This is a strategic move to provide maximum support for tourists renting electric motorcycles.

The system is fully compatible with next-generation electric scooters, completely eliminating range anxiety when traveling to distant spots like Son Tra Peninsula or Ban Co Peak.

The vehicles provided are premium models with stylish designs, integrated GPS, and are maintained 24/7 by a local technical team.

Alongside private battery swapping stations, the city government and technology partners have completed upgrading charging points at the Marble Mountains (Ngu Hanh Son) and the entrance to Ba Na Hills.

Experts predict that in the next 6 months, electric motorcycles will account for approximately 40% of the rental market share in this central tourism hub.
