In the past 24 hours, the electric motorbike market in Da Nang has seen a significant breakthrough from Selex Motors. The company has officially upgraded its network of battery swapping stations at strategic locations such as Ngu Hanh Son, Son Tra, and the city center. This marks a major turning point for self-drive electric motorbike rental services, helping tourists eliminate range anxiety. The technology, which allows for a battery swap in just 2 minutes instead of hours of charging, has provided an absolute competitive edge for rental partners using the Selex Camel line. Rental agencies are currently reporting a 95% occupancy rate due to the convenience of this infrastructure.
The heavy presence of VinFast Evo200 and Feliz S models at tourist rental spots signals a city-wide transformation. Over the last 24 hours, VinFast's network of partners announced a promotion offering an immediate 20% discount for tourists renting electric motorbikes by the week. Notably, the service package includes 24/7 roadside assistance and free battery swaps at VinFast charging stations across the city. There is a record-high trend among South Korean and Western tourists choosing electric bikes over gasoline ones for environmental protection and a smooth experience along coastal routes like Vo Nguyen Giap and Truong Sa.
Latest reports from premium electric vehicle and big bike rental shops in Da Nang show that the Dat Bike Weaver++ has become a 'phenomenon.' With its powerful hill-climbing ability and a top speed of 90km/h, this model is being integrated by travel companies into self-guided tours over the Hai Van Pass. Today, Da Nang electric bike rental units confirmed the addition of over 50 Weaver++ units to meet international demand. A key highlight is the ultra-fast charging capability: just 20 minutes for 100km of travel, perfectly fitting the dense sightseeing schedules of tourists.
A snap report from the Da Nang tourism sector shows that the 'Battery Swapping' trend is a game-changer. Instead of ownership, electric motorbike rental companies are shifting to battery leasing and shared swapping station models. This not only reduces rental costs to between 120,000 VND and 150,000 VND per day (equivalent to gasoline bikes) but also ensures absolute fire safety. Startups in Da Nang are pioneering the integration of mobile apps that allow tourists to find the nearest swapping station with a single tap, creating a smart and sustainable travel journey.
Within the last 24 hours, two new green mobility startups officially launched in Da Nang, focusing 100% on electric fleets. These units provide not just vehicles but also 'Zero-emission' travel itineraries. Customers are provided with digital maps of cafes and restaurants that support charging stations or battery swapping hubs. The combination of IoT technology on electric motorbikes for route tracking and reward point programs for using EVs is attracting significant interest from Gen Z and eco-conscious travelers. Real-world data indicates that carbon emissions from tourist transport in coastal areas have significantly decreased during the recent short holiday thanks to the spread of these services.
