In the last 24 hours, Selex Motors officially announced the completion of Phase 1 of its automated battery swapping station network across Da Nang's key tourist areas, including Son Tra District, Ngu Hanh Son, and along My Khe Beach. This solution completely resolves the battery range anxiety of tourists traveling longer distances to destinations like Son Tra Peninsula or the Marble Mountains. Instead of waiting 3 to 4 hours for a full charge, tourists renting Selex electric motorbikes can now swap for a fully charged battery in less than 2 minutes via a mobile app. This is considered a major milestone in promoting the 'Zero-Emission Green Tourism' model in the Han River city.
The electric motorbike rental market in Da Nang is witnessing a massive boom in the VinFast Evo200 Lite segment. According to major rental agencies in Da Nang, booking volumes today surged by 45% compared to last week. To boost summer tourism, partners collaborating with Xanh SM have launched the 'Bright Green Summer' promotion, offering an immediate 15% discount on daily rental fees for tourists booking through the app or at service booths at Da Nang International Airport. This model is highly favored for its stylish design, spacious under-seat storage convenient for tourists' belongings, and an outstanding travel range of over 200km per charge.
A prominent new trend widely shared among Da Nang travel communities in the past 24 hours is the experience of conquering the legendary Hai Van Pass on high-performance electric motorbikes. The Dat Bike Weaver++ and Dat Bike Quantum models are emerging as the top choices for young adventurers and international tourists. Rental shops in central Da Nang have quickly updated their inventory, offering Dat Bike daily rentals ranging from VND 200,000 to VND 300,000 per day. With powerful acceleration and regenerative braking systems that ensure safety during steep descents, electric motorbikes are gradually replacing traditional internal combustion engine bikes on this famous scenic route.
To optimize the tourist experience, several tech startups in collaboration with major rental operators in Da Nang have launched a pilot program for a smart electric motorbike rental system integrated with IoT technology. Tourists only need to scan a QR code on the vehicle using a mobile app to unlock the bike, complete automatic payments, and return the vehicle at designated spots around the city without having to meet in person to hand over physical keys. The service is currently piloting 100 vehicles along the coastal routes of Vo Nguyen Giap and Truong Sa streets, receiving highly positive feedback from tech-savvy young travelers.
The People's Committee of Da Nang, in collaboration with the Department of Tourism, recently held a working session with hotel associations to accelerate the transition to green transportation. Accordingly, 3- to 5-star hotels in the city that partner with electric motorbike rental companies to provide free or subsidized electric bike services for in-house guests will receive marketing support and priority for the 'Green Accommodation' label. This trend is particularly attractive to Korean and European tourists, who highly value eco-friendly travel options. Currently, over 50 major hotels in Da Nang have signed memoranda of understanding (MOUs) to implement this service ahead of the upcoming peak tourist season.
