In the past 24 hours, the electric motorcycle infrastructure in Da Nang has seen a major leap forward with Selex Motors expanding its fast Battery Swapping stations. Instead of waiting 3-4 hours to charge, tourists renting Selex Camel bikes can now swap batteries in less than 2 minutes at convenience stores along Vo Nguyen Giap street and the Ngu Hanh Son area. This service completely eliminates range anxiety when traveling to Son Tra Peninsula or Hoi An. Rental agencies are currently applying rental packages that include unlimited battery swap fees.
The trend of renting high-performance electric motorcycles is on the rise. The Dat Bike Quantum, with a range of up to 270km per full charge, has officially become a top choice at major rental shops in central Da Nang. With a super-large 41L trunk, tourists can easily store personal belongings, helmets, and bags when visiting distant tourist spots like Ba Na Hills without worrying about mid-trip charging. Rental prices range from 150,000 VND to 200,000 VND per day, highly competitive compared to traditional scooters.
VinFast dealers and electric bike rental partners in Da Nang have just announced a 20% discount for customers booking via mobile apps or OTA platforms like Klook and Traveloka. Models such as Feliz S and Evo 200 are favored for their stylish designs, perfect for checking in at famous spots like the Dragon Bridge or Love Bridge. The integration of charging systems in public parking lots and beachfront hotels is being accelerated, making it easy for tourists to find charging points while resting.
A notable new trend in the last 24 hours is the increase in rental units using Smart-lock technology. Tourists simply scan a QR code to pick up and return bikes at designated stations without meeting staff in person. This is extremely convenient for international visitors, especially Korean and Western tourists. Flexible payment methods via e-wallets, Apple Pay, and international credit cards are becoming the new standard for rental services in this coastal city.
Based on feedback from the travel community, experts advise tourists to use the appropriate driving mode (usually Sport mode) when climbing slopes in Son Tra to ensure power. Rental agencies have also begun providing 24/7 rescue services and included insurance, giving customers peace of mind against unexpected situations. Shifting from gasoline to electric bikes not only protects Da Nang's marine environment but also helps tourists save up to 50% on fuel costs throughout their journey.
