In the past 24 hours, data from accommodation providers and rental agencies in Hoi An revealed a 35% increase in international tourists (notably Korean and European visitors) searching for and renting electric motorbikes compared to last month. The shift toward quiet, zero-emission vehicles for exploring the Ancient Town and nearby beaches like Cua Dai and An Bang has become a top preference for eco-conscious travelers.
Leading electric motorbike rental companies in Hoi An officially launched 10 additional 24/7 smart battery-swapping stations along key arteries including Tran Hung Dao, Ly Thuong Kiet, and Hai Ba Trung streets. This ultra-fast swapping technology, taking under 2 minutes, completely eliminates range anxiety and traditional charging downtime for tourists during their rides.
To stimulate summer tourism, local rental providers have rolled out aggressive discount schemes: 20% to 30% off daily rental rates (starting as low as 100,000 VND/day), alongside free hotel delivery within a 7km radius. Renters also receive complimentary trip insurance, certified safety helmets, and specialized Hoi An eco-tour maps.
For the first time in Hoi An, rental fleets are integrated with IoT technology, allowing users to reserve, unlock vehicles keylessly, and track real-time battery status directly via mobile apps. This streamlined process enables foreign tourists to complete rentals within 3 minutes without requiring cash deposits when staying at partner hotels.
Local authorities in collaboration with tourism associations continue to advance sustainable mobility policies. Electric motorbikes now enjoy priority access to buffer zones around the Ancient Town and pathways leading to Tra Que Vegetable Village. This initiative enhances the eco-tourism experience while driving record revenue growth for EV rental businesses over the last 24 hours.
