In the past 24 hours, the Da Nang tourism market has recorded a strong explosion in the electric vehicle (EV) motorcycle rental segment. More than just a means of transport, electric motorcycles are becoming a symbol of a sustainable lifestyle in Vietnam's most livable city.
The most prominent news is that Xanh SM (VinFast) has updated a feature allowing tourists to book self-drive electric motorcycle rentals directly on the app in the Da Nang area. Instead of going to a dealer, visitors only need to verify their ID/Passport and driver's license right on the app. Models like VinFast Feliz S and Evo200 are prioritized thanks to a travel distance of up to 200km per charge, completely solving the fear of running out of power when conquering Hai Van Pass or Son Tra Peninsula. Rental prices range from 150,000 VND to 250,000 VND/day depending on the model, competing directly with traditional gasoline bikes.
Startup Selex Motors has announced the addition of 5 smart battery swapping stations in key areas such as Ngu Hanh Son district and near Da Nang airport. This is a major turning point for tourists renting Selex Camel electric bikes. Instead of waiting 3-4 hours for charging, users only take 2 minutes to exchange for a full battery at the station. This service is currently attracting a large number of long-term tourists thanks to the 'Eco-Travel' incentive package, which offers a 15% discount for groups of 5 or more, targeting group travelers.
The Dat Bike Quantum line is creating a fever at premium electric motorcycle rental shops in Da Nang. With a super-wide 41-liter trunk (the largest in the market), Quantum allows tourists to store 2 helmets and many personal items when going to My Khe beach. In the past 24 hours, rental units recorded a 95% occupancy rate for Quantum bikes. In particular, the super-fast charging feature (100km in just 1 hour of charging) is a big plus for the busy schedules of international tourists.
A new trend emerging in the past day is the link between 4-5 star hotels along Vo Nguyen Giap street and electric bike rental companies. Guests staying at these partners will receive a free 2-hour electric bike experience or a 30% discount voucher for daily rentals. This is part of the 'Da Nang - Green Destination' campaign to minimize noise and emissions in coastal areas.
To anticipate the wave of returning Korean tourists, many electric bike rental units in Da Nang have integrated payment via international e-wallets and supported multi-language instructions on the vehicle. Recorded in the past 24 hours, 'K-Travel Special' promotions that support travel insurance along with rental packages are receiving great attention. Tourists only need to leave their passports and can receive the bike at hotels in the city center or coastal areas with simplified procedures.
