In the latest urban transport planning meeting, the Hoi An People's Committee discussed prioritizing the development of rental electric motorbikes. The city is considering piloting free designated parking zones for electric motorbikes at key tourist spots while gradually restricting petrol vehicles from entering the heritage buffer zones during peak hours. This movement has urged local traditional bike rental businesses to swiftly convert their fleets to electric models to align with the new policy.
Data from tourist transport providers shows a 35% increase in electric motorbike rentals for the intercity route from Da Nang to Hoi An compared to last week.

The smooth, emission-free ride and maximum fuel savings make electric motorbikes the top choice for the scenic coastal road connecting these two famous Central Vietnam tourist hubs.
