Within the last 24 hours, the green transition in Da Nang's tourism transport recorded a major breakthrough as Selex Motors announced the expansion of 5 next-generation automatic battery swapping stations in Son Tra and Ngu Hanh Son districts. This solution completely resolves tourists' concerns regarding charging times. Instead of waiting 3-4 hours, electric motorbike rental users utilizing Selex technology now spend less than 2 minutes swapping a full battery at automated charging cabinets. This is highly regarded as a key driver for domestic and international tourists to confidently choose electric motorbikes to explore further routes such as Hai Van Pass or Son Tra Peninsula.
According to rapid reports from major motorbike rental chains in Da Nang such as Than Thien Nhan and Gia Huy, the VinFast Evo200 electric scooter has recorded a 45% surge in rental demand compared to the same period last month. With a real-world travel range of up to 200km per full charge, the Evo200 has become the top priority for tourists traveling the Da Nang - Hoi An interprovincial route. Rental agencies are also shifting their fleet structures, gradually phasing out traditional gasoline motorbikes and replacing them with smart electric models to catch up with the sustainable consumption trend of next-gen tourists.
In response to Da Nang's environmental protection tourism week, an alliance of electric motorbike rental providers has launched a massive promotional campaign titled "Vibrant Green Summer". Specifically, tourists booking electric motorbikes via online platforms for 3 days or more will receive a direct discount of 15% to 20% on their total bill. Additionally, renters are gifted a digital map pre-integrated with public charging points and free smart battery swapping stations around the city center and My Khe beach area.
For the adventure tourism segment, Dat Bike has officially partnered with several 5-star resorts and hotels in Da Nang to offer rentals of their high-performance Weaver++ and Quantum electric bikes. Boasting powerful engines, outstanding hill-climbing capabilities, and ultra-fast charging (only 1 hour for the first 100km), this fleet is attracting a large number of young travelers, particularly foreigners, who want to conquer the hilly terrains of Central Vietnam smoothly, without emissions, and free of engine noise.
A new tech trend reshaping Da Nang's tourism service market in the past 24 hours is the emergence of automated electric motorbike rental startups operating entirely through mobile applications (Apps). Travelers only need to download the app, scan the QR code on the vehicle to unlock, pay digitally, and start riding instantly without tedious paperwork or meeting the rental host in person. The integrated IoT smart lock system provides precise GPS tracking, assisting tourists in locating parked vehicles and monitoring real-time remaining battery capacity.
