The electric moped and motorbike rental market for tourism in Hue City is undergoing a powerful transformation with expanding tech infrastructure, upgraded services, and large-scale promotional campaigns. Below are the top 5 highlighted events recorded in the last 24 hours.
In the past 24 hours, green transport operators in partnership with the Thua Thien Hue Department of Tourism officially deployed 300 smart electric motorbikes at key transit hubs, including Hue Railway Station, Nguyen Hoang Bus Station, and Le Loi Avenue. Featuring a range of up to 110 km per full charge, GPS tracking, and app-based smart unlocking, these vehicles allow tourists to seamlessly explore the Imperial Citadel, Thien Mu Pagoda, and Royal Tombs.
The most significant breakthrough today is the completion and deployment of 15 ultra-fast battery swapping stations at Hue's primary tourist hubs. This battery swapping technology allows riders to exchange a depleted battery for a fully charged one in just 30 to 45 seconds, eliminating long charging wait times. Located strategically at Nguyen Dinh Chieu Walking Street, Toa Kham Boat Station, and Dan Nam Giao Tourist Center, this infrastructure completely solves range anxiety for travelers.
Hue City officially updated its smart city platform, Hue-S, to include real-time electric motorbike booking and battery swapping station navigation. Tourists can scan a QR code via the app to complete rental procedures within 2 minutes, locate the nearest available battery swapping dock, and complete cashless payments through integrated e-wallets, significantly elevating digital green tourism.
To boost tourism during peak season, major rental operators in Hue simultaneously launched a special promotion offering a 25% discount on daily rentals (down to 120,000 VND/day from 160,000 VND/day). Furthermore, rentals of 2 days or more include 3 free battery swaps across the partner station network, effective starting today through next month.
Reports from rental agencies in central Hue show a 140% spike in demand for battery-swappable electric scooters compared to last week. The 'Self-guided Green Tour' trend paired with heritage navigation apps is gaining immense popularity among foreign tourists and young travelers. The convenience of instant battery swaps enables visitors to extend their journeys effortlessly to suburban attractions like Chuon Lagoon and Phuoc Tich Ancient Village without energy constraints.
