Over the past 24 hours, Hoi An city authorities have taken decisive steps toward realizing their goal of becoming an eco-city. Management units are encouraging tourists to switch from traditional gasoline motorbikes to electric ones to minimize noise and carbon emissions. Electric motorcycle rental companies in the central area and wards like Cam Chau and Cam Pho are reporting a 30% increase in bookings compared to last week. This trend not only protects the environment but also helps tourists navigate easily during hours when gasoline bikes are restricted on several main routes around the ancient town.
To stimulate sustainable tourism, major electric motorcycle rental businesses in Hoi An and Da Nang have simultaneously launched attractive incentive packages. Specifically, for the Korean and Western markets, long-term rental packages (over 3 days) are being discounted by 15% to 20%. Some providers, such as Green Ride Hoi An and EV-Rental Da Nang, are also including digital maps of charging stations and eco-friendly 'check-in' locations. Rental prices range from 150,000 VND to 250,000 VND per day depending on the model, including full insurance and standard helmets.
A major breakthrough in Hoi An's electric vehicle rental service is the connection between rental units and accommodation facilities. In the past day, more than 20 homestays and cafes along Hai Ba Trung Street and the An Bang beach area have completed the installation of fast-charging points for electric motorcycles. This completely resolves tourists' anxiety about running out of battery when traveling long distances from Hoi An to Da Nang or visiting the Bay Mau Coconut Forest. Popular models like VinFast Evo200 or Feliz S, with a range of up to 150km per charge, are becoming the top choice for travelers.
A local tech startup has just introduced an updated version of its EV booking app, allowing tourists to not only book vehicles quickly but also enjoy an integrated 'Virtual Tour Guide' feature. As tourists pass through historical sites on their electric bikes, the app automatically plays audio introductions in multiple languages (Vietnamese, English, Korean). This is a perfect combination of EV technology and cultural experience, elevating rental services in Hoi An to a more professional standard.
With the rapid increase in electric vehicles, city authorities have collaborated with rental companies to issue a new set of traffic safety rules. In the last 24 hours, guides in Korean and English have been attached directly to the bikes and provided via QR codes. The content focuses on instructing the use of electric brakes, how to check battery levels, and parking regulations within the ancient town. This ensures maximum safety for tourists, especially those experiencing electric motorcycles in Vietnam for the first time, while maintaining traffic order in this tourist city.
