Over the past 24 hours, the Da Nang tourism market has recorded outstanding growth in high-tech electric motorbike rental services. Major rental agencies such as Gia Huy (located at 126 Nguyen Chi Thanh) and Than Thien Nhan have simultaneously upgraded their fleets with new-generation models like VinFast Evo200 (range of up to 203km per charge), Feliz S, and Selex Camel. These models feature modern designs and powerful motors suitable for diverse terrains, from the flat coastal roads of My Khe to the gentle slopes heading up the Son Tra Peninsula. The rental process is simple; tourists only need to present an ID or passport to pick up a bike within 5 minutes.
A major breakthrough attracting tourists' attention is the widespread coverage of the next-generation rapid battery swapping system. Instead of waiting 3 to 4 hours for a full charge at traditional stations, tourists renting Selex Motors electric motorbikes can now experience under-2-minute battery swapping technology at over 15 automated swap stations across Hai Chau, Son Tra, and Ngu Hanh Son districts. The swap station location map is integrated directly into the smart mobile app, helping tourists easily manage their itinerary without worrying about running out of power.
To welcome the summer tourism wave and encourage green transformation, electric motorbike rental companies in Da Nang are launching extremely attractive promotional programs. Tourists renting vehicles for 3 days or more will receive a direct discount of 15% - 20% on the total bill. Notably, some all-inclusive rental packages include unlimited battery swapping at partner stations, optimizing travel costs to only about 80,000 VND - 120,000 VND/day, which is significantly cheaper than renting traditional petrol bikes plus fluctuating fuel costs.
The Management Board of Son Tra Peninsula and Da Nang Tourism Beaches has just issued recommendations prioritizing green transport. Noise and emissions from traditional petrol motorbikes are negatively affecting the ecosystem, especially the rare red-shanked douc langur. Using quiet, emission-free electric motorbikes not only helps preserve the wildlife of Son Tra but also brings the most peaceful and relaxing sightseeing experience for tourists traveling along picturesque coastal mountain roads.
A quick survey of the backpacking community over the past day shows that using electric motorbikes helps save up to 40% of operating costs compared to traditional petrol bikes. Equipped with safe disc brakes and IP67 waterproof standards (perfect for sudden Central Vietnam thunderstorms), electric motorbikes offer absolute peace of mind. Experienced riders advise tourists to check the battery capacity on the dashboard before heading to high points like Linh Ung Pagoda or Ban Co Peak, and utilize the free charging/swapping station map app provided by rental agencies to optimize their journey.
