In the past 24 hours, Hoi An authorities officially announced a roadmap to enhance zero-emission transport in the ancient town and surrounding areas like Cam Thanh and Tra Que. The highlight is a partnership with electric bike companies to provide over 500 modern electric motorcycles for tourists. These vehicles are optimized for Hoi An's narrow alleys, minimizing noise and emissions to protect the world cultural heritage.
One of the most notable updates is the deployment of rapid Battery Swapping stations at 10 strategic locations around Hoi An. Instead of waiting 3-4 hours for a charge, tourists renting from partners like Selex Motors or Dat Bike can now swap for a full battery in less than 2 minutes at partner convenience stores or cafes. This technology effectively eliminates 'range anxiety' for visitors.
Leading electric motorcycle rental firms in Hoi An have launched a major promotion called 'Hoi An Green Summer.' Groups of 3 or more can enjoy a 20% discount on daily rentals. Additionally, 'Rental + Food Voucher' combos are becoming a hit, offering discounts at famous vegetarian restaurants. Rental prices remain stable at 150,000 VNĐ - 250,000 VNĐ per day.
Statistics from the last 24 hours show that over 45% of rental customers are from South Korea. Korean tourists particularly favor stylish, compact models integrated with smart tech like GPS. In response, many rental shops have updated their apps with Korean interfaces and deployed Korean-speaking staff at pick-up points.
Travel agencies in Hoi An have introduced a new tour product: 'Heritage Discovery by Electric Motorcycle.' Instead of large buses, tourists drive electric bikes led by guides to explore villages like Tra Que or Phuoc Kieu. These tours are integrated with solar charging stations at destinations, promoting a sustainable path for community-based tourism.
