Over the past 24 hours, Hoi An has witnessed a significant surge in electric motorbikes utilizing rapid battery-swapping technology. Instead of waiting 3 to 8 hours for a full charge, rental providers have partnered with manufacturers like Selex Motors, Dat Bike, and VinFast to deploy automated swap stations within a 2 km radius of the Ancient Town. Travelers can exchange a depleted battery for a fully charged one in under 2 minutes, completely eliminating range anxiety when riding to further spots like An Bang Beach or Tra Que Vegetable Village.
To promote zero-emission travel, major electric scooter rental companies in Hoi An have launched attractive discount offers. Daily rental rates currently range between 120,000 VND and 180,000 VND per day depending on the model. Notably, tourists receive a 15% discount when booking online 24 hours in advance, free delivery to hotels within 5 km, standard safety helmets, and travel kits.
Latest statistics from local rental hubs indicate a 35% increase in electric motorbike rentals among Korean and Western tourists compared to last month. E-scooters are highly preferred for their smooth, silent operation, zero exhaust fumes, and ease of handling. Korean travelers have shared overwhelmingly positive feedback about riding quietly through peaceful alleys, preserving the serene atmosphere of the heritage site while enjoying eco-tourism.
Local authorities in collaboration with tourism businesses have completed 8 additional priority parking locations equipped with free charging ports specifically for electric motorbikes around the Ancient Town perimeter (such as Ly Thuong Kiet and Tran Hung Dao streets) and the Cam Thanh area. This ensures hassle-free and secure parking for visitors during peak evening hours when the lantern street lights up.
Travel experts recommend an ideal one-day eco-itinerary: Start morning from the Ancient Town to Tra Que Vegetable Village (3 km), ride ahead to An Bang Beach (2 km) for lunch. Afternoon trip to Cam Thanh Coconut Village (7 km) for the basket boat experience. Covering a round-trip distance of around 25-30 km, a fully charged electric scooter effortlessly completes the journey without extra charging. Riders should check the battery level on the dashboard before setting off and keep the rental company's 24/7 roadside assistance hotline handy.
