Electric motorbike rental services in Hoi An are undergoing a major transition toward battery-swapping technology. Rental operators have partnered with Selex Motors and Dat Bike to establish over 12 automated swapping stations across Cam Chau, Cua Dai, An Bang Beach, and Hai Ba Trung routes. Instead of waiting 4 to 6 hours for a full charge, travelers can scan a QR code and replace a depleted battery with a 100% charged pack in just 90 to 120 seconds. Delivering an average range of 80 to 110 km per swap, this infrastructure eliminates range anxiety during trips between Hoi An and Da Nang or excursions to the Bay Mau Coconut Forest.
Local green mobility providers have launched seasonal packages to drive adoption:
According to municipal transport regulations, electric two-wheelers remain restricted from entering the Ancient Town core (Zone 1) during designated pedestrian hours: 09:00 - 11:00 and 15:00 - 21:30 daily. Rental vehicles are increasingly fitted with integrated GPS and geofencing systems. Entering restricted streets such as Tran Phu, Nguyen Thai Hoc, or Bach Dang during pedestrian periods triggers audio warnings and safely reduces vehicle throttle, protecting visitors from fines ranging between 300,000 and 500,000 VND.
Riders must verify licensing compliance and hardware condition before departure:
To support travelers exploring outer suburban routes, Hoi An rental networks operate a coordinated 24/7 roadside emergency hotline. Mobile support teams guarantee on-site response within 15 to 25 minutes for tire punctures, smart key malfunctions, or depleted batteries. On-demand mobile battery replacement is provided free of charge for extended and premium rental tiers, ensuring seamless travel across the region.
