e-bikes take less than 2 minutes to swap for a fresh battery, ensuring a seamless journey from Da Nang's Son Tra Peninsula to Hoi An's Bay Mau Coconut Forest. This service is currently listed at promotional rental rates starting from 150,000 VND/day.
Leading electric motorbike rental companies in Da Nang and Hoi An have launched the 'Summer Green Vibes' campaign. The highlight is a 30% discount on rental fees for international tourists, specifically targeting the Korean market—the largest local tourist demographic. Guests presenting their passport or a room booking in Hoi An will receive complimentary voluntary travel insurance and a map of free charging points around the Quang Nam area. The program applies to popular models like VinFast Feliz S and Evo 200, favored for their stylish design and ease of operation.
A new trend observed in the past 24 hours is the shift towards the high-performance electric vehicle segment. Many rental shops in Da Nang have added Dat Bike Quantum models to serve tourists who enjoy speed and long-range travel (over 270km per charge). With a massive 41-liter trunk, this model is becoming the top choice for independent travelers needing to carry luggage between the two cities. Rental prices for this premium line range from 250,000 to 350,000 VND/day, including 24/7 on-site emergency assistance.
To enhance user experience, electric motorbike rental units in Hoi An have updated their management systems via mobile apps. Renters can easily check remaining battery levels, find the nearest charging stations, and lock/unlock vehicles remotely via smartphone. This system minimizes theft risks and assists tourists in navigating Hoi An's narrow alleys. The 'Smart EV Rental' trend is predicted to capture 70% of the self-drive vehicle rental market in the region during the peak 2024 summer season, setting a new standard for green transportation services in Vietnam.
