Over the past 24 hours, the biggest highlight of the Hoi An tourism market has been the explosive growth of next-generation battery-swapping electric scooters. Major local EV rental agencies have partnered with smart electric motorcycle brands like Selex Motors and Dat Bike to deploy 24/7 automated battery-swapping stations. Instead of waiting 3 to 4 hours for a full charge, tourists can now swap a depleted battery for a fully charged one in less than 2 minutes at tourist hotspots such as An Bang Beach, Tra Que Vegetable Village, and the outskirts of Hoi An Ancient Town. This trend completely eliminates range anxiety for travelers.
To promote sustainable tourism this summer, Hoi An's alliance of electric scooter rental shops has announced its biggest promotion of the year. Starting today, tourists booking electric scooters via online apps or directly at physical stores will receive instant discounts of 20% to 30% on weekly and monthly rental packages. Notably, the smart electric scooter package with unlimited battery-swapping (Unlimited Swapping) service is now priced from just 120,000 VND/day, which includes comprehensive travel insurance and free 24/7 roadside assistance.
The Hoi An People's Committee has just announced the expansion of the zero-emission buffer zone restricting internal combustion engine vehicles around the Ancient Town. Under this initiative, roads adjacent to the Ancient Town will prioritize pedestrians, bicycles, and eco-friendly electric scooters. This policy has directly driven a 150% surge in electric scooter rentals in the last 24 hours alone. Rental companies reported record-breaking pre-bookings, especially from international tourists from South Korea, Europe, and Australia, who strongly prefer low-carbon transport options.
A prominent emerging trend is the partnership between high-end resorts (such as Victoria Hoi An Beach Resort & Spa, Silk Sense Hoi An River Resort) and smart electric scooter rental enterprises. Guests staying at these resorts no longer need to search for external rental services; instead, they can pick up and return electric scooters directly at the hotel lobby. The provided vehicles are premium models equipped with GPS navigation and noiseless operation, perfectly aligning with the green and luxurious vacation standards of high-end travelers.
To deliver a unique experience to travelers, several leading electric scooter rental brands in Hoi An have collaborated with tech developers to launch the "Hoi An Eco-Rider Map" digital map, integrated directly on the vehicle's phone holder. Tourists renting electric scooters will be provided with pre-designed self-guided tour routes to explore off-the-beaten-path destinations such as Cam Kim Island, Bay Mau Coconut Forest, or traditional craft villages. The system automatically displays the nearest battery-swapping stations along the route, ensuring a seamless and completely safe journey for tourists.
