The tourist city of Da Nang is witnessing a powerful green transition with the boom of electric motorbike rental services. To ensure your journey to explore this livable city is smooth, safe, and cost-effective, here is a synthesis of the 5 most updated news and essential tips in the past 24 hours from major operators in the industry.
The most prominent news in the past 24 hours is the rapid expansion of next-generation battery-swapping station networks in Da Nang by major brands such as Selex Motors and Dat Bike. Instead of waiting 3 to 4 hours for a charge at the hotel, tourists renting modern electric motorbikes now take less than 2 minutes to swap a depleted battery for a fully charged one at automatic swapping stations. These stations are conveniently located along major routes like Vo Nguyen Giap, Nguyen Van Linh, and near the Marble Mountains (Ngu Hanh Son), ensuring that long-distance trips to Hoi An or Hai Van Pass are no longer interrupted.
To stimulate green tourism, major electric motorbike rental systems in Da Nang have simultaneously launched a promotion offering 15% to 20% discounts for customers renting for 2 days or more this week. Specifically, several operators collaborating with resorts and homestays in Son Tra District are offering combo packages renting VinFast Evo200 or Dat Bike Weaver models from only 120,000 VND to 150,000 VND/day, which includes travel insurance and free battery rescue services.
During the summer tourism safety campaign, the Da Nang Police Department issued strict recommendations for tourists renting electric motorbikes. For electric motorbikes with an engine capacity below 4kW (such as VinFast Ludo, Tempest) or a maximum speed not exceeding 50km/h, riders are not required to have a driver's license but must strictly comply with traffic laws, especially wearing standard helmets. However, for higher-capacity models like VinFast Feliz or Dat Bike, riders must possess an A1-class driver's license (or an equivalent International Driving Permit for foreign tourists).
Technical experts advise tourists to proactively request rental staff to show the actual battery capacity displayed on the dashboard before signing the receipt. Although models like the VinFast Evo200 are advertised to travel up to 203km per charge under standard conditions, in real-world Da Nang driving conditions (climbing Son Tra hills, carrying two people, turning on headlights), the actual range usually fluctuates between 100km and 120km. Understanding this figure helps you plan an appropriate itinerary and avoid running out of power mid-journey.
Great news for travelers: most reputable electric motorbike rental companies in Da Nang have integrated smart GPS tracking systems into each vehicle. This system not only prevents theft but also connects directly to the operator's 24/7 emergency rescue center. If a technical issue occurs or the battery runs out in remote areas like the Son Tra Peninsula or along the city's outskirts, tourists only need to request assistance via the app or call the hotline, and a technical team will arrive within 15-30 minutes to swap the battery or provide a replacement vehicle.
