The heritage city of Hoi An is witnessing a powerful boom in electric motorbike rental services for tourists. Here are the 5 latest and most significant updates from the market over the last 24 hours:
The transition from traditional charging to rapid battery-swapping technology is leading the Hoi An market. In the last 24 hours, a partnership between local electric vehicle rental units and smart EV brands completed the installation of 5 new-generation battery swapping stations right on the edge of the Ancient Town. Tourists renting these bikes now only need exactly 2 minutes to replace a depleted battery with a fully charged one via a mobile app, eliminating range anxiety when traveling to distant attractions like Bay Mau Coconut Forest or Cua Dai Port.
A Vietnamese tech startup has officially launched an automated electric motorbike rental application in Hoi An. Beyond just booking rides, the app integrates a multi-language Audio Guide system and eco-friendly route recommendations. Tourists only need to scan a QR code on the vehicle to unlock it, while a real-time GPS tracking system assists safe navigation through Hoi An's narrow alleys.
To stimulate green tourism for the upcoming weekend, major electric vehicle rental businesses in Hoi An have launched massive promotional packages. Tourists booking online 12 hours in advance receive an immediate 20% discount on daily rental rates (lowered to just 120,000 VND - 150,000 VND/day for premium models). Furthermore, group rentals of 3 or more bikes will receive free delivery and pickup services directly at homestays and resorts near An Bang Beach.
The Hoi An People's Committee has approved a pilot plan to set up priority and free parking spaces dedicated to green transport vehicles, particularly rental electric motorbikes. As of this morning, the first 3 parking zones near the entrances of the Ancient Town became operational. This initiative helps tourists save on parking fees and offers easier access to pedestrian streets compared to traditional gasoline motorcycles.
A quick survey of major rental agencies shows that electric motorbike rental demand from international tourists (especially Korean and European visitors) surged by 35% compared to last month. To meet these high standards, rental companies have imported over 200 high-end smart electric scooters featuring stylish designs, safe ABS disc brakes, and powerful motors capable of navigating coastal sand dunes around Hoi An. This shift toward the premium segment is redefining profit margins for the local EV rental industry.
