In the past 24 hours, Xanh SM announced plans to add 500 VinFast Feliz S and Evo200 electric motorbikes to its self-driving rental network in Da Nang. This strategic move aims to meet the surging demand from tourists this summer. These models are not only known for their modern design but also for their impressive range of up to 200km per charge, allowing tourists to comfortably explore distant routes like Hai Van Pass or Son Tra Peninsula. Currently, pick-up and drop-off stations are densely located in Ngu Hanh Son and Son Tra districts, providing maximum convenience for users.
The Da Nang Department of Tourism has recently collaborated with travel agencies to implement a sustainable tourism incentive program. As part of this, 4-5 star hotels and resorts along Vo Nguyen Giap beach have begun integrating electric motorbike booking services directly at their lobbies. The city government is also considering preferential parking fee policies for green vehicles at famous landmarks. This not only reduces emissions and noise but also builds Da Nang's image as a smart, eco-friendly tourism hub for international visitors.
Electric bike startups such as Dat Bike and several local rental agencies have rolled out a 20% discount promotion for international tourists (especially those from Korea, Europe, and the US) for weekly rentals. The program includes free travel insurance and 24/7 on-site battery swap support. The Dat Bike Weaver++ model, with its classic styling, is particularly popular among tourists who want to combine transport with scenic check-in photos. The flexibility of swapping batteries instead of waiting for a recharge is a major competitive advantage for this service.
A significant development in the last 24 hours is the completion of 10 additional fast-charging and smart battery swap stations along the Hoang Sa - Truong Sa coastal axis. This is the result of a partnership between energy corporations and electric motorbike rental companies. This infrastructure upgrade completely addresses the 'range anxiety' of tourists during long trips. The new system allows for an 80% charge in just 30 minutes or a full battery swap within 2 minutes, ensuring an uninterrupted journey for travelers.
Statistics from service providers show that the number of tourists booking self-guided tours to Son Tra Peninsula by electric motorbike has increased by 35% compared to the same period last month. Tourists, especially younger generations, tend to choose electric bikes due to their quiet motors, which allow them to enjoy the tranquil atmosphere and observe wildlife (such as the Red-shanked Douc Langur) more closely. Current rental packages often include digitized maps of charging points and local eateries with dedicated EV parking, creating a seamless and convenient tourism ecosystem.
