Over the past 24 hours, the Da Nang tourism market has recorded a dramatic surge in demand for next-generation electric motorbike rentals, especially models utilizing battery-swapping technology by Selex Motors. Instead of waiting 3 to 8 hours for a full charge like traditional models, tourists now only need less than 2 minutes to swap batteries at automated smart stations located throughout Ngu Hanh Son, Son Tra, and Hai Chau districts. This trend completely eliminates range anxiety when exploring far-off destinations such as Hai Van Pass, Bay Mau Coconut Forest, or Ban Co Peak. Major rental hubs like Gia Huy and Song Han Motor reported a 45% week-on-week increase in pre-bookings for these battery-swapping models.
Vietnamese electric motorbike brand Dat Bike has announced a large-scale partnership with rental service providers in Da Nang to introduce the Quantum model, featuring an ultra-large 41L trunk, perfect for tourists with bulky luggage. Concurrently, the next-gen Dat Charge fast-charging network has been expanded along the coastal routes of Vo Nguyen Giap and Nguyen Tat Thanh, allowing a 100km range with just a 20-minute charge. Rental prices for this premium model range from VND 200,000 to VND 250,000/day. This is an extremely attractive option for adventure travelers seeking gasoline-equivalent acceleration and performance.
The Da Nang Department of Tourism, in coordination with the Traffic Police, has issued vital new safety advisories for tourists renting electric motorbikes. For electric models with motor capacities exceeding 4kW (such as Dat Bike Weaver++ or Quantum), riders must possess a valid A1-class driving license or equivalent (or a valid International Driving Permit - IDP for foreign tourists). Notably, on routes leading up to the Son Tra Peninsula or Linh Ung Pagoda, authorities have set up strict checkpoints; low-power electric scooters (under 1.5kW) are prohibited from ascending steep hills to ensure absolute safety.
To welcome the peak tourist season, a coalition of local electric bike rental shops in Da Nang (such as EvGo and Than Thien Rental) has launched the 'Green Summer Da Nang' promotional campaign. Tourists booking online 48 hours in advance will receive an immediate 10% to 15% discount on daily rental rates (lowered to around VND 120,000 - 150,000/day for standard models). The package includes civil liability insurance, 2 standard helmets, and 24/7 roadside assistance within a 15km radius of the city center.
A new wave shaping Da Nang's sustainable tourism landscape is the partnership between eco-friendly resorts and hotels in My Khe and Non Nuoc areas and electric motorbike providers. Guests staying at these properties can rent electric motorbikes directly at the lobby at highly preferential rates, with the added benefit of free charging at the hotel's parking lot. This Eco-Stay & Ride model not only optimizes transportation costs for visitors but also contributes to the local government's goal of transforming Da Nang into a zero-carbon tourism city in the near future.
