Over the past 24 hours, the tourism landscape of the ancient capital of Hue has witnessed a powerful shift toward 'green mobility' with a series of breakthrough advancements in electric scooter rental services. Here is a synthesis of the top 5 latest news updates, reflecting the smart battery-swapping trend, stimulating promotional programs, and the real-world experiences of travelers in Hue.
To completely eliminate tourists' range anxiety when traveling long distances to suburban royal tombs like Khai Dinh Tomb and Minh Mang Tomb, a coalition of major electric scooter rental agencies in Hue has partnered with a high-tech EV brand to launch a network of 15 automated, 24/7 battery-swapping stations. Now, in less than 2 minutes, tourists can swap their depleted batteries for fully charged ones at key traffic hubs near the Imperial City, Thien Mu Pagoda, and Dong Ba Market without waiting for manual charging. This technology optimizes travel time and enhances tourist autonomy.
The Department of Tourism of Thua Thien Hue Province, in collaboration with green transport enterprises, has launched the 'Green Hue Heritage' campaign to encourage sustainable tourism. Specifically, over the past 24 hours, the system recorded over 1,200 registrations for a 20% discount on electric scooter rentals via online applications. Travelers only need to scan a QR code at famous heritage check-in spots to instantly apply the discount to next-generation electric scooters equipped with GPS, safe CBS brakes, and spacious under-seat storage.
With today's cool autumn weather in Hue, electric scooter rental shops reported a 45% surge in revenue compared to last week. The trend of young tourists choosing vintage-style (Vespa-like) electric scooters to freely explore Thuy Xuan Incense Village and Chuon Lagoon has become the most popular movement. All-inclusive rental packages—including civil liability insurance, a digital tourist map, and 15-minute on-site battery rescue services—are currently the best-selling items, ensuring absolute peace of mind on every road.
Recognizing the high demand for premium experiences from foreign tourists, especially South Korean and Western visitors to Hue, major rental agencies on Le Loi and Vo Thi Sau streets have imported a fleet of premium Cruiser-class electric motorbikes with double the standard battery capacity. This model not only offers a smooth ride and comfortable seating posture for long-distance journeys but also integrates a USB smartphone charging port, a smart navigation holder, and high-end hydraulic suspension. The service comes with a multi-language support package (English, Korean, Vietnamese) on the rental app.
Great news for passengers of the 'Heritage Connection' train (Hue - Da Nang): immediately upon disembarking at Hue Station, tourists can complete electric scooter rental procedures in just 1 minute via a mobile app at the newly installed automated Kiosks. This system is directly linked to major hotels in the city, allowing customers to flexibly return scooters at their accommodation or affiliated stations without returning to the railway station, simplifying luggage handling and optimizing travel costs.
