1. Booming Trend of Battery-Swapping Electric Motorbike Rentals in Hoi An
Over the past 24 hours, the Hoi An travel community has been buzzing about the convenience of the new generation of electric motorbikes integrated with high-speed battery-swapping technology. Unlike traditional EVs that take 4-8 hours to fully charge, these new models using smart lithium-ion batteries (such as Selex Motors and the new VinFast Evo200) allow tourists to swap batteries in under 2 minutes at mobile service points. This completely eliminates range anxiety when traveling from the Ancient Town to An Bang Beach or the Bay Mau coconut forest.

5. Essential Practical Tips for Riding EVs in Hoi An
Tourists should note the pedestrian-only hours in the core of Hoi An Ancient Town (from 09:00 - 11:00 and 15:00 - 21:30 daily), during which all motorbikes are banned. Smart parking lots outside the old town boundaries are available for a flat rate of 5,000 VND. Always check the battery percentage on the LCD screen before starting a long trip to My Son Sanctuary (about 40km away) and save the rental company's 24/7 roadside assistance hotline.
