Over the past 24 hours, the Da Nang tourism market has recorded strong shifts towards sustainable development. The biggest highlight is the massive surge in self-drive electric motorbike rentals for tourists. Here is a summary of the top 5 latest news and highly practical trends for travelers looking to experience this eco-friendly service.
To eliminate range anxiety for tourists, electric vehicle manufacturer Selex Motors officially launched 5 new automated Battery Swapping Stations within the past 24 hours in Son Tra, Ngu Hanh Son, and Hai Chau districts. This next-gen battery-swapping technology allows tourists to replace a flat battery with a fully charged one in under 2 minutes without waiting. Operating 24/7 and located near landmarks like Son Tra Peninsula, Marble Mountains, and Dragon Bridge, these stations ensure uninterrupted exploration.
To stimulate green tourism during peak season, Dat Bike, in collaboration with local rental partners in Da Nang, has launched a major promotional campaign named 'Green Da Nang'. Specifically, tourists renting the Dat Bike Weaver++ model for 3 days or more will receive an immediate 15% discount on their bill. The original rental rate of 150,000 VND to 180,000 VND/day is now slashed to only 127,500 VND/day. The program is effective starting today and includes free bike delivery to hotels along My Khe beach.
This morning, the Da Nang Tourism Department held a working session with local 3-to-5-star accommodation chains to implement the 'Green Hotel' model. Under this initiative, hotels are encouraged to install free electric motorbike charging stations for guests and set up affiliated rental desks in the lobby. Currently, more than 20 hotels along Vo Nguyen Giap and Truong Sa streets have signed up, providing ultimate convenience for tourists using EVs for daily transit.
According to quick reports from major rental agencies in Da Nang, such as Gia Huy and Than Thien Nhan, bookings for the VinFast Evo200 Lite surged by 40% yesterday. The biggest draw of this model is its impressive range of up to 203 km per single charge, with a safe top speed capped at 49 km/h (perfectly suited for foreign travelers and those without a local A1 motorbike license). The average rental rate is highly competitive, starting from just 120,000 VND/day.
Statistics from rental operators show that over 65% of electric motorbike renters in the last 24 hours were international tourists, particularly from South Korea, Taiwan, and Europe. Renters prefer electric motorbikes because they are quiet, smooth, and eco-friendly, making it easy to visit delicate ecological sites like the Bay Mau Coconut Forest or the peak of Hai Van Pass without causing environmental pollution. This trend is reshuffling the entire vehicle rental market in Vietnam's most liveable city.
