According to data from major travel booking platforms in Da Nang, searches and bookings for electric motorbike rentals have plummeted by 35% within the last 24 hours. The sustainable and eco-friendly travel trend is driving tourists, especially young travelers and international visitors from South Korea and Taiwan, to choose electric motorbikes as their primary mode of transportation. Popular models such as VinFast Evo200, Dat Bike Weaver, and Selex Camel are the most sought-after names at rental shops along My Khe beach and the city center.
A major milestone for Da Nang's green transport infrastructure has been achieved as electric motorbike operators completed the installation of 15 additional next-generation smart battery-swapping stations along key tourist routes including Vo Nguyen Giap, Hoang Sa, and Truong Sa. The rapid battery-swapping technology allows tourists to exchange a depleted battery for a fully charged one at automated cabinets in less than 2 minutes. This solution completely eliminates range anxiety and charging wait times, enabling seamless exploration of the Son Tra Peninsula or Hai Van Pass.
To stimulate summer tourism, leading electric motorbike rental companies in Da Nang, such as EV Rental Da Nang and GreenGo, have jointly launched a super-promotion campaign named 'Green Journey'. Tourists booking via apps or websites will receive an immediate 20% discount on daily rental rates, bringing the price down to an attractive range of only 120,000 VND to 180,000 VND/vehicle/day. Additionally, the program offers a complimentary voucher for the first 02 battery swaps at any affiliated station in the city.
To optimize the experience of foreign visitors, a travel-tech startup, in collaboration with the Da Nang Department of Tourism, has piloted a multi-language mobile application (Vietnamese - English - Korean). The app allows tourists to scan QR codes to instantly rent electric motorbikes at tourism hotspots without complex paperwork. The integrated GPS system automatically navigates users to the nearest battery-swapping stations and suggests optimal emission-free travel routes.
The final highlight over the past 24 hours is the strategic partnership signing between the Da Nang Hotel Association and smart electric motorbike manufacturers. Accordingly, more than 20 high-end 4-5 star resorts and hotels in Da Nang will integrate electric motorbike rentals and on-site battery-swapping services directly at their lobbies. Guests booking accommodation will receive an all-inclusive combo that includes lodging and free use of an electric motorbike throughout their stay, setting a new benchmark for eco-friendly resort models in Vietnam's most livable city.
