Over the past 24 hours, Hue's tourism market has recorded outstanding growth in smart electric motorbike rental services. Associated rental agencies have simultaneously upgraded their fleets, deploying over 500 next-generation electric motorbikes (mainly VinFast Evo200 and Dat Bike Weaver) to serve the peak tourism season. A key highlight is the free vehicle delivery and pick-up service within a 5km radius around the Imperial City and central Hue hotels. Rental prices remain stable, ranging from 120,000 VND to 180,000 VND/day, making it the top choice for young travelers and international tourists wishing to experience the ancient capital in a quiet, eco-friendly way.
To completely eliminate range anxiety when visiting suburban tombs like Minh Mang and Khai Dinh Tombs, electric vehicle rental businesses in Hue have partnered with Selex Motors and local cafe chains to expand the rapid battery swapping network. Within the last 24 hours, 3 additional next-generation automatic battery swapping stations went into operation on major routes leading to the outskirts. Tourists spend less than 2 minutes exchanging a fully charged battery without waiting, ensuring an uninterrupted journey of exploring the ancient capital.
To encourage tourists to switch from traditional gasoline motorbikes to green vehicles, an alliance of major EV rental shops in Hue announced a special promotional program starting this week. Specifically, tourists renting an electric bike for 3 days or more will receive an immediate 15% discount on the total bill, a free digital tourist map integrated with charging/swapping stations, and a 10% discount voucher at partner eco-cafes. The program attracted over 1,200 registrations on its very first day of launch.
The Thua Thien Hue Department of Tourism, in coordination with the Smart City Monitoring and Simulation Center (IOC), has updated the direct electric motorbike booking feature on the Hue-S mobile application. Now, tourists only need to perform a few simple steps to scan a QR code, select their vehicle model, pay online via e-wallets, and receive the vehicle at the designated spot. This integration not only enhances price transparency and eliminates tourist solicitation but also protects tourists' rights when visiting Hue.
According to travel agencies in Hue over the past 24 hours, the number of international tourists booking self-drive EV packages increased by 35% compared to the same period last month. Tourists from Europe, South Korea, and Japan particularly prefer using electric motorbikes to wander through the ancient streets of Kim Long, enjoy local street food, and watch the sunset by the Perfume River. This trend is shaping a new tourism lifestyle in Hue: slow, silent, emission-free, and fully immersed in the flow of heritage culture.
