Over the past 24 hours, the tourism landscape of Da Nang has taken giant leaps towards its Net-Zero carbon goals, driven by major upgrades in electric motorcycle (EV) rental services. From an expert perspective, the synergy between smart infrastructure and green mobility is reshaping the travel experience in Vietnam's most livable city.
The biggest news for eco-travelers is the rapid expansion of smart battery-swapping networks over the past 24 hours. Pioneers like Selex Motors and Dat Bike completed the installation of 15 new stations, bringing the city's total to over 50. Strategically located along coastal tourist routes like Vo Nguyen Giap and Truong Sa, and near Son Tra Peninsula, these stations allow travelers to swap flat batteries for fully charged ones in under 2 minutes at partner convenience stores (GS25, Circle K) and local cafes, totally eliminating range anxiety.
To stimulate sustainable tourism, a coalition of top EV rental agencies in Da Nang launched the 'Eco-Rider Da Nang' promotional campaign. Starting today, tourists booking premium electric scooters like the VinFast Evo200 Lite or Dat Bike Weaver++ via mobile apps or QR codes at Da Nang International Airport will enjoy a 15% to 20% discount. Rental rates now range from only 120,000 VND to 180,000 VND per day, including travel insurance and 24/7 roadside assistance.
The Da Nang Department of Tourism, in cooperation with green transport companies, has initiated a pilot 'Zero-Emission Zone' on scenic coastal routes around Son Tra Peninsula. The initiative encourages tourists to rent electric scooters instead of combustion-engine bikes to protect the local ecosystem and the endangered Red-shanked Douc Langur. EV rental services have quickly integrated smart digital maps indicating eco-friendly stops and safety alerts on the vehicles' screens for an optimal travel experience.
According to online rental platform data compiled over the past 24 hours, foreign tourists renting electric motorbikes in Da Nang surged by 40% compared to last month. Notably, Korean tourists accounted for 60% of these rentals. This boom is fueled by local rental agencies offering multilingual apps (English, Korean, Chinese), seamless international payment integrations, and keyless smart-lock technology activated via Bluetooth.
To streamline the visitor experience, more than 30 three-to-five-star hotels and homestays along My Khe Beach have officially partnered with EV rental providers. Guests can now pick up and return their electric scooters directly at the hotel lobby. All vehicles are delivered with 100% battery capacity and two standard helmets. This seamless partnership simplifies paperwork and drives a circular economy, positioning Da Nang as a model green tourism hub.
