Over the past 24 hours, the electric motorcycle market in Hoi An has recorded strong shifts, confirming its position as a pioneer in green transportation in Vietnam. Here are the 5 most important highlights regarding electric motorcycle rental services for tourists.
The most prominent news today is that Selex Motors—Vietnam's leading electric motorcycle startup—has officially signed a partnership with 3 major accommodation spots near the ancient town area to install automatic battery swapping stations. This solution thoroughly solves the worry of running out of power mid-journey. Instead of taking 3-4 hours to charge, renters take less than 2 minutes to swap for a full battery at the stations. This service is currently applied to the Selex Camel model with rental prices ranging from 200,000 VND to 250,000 VND/day, including unlimited battery swaps within the Hoi An inner city area.
Major electric motorcycle rental agencies in Hoi An have just announced the addition of the Dat Bike Quantum to their service catalogs. This move aims to meet the needs of tourists who want to experience speed and long-distance travel (up to 270km/charge). Quantum rental packages are being introduced at experience prices from 300,000 VND/day. Notably, the 'Experience EVs, get an Ancient Town coffee voucher' promotion is being implemented simultaneously at linked rental points, attracting a large number of young tourists and foreigners interested in exploring suburban areas like the Bay Mau coconut forest or Thanh Ha pottery village.
A new mobile application dedicated to electric motorcycle renters in Hoi An updated its charging station map and green tourism route features this morning. Rental providers now do not just deliver the vehicle; they provide an app account with built-in GPS and multi-language automated narration. This trend helps tourists confidently travel by EV without fear of getting lost or worrying about finding energy points. The smart management system also allows companies to monitor real-time battery status to support customers immediately when needed.
Recognizing that Korean tourists account for a large proportion of visitors to Hoi An, rental chains such as Hoi An Electric Bike and EvGo have launched a 20% discount for customers booking via apps like Klook or Traveloka within the past 24 hours. This program focuses on fashionable Vespa-style electric models, matching the 'check-in' photography preferences of tourists. Specifically, the service includes travel insurance within the rental price, a breakthrough move to increase competitiveness against traditional gasoline motorcycle services.
In the latest meetings between the city government and tourism businesses, Hoi An is promoting a roadmap to completely replace gasoline motorcycles with electric motorcycles in the central area by 2025. Responding to this, rental companies have committed to phasing out old models and replacing them with 100% smart electric bikes. Free charging stations are being pilot-installed at public parking lots around the ancient town, such as Phan Chau Trinh and Hoang Dieu streets. This is an extremely positive signal for investors and EV rental operators, creating a sustainable ecosystem for the local tourism industry.
