Da Nang Green Tourism Update: Electric Motorcycle Rental Trends and Breakthrough Battery Swapping Ecosystem

1. Selex Motors Expands Automated Battery Swapping Network at Key Tourist Spots

In the past 24 hours, Selex Motors officially announced the completion of 10 additional automated battery swapping stations in strategic areas such as the Son Tra Peninsula, Marble Mountains, and along My Khe Beach. This is a breakthrough move aimed at completely eliminating 'range anxiety' for tourists using electric motorcycles. The technology, which allows for a battery swap in just 2 minutes instead of waiting hours for a charge, is becoming a magnet for tourists. Selex's rental partners in Da Nang reported a 40% increase in bookings immediately after the network expansion, particularly for the Selex Camel model, known for its load capacity and durability on hilly terrains.

2. Xanh SM Deploys Self-Service E-Bike Rental Kiosks at 5-Star Hotels

Xanh SM (GSM) has just launched an 'Electronic Kiosk' model for renting VinFast Evo 200 and Feliz S electric motorcycles right in the lobbies of luxury resorts and hotels in Da Nang. The highlight of this service is a completely automated rental process via an app, with promotional prices starting from only 199,000 VND/day. With stylish designs and a travel range of up to 200km per charge, VinFast models are leading the premium rental segment for domestic and international tourists. Today, the 'Green Summer Da Nang' program was also activated, offering a 15% discount for customers booking via the app during golden hours.

3. High-Performance Dat Bike Rentals for Hai Van Pass Adventurers

A community of electric motorcycle rental shops in Ngu Hanh Son district recently released a report on a new trend: South Korean and Western tourists are switching to renting Dat Bike Weaver++ models to conquer the Hai Van Pass. With powerful engine performance equivalent to 125cc-150cc gasoline bikes and fast charging capabilities (1 hour for 100km), Dat Bike is changing the perception that electric vehicles cannot climb slopes. Rental facilities like 'Danang E-Ride' have upgraded their fleet to 50 Dat Bikes to meet the sudden surge in demand this summer. Included services feature 24/7 rescue support and a map of fast-charging stations along the Da Nang - Hue route.

4. 'Zero-Emission Tourism' Campaign with 30% Discount Incentives

The Da Nang Department of Tourism, in coordination with electric motorcycle enterprises, has launched the 'Green Holiday' campaign. Specifically, tourists using accommodation services at affiliated partners will receive a 30% discount voucher for electric motorcycle rentals. This is an effort to minimize emissions and noise in central areas. Large rental companies like EvGo and MBI are also responding by offering free voluntary travel insurance packages for weekly rentals. Quick statistics from rental points show that more than 60% of young customers (Gen Z) prioritize choosing electric motorcycles over traditional ones due to their smart features and environmental friendliness.

5. Da Nang Completes Multi-Functional Public Charging Infrastructure

The most important news in Da Nang's electrified transport infrastructure today is the successful integration of 50 multi-functional charging points at public parking lots and major supermarkets. These charging points support common charging standards for various models, from domestic to imported bikes. This not only supports local residents but also creates optimal conditions for electric motorcycle rental units to expand their service range. Experts believe that with the increasingly complete infrastructure of charging and battery swapping stations, Da Nang is heading towards becoming the pioneer city in Vietnam for the 'Smart Mobility' model in the tourism sector.
