In the past 24 hours, Da Nang's tourism market has recorded a strong shift towards the 'Green Tourism' trend with the explosion of electric motorcycle rental services. Here is a summary of the 5 most important news items and tips for tourists when experiencing this service.
Major rental companies in Da Nang, such as Xanh SM and local partners, have just announced the addition of more than 500 VinFast Evo200 and Feliz S bikes to their rental fleets. The latest update is the complete integration of the rental process via mobile apps. Tourists no longer need to deal with cumbersome paperwork; just upload your ID and driver's license to the system, and the bike will be delivered to the airport or hotel within 15 minutes. This trend helps optimize time for travelers, especially tech-savvy young groups.
One of the newest breakthroughs in the last 24 hours is the expansion of Selex Motors' battery swapping station network on main roads like Vo Nguyen Giap and Bach Dang. Instead of waiting 3-4 hours for a full charge, Selex electric bike renters can now swap for a new battery in just 2 minutes at automatic swap cabinets. This is extremely useful for long routes like Son Tra Peninsula or Hai Van Pass. Rental units are implementing 'Unlimited Battery' packages starting from only 50,000 VND/day, allowing tourists to swap batteries for free at any station in the city.
Reports from major electric bike rental agencies show that a large-scale promotion program has been activated. Specifically, customers renting for 3 days or more will receive a 20% discount on the total bill or a free voucher for milk tea/coffee at famous shops along My Khe beach. For international tourists, especially from Korea and Taiwan, providers like Da Nang Bike Rental are offering 24/7 language support and free loans of international standard helmets and raincoats. This is an effort to stimulate sustainable tourism demand during the upcoming peak season.
A crucial warning issued in the past 24 hours is the tightening of license checks for electric motorcycles with a capacity over 4kW. International tourists must ensure they possess a valid International Driving Permit (IDP). For models under 50cc or low-power electric bikes like the VinFast Evo200 Lite, no license is required, but tourists must participate in a short safety briefing (about 5-10 minutes) organized by the rental agency. This aims to minimize traffic accident risks at complex intersections in Da Nang, such as the Dragon Bridge or the roundabout west of Tran Thi Ly Bridge.
The latest trend is the collaboration between electric bike rental companies and 3-5 star hotels in Da Nang. Currently, over 60% of hotels in the coastal area have installed free charging points for guests using rented electric motorcycles. This creates a closed ecosystem, allowing tourists to safely charge their bikes overnight at their accommodation without worrying about extra costs or searching for public charging stations. This convenience is making electric motorcycles the top priority choice over traditional gasoline bikes for tourists visiting Vietnam's most livable city.
