Over the past 24 hours, reports from Da Nang's tourism hotspots such as Vo Nguyen Giap Street, Son Tra Peninsula, and Marble Mountains show that the number of tourists choosing electric motorbikes as their primary mode of transportation has skyrocketed by over 150% compared to the same period last month. Tourists, especially the younger generation and international visitors from South Korea and Taiwan, are prioritizing electric motorbikes due to their smooth, emission-free operation and cost efficiency. This trend is reshaping the tourism transportation landscape in Vietnam's most livable city.
The most notable technological milestone today is that electric vehicle technology operators, led by Selex Motors, have completed the installation of 10 additional automatic smart battery swapping stations at prime locations near My Khe Beach and along the Han River. This solution completely resolves tourists' anxiety about running out of battery mid-journey. With next-generation battery swapping technology, renters only need less than 2 minutes to swap a depleted battery for a fully charged one via a mobile application, ensuring an uninterrupted journey from Da Nang to Hoi An.
To attract domestic and international tourist flows during the upcoming low season, major electric motorbike rental companies in Da Nang, such as Evigo, Dat Bike, and allied establishments, have announced highly attractive promotional packages. Specifically, these include an immediate 20% discount for customers booking online 24 hours in advance, free vehicle delivery to the airport or hotels within a 10km radius, and a complimentary travel insurance package worth 50 million VND for rentals of 3 days or more.
The trend of comprehensive digitalization is being strongly applied to electric motorbike rental services in Da Nang. In the past 24 hours, two major online booking platforms upgraded their features, allowing tourists to scan QR codes to unlock vehicles (keyless), track real-time GPS locations, and pay via multiple methods including Apple Pay, international credit cards, and e-wallets. The multi-language support system (Vietnamese, English, Korean) has also been optimized to provide maximum convenience for foreign visitors.
The final news highlights a wave of strategic partnerships between 5-star hotels and resorts along the Truong Sa - Hoang Sa coastal road and electric motorbike brands. Tourists staying at these resorts will have direct access to premium electric motorbike rental services right at the lobby at preferential rates, complete with integrated complimentary battery swap cards usable across the city's affiliated swapping station network. This is a strategic move to build a sustainable tourism ecosystem, minimizing noise and carbon emissions in luxury resort areas.
