In the past 24 hours, eco-tourism mobility in Hoi An achieved a major milestone as pioneering firms like Selex Motors, in partnership with local eco-resorts and homestays, launched 4 automated Battery Swapping Stations (BSS) across Cam Chau Ward and the An Bang Beach area. This infrastructure allows riders to exchange depleted batteries for fully charged packs in under 90 seconds, eliminating typical 4-6 hour charging waits. With a range of 100km-150km per full swap, tourists can effortlessly complete itineraries linking the Ancient Town, Bay Mau Coconut Forest, and Thanh Ha Pottery Village without range anxiety.
Smart digital rental services are rapidly replacing conventional paper-contract bike rentals. Prominent operators in Hoi An have modernized their fleets with VinFast Feliz S, Dat Bike Quantum, and Selex Camel models equipped with NFC keyless unlock, anti-theft GPS, and real-time battery analytics. Travelers can simply scan a QR code at their hotel front desk to verify and unlock vehicles within 5 minutes, eliminating the need to leave original physical passports as collateral.
Rental companies have rolled out aggressive incentive programs to encourage sustainable transport:
The Hoi An Cultural Heritage Management Authority has intensified emissions and noise controls around the Ancient Town perimeter. Traditional combustion-engine motorbikes face restricted access and tighter parking limits along the Tran Hung Dao and Ly Thuong Kiet axes. In contrast, electric two-wheelers are granted priority access to inner transit hubs such as Kazik Park and Song Hoai Square parking facilities, accompanied by a 50% parking fee reduction.
Operating an electric scooter in Hoi An cuts transportation expenses by 60% to 70% compared to gasoline models. Traveling 100km on electric power or via battery swaps costs merely 15,000 – 25,000 VND, compared to 50,000 – 70,000 VND for petrol. Prior to departing, renters should inspect tire condition, confirm the smooth function of regenerative braking, and save the 24/7 roadside emergency hotline printed directly on the vehicle frame.
