In the past 24 hours, the Da Nang tourism market has recorded a sharp increase in demand for electric motorcycles. GSM (Xanh SM) officially announced the addition of 500 VinFast Feliz S electric bikes for short-term and long-term rental services in Ngu Hanh Son and Son Tra districts. This move aims to meet the influx of domestic and international tourists flocking to Da Nang during the peak season. These models are favored for their smooth operation and a travel range of up to 198km per full charge, making it easy for tourists to explore far-off spots like Hai Van Pass or Hoi An without worrying about energy issues.
A significant turning point was recorded when the Da Nang Tourism Association signed a cooperation agreement with green energy solution providers. As of this morning, more than 50 fast-charging stations for electric motorcycles have been completely installed in the parking lots of 3 to 5-star hotels along Vo Nguyen Giap and Truong Sa streets. This completely resolves the 'running out of battery' anxiety for tourists renting electric bikes. Rental agencies now not only provide vehicles but also integrate real-time charging station map applications, helping users locate the nearest charging point within a 2-minute ride.
Electric motorcycle rental startups in Da Nang like EVGo and Dat Bike have launched highly attractive combo packages. Specifically, the 'Green Tour 24h' package for only 150,000 VND includes: 1 latest model electric bike, voluntary travel insurance, and free battery charging at affiliated points. Additionally, tourists renting electric bikes will receive a 10% discount on entrance tickets at several major attractions. This trend not only stimulates tourism demand but also reshapes the travel habits of tourists towards a more sustainable direction, reducing emissions and noise for the liveable city.
Data from tourist information offices shows a clear shift in the preferences of international guests, especially Korean tourists. In the last 24 hours, the rate of electric motorcycle pre-booking requests from Korean tourists increased by 45% compared to last week. The main reasons are the similarity in electric vehicle usage habits back home and the convenience of booking through multi-language apps. Electric bike rental units in Da Nang have quickly updated Korean interfaces and 24/7 online support teams to serve this potential market.
The Da Nang city government has just had its latest discussions on prioritizing electric transportation in key tourist areas. It is expected that areas around the Dragon Bridge and Bach Dang pedestrian street will have priority lanes or dedicated free parking areas for electric motorcycles. This information immediately created a new wave of investment in the bike rental sector. Companies are aggressively importing electric bike models with stylish designs suitable for the 'check-in' needs of young people, turning the electric vehicle into not just a means of transport but also a stylish travel accessory.
