Over the past 24 hours, the electric motorbike rental service market in Da Nang has seen significant shifts to serve the peak tourist season. Below are the 5 most important news updates that tourists and users need to pay special attention to.
The electric motorbike charging station system (especially for VinFast models) has officially covered 15 new points in the Son Tra Peninsula area and along Vo Nguyen Giap street. This is an effort by rental agencies to resolve the concern of running out of battery during long trips. Major rental shops in Da Nang have now integrated real-time charging station maps into apps or QR codes pasted on the bikes, helping renters easily find charging points within a 2km radius anywhere in the city.
Reports from major electric vehicle rental companies indicate that a large-scale stimulus program began this morning. Specifically, when renting models like VinFast Feliz S or Evo200 for 3 days or more, tourists receive a direct 20% discount on the rental price. Average prices currently range from 120,000 VND to 180,000 VND/day depending on the model. In particular, rental combos including free charging vouchers at partner stations are becoming a 'hot' trend chosen by many young people to optimize travel costs.
To ensure absolute safety for tourists, electric motorbike rental units in Da Nang have agreed to apply mandatory civil liability insurance standards integrated into the rental price. The latest news indicates that at least 10 leading units have committed to on-site rescue services within 30 minutes if the vehicle encounters battery or technical issues anywhere in the city or at attractions like Marble Mountains and Ba Na Hills. This removes the psychological barrier regarding the durability of electric vehicles compared to traditional gasoline bikes.
In the past 24 hours, there has been an explosion in the collaboration model between 5-star resorts in Da Nang and electric motorbike brands. Tourists staying at coastal hotels can now book electric motorbikes right at the lobby with simple procedures (only ID or Passport required). The vehicles provided are mainly new models capable of traveling 150-200km per full charge, meeting the need to explore Hoi An from Da Nang without worrying about mid-trip charging.
Da Nang City Traffic Police have just issued a reminder notice on traffic law compliance for electric motorbike riders. Tourists should note: although electric motorbikes operate quietly, riders must still wear standard helmets and have appropriate licenses (for models with power greater than 4kW). Additionally, rental services are required to instruct guests not to enter roads under construction or vehicle-restricted areas in Hoi An Ancient Town (if traveling inter-province) to avoid unnecessary fines.
