Over the past 24 hours, the Hoi An tourism market recorded a major milestone with the launch of a large-scale electric motorbike rental complex situated right next to the main gateway leading into the Ancient Town. The operator has deployed over 200 next-generation electric motorbikes integrated with GPS tracking and smart anti-theft locks. This event immediately captured the attention of the backpacking community due to a streamlined rental process via mobile application requiring no complex asset deposits, unlocking a new era of green, self-guided travel for visitors to this World Cultural Heritage site.
A giant leap in Hoi An's green transport infrastructure was established as an alliance of electric motorbike manufacturers and rental agencies announced the completion of 10 automated rapid battery-swapping stations at strategic locations, including An Bang Beach, Thanh Ha Pottery Village, and Cua Dai coastal roads. This battery-swapping technology, taking less than 30 seconds, completely eliminates the biggest worry of tourists: running out of power mid-journey. Instead of waiting 3 to 4 hours for a full charge, renters can now simply scan a QR code at the station, swap their depleted battery for a fully charged one, and seamlessly continue their trip.
To stimulate sustainable tourism for the year-end season, the Hoi An Electric Motorbike Rental Association, in coordination with a network of over 50 local homestays and hotels, launched a special promotional campaign starting today. Specifically, tourists booking accommodation at partner properties will instantly receive a 30% discount voucher on daily electric motorbike rentals (originally priced at VND 120,000 - 180,000/day, now starting at just VND 84,000/day). Notably, the program includes free unlimited battery-swapping privileges at all stations during the rental period, helping travelers maximize cost savings.
Hoi An municipal authorities, in partnership with green mobility startups, have announced a plan to study and pilot a "Zero-Emission Route" model in several buffer zones of the Ancient Town. Under this initiative, during peak hours, traditional internal combustion engine vehicles will be restricted, giving absolute priority to bicycles and electric motorbikes. This move not only protects the pristine environment of the heritage site but also triggers a surge in demand for self-drive electric motorbike rentals. Rental companies have quickly adapted by enhancing doorstep delivery services to customers at the boundaries of the piloted green zones.
Quick statistics from Hoi An tourism information offices over the past 24 hours indicate that the volume of international tourists—particularly from South Korea, Australia, and European countries—choosing to rent electric motorbikes has surged by 45% compared to the same period last week. Travelers highly appreciate the noiselessness, zero emissions, smoothness, and environmental protection of electric motorbikes. The trend toward smart battery-swapping models is dominating the market, driving a major shift from traditional gasoline motorcycle rentals to high-quality smart electric vehicle dealerships.
