In the past 24 hours, Xanh SM (part of Vingroup) officially announced the expansion of its VinFast Feliz S electric motorcycle fleet for self-drive rental services in central Hue. With promotional prices ranging from 120,000 VND to 200,000 VND per 24 hours, this service is attracting a large number of international tourists and youth. The biggest advantage is the VinFast charging station network covering hotels and major attractions, ensuring tourists have peace of mind when traveling on routes like Le Loi, Dien Bien Phu, or around the Imperial City.
Selex Motors, a leading Vietnamese electric vehicle startup, has completed the installation of 5 additional automatic battery swapping stations at strategic locations near Khai Dinh and Minh Mang Tombs. This is a breakthrough for the electric motorcycle rental industry in Hue. Instead of waiting 3-4 hours for a charge, Selex Camel renters now take less than 2 minutes to swap for a fresh battery at a station. This technology completely resolves 'range anxiety' for tourists exploring sites far from the city center. Selex rental partners in Hue have also launched an 'Unlimited Battery Swap' program for just 50,000 VND/day.
To meet the demand for high-performance electric vehicles, Dat Bike has established a transit and rental point for the Weaver++ line at the Chu Van An - Vo Thi Sau pedestrian street area. This model offers performance comparable to a 150cc petrol bike, making it ideal for long trips from Hue to Hai Van Pass or Thuan An Beach. This news quickly captured the attention of the trekking community. The rental package includes full insurance and accessories, with a commitment to 24/7 technical support throughout Thua Thien Hue province.
An emerging trend in the last 24 hours is the partnership between electric vehicle rental units and homestays in Kim Long and Vy Da. Records show that over 30 homestays have signed MOUs to provide electric motorcycles directly to guests at rates 20% lower than the market average. The integration of smart vehicle management apps allows tourists to easily book, unlock, and check battery status right on their phones. This not only promotes sustainable tourism but also minimizes noise in quiet residential areas.
Hue city authorities are considering a proposal to establish 'green lanes' prioritized for electric vehicles, including rental electric motorcycles, along routes lining the Huong River. This information has stimulated rental businesses to upgrade their fleets and update GPS features integrated with automated tourism narration. Tourists renting electric bikes now do more than just travel; they experience a digitized cultural journey, directly connected to the province's smart tourism applications (Hue-S).
