Green Culinary Journey: Surge in Electric Scooter Rental Services in Da Nang Over the Last 24 Hours

1. Selex Motors Expands Battery Swapping Stations Near Key Food Hubs

In the last 24 hours, Selex Motors announced the installation of 5 additional smart battery swapping stations in Hai Chau and Ngu Hanh Son districts, adjacent to busy food streets like Huynh Thuc Khang and Phan Chu Trinh. This allows tourists renting Selex Camel electric scooters to travel continuously without worrying about charging while enjoying local specialties. The battery swap takes only 2 minutes, optimizing the experience time for visitors.

2. Dat Bike Launches 'Foodie Green' Tour with Weaver++ Series

Electric bike brand Dat Bike has partnered with 10 vegan restaurants and local eateries in Da Nang to launch the 'Foodie Green' rental package. Tourists renting the 7000W Weaver++ model will receive a digital map of sustainable dining locations. The bike's excellent hill-climbing ability makes it easy to access eateries in the Son Tra Peninsula. Currently, the package offers a 15% discount for groups of 3 or more.

3. VinFast (GSM) Increases Evo200 Fleet at Night Food Check-in Points

Meeting high demand at Son Tra Night Market and Helio Night Market, VinFast electric scooter rental services (via GSM partners) have added 200 Evo200 units to their short-term rental fleet. With a range of up to 203km per charge, this model is perfect for multi-day 'food tours'. Mobile support booths have been set up to guide tourists in quickly installing the rental app via QR codes at food court entrances.

4. Trend: Renting Electric Bikes to 'Hunt' for Alleyway Specialties

Da Nang-based EV rental startups like EvGo and MBI have noted a major shift in tourist behavior. Instead of noisy gasoline bikes, 70% of tourists choose electric scooters to navigate narrow alleys in Thanh Khe district for local delicacies. The silent, emission-free nature of EVs is considered 'civilized' and suitable for Da Nang's street food atmosphere. Hourly rental packages (starting from 30,000 VND/hour) are becoming a top choice for students and backpackers.

5. 'Rent Green - Eat Well' Promotion Program

Starting today, major electric bike rental agencies are simultaneously launching a linked program: By presenting an EV rental contract at seafood restaurants along Vo Nguyen Giap Street, customers receive a 5-10% discount or a free appetizer. This campaign aims to stimulate sustainable tourism, combining smart transportation with Central Vietnamese culinary excellence. Preliminary statistics show that EV rentals have increased by 40% compared to the same period last week due to these activities.
