Over the past 24 hours, the tourism market in Hue has recorded outstanding growth in smart electric motorbike rental services. Major local rental agencies, such as Hue Green Bike and Motorvina, have simultaneously upgraded their fleets to next-generation models like the VinFast Evo200 and Dat Bike Weaver. A standout feature of this service is its integration with mobile app management technology. Travelers simply download the app and scan a QR code to automatically unlock the vehicle, monitor real-time battery capacity, and access full-time GPS tracking. This online rental procedure saves up to 80% of the waiting time compared to traditional paper-based contract methods.
A major breakthrough registered in Hue is the completion of a rapid battery-swapping station network catering specifically to tourists. A partnership between tech-vehicle manufacturer Selex Motors and local homestay and hotel chains in the Vy Da and Kim Long areas has established more than 15 automated, 24/7 battery-swapping hubs. Travelers renting electric motorbikes no longer need to suffer from range anxiety. Instead of waiting 3 to 4 hours for a full charge, users only need exactly 2 minutes to swap their depleted battery for a fully charged one at these automated booths. This serves as the perfect solution for itineraries exploring royal tombs located far from the city center, such as the Minh Mang or Gia Long tombs.
To stimulate green tourism, the Thua Thien Hue Tourism Association, in coordination with service providers, has announced a large-scale promotional campaign starting today. Specifically, tourists booking electric motorbikes for 3 days or more will receive an immediate 25% discount on the total rental cost. Notably, the rental package includes mandatory civil liability insurance and completely free battery swaps at allied stations throughout the journey. Additionally, visitors will receive a 10% discount voucher valid at 20 famous Hue specialty eateries along the Perfume River.
According to practical insights shared by the travel community and transport experts within the last 24 hours, operating an electric motorbike in Hue requires specific attention. Since the Hue Imperial Citadel area features many small bridges, gentle slopes, and ancient stone-paved roads, tourists are advised to choose the Eco riding mode for smoother throttle control. For journeys traversing Vong Canh Hill or climbing Ngu Binh Mountain, users should switch to Sport mode to optimize engine power. An important tip during Hue's rainy season is to avoid riding through water deeper than 30cm, even though modern electric motorbikes are equipped with IP67 waterproof standards.
Quick statistics from the Department of Tourism of Thua Thien Hue Province indicate that the number of international tourists (especially those from South Korea and Europe) prioritizing electric motorbikes as their primary mode of transport has increased by 45% compared to the same period last year. Embracing green vehicles not only helps preserve the peaceful, fresh atmosphere of the heritage region but also helps travelers save up to 70% on fuel costs compared to traditional gasoline bikes. This is clear evidence that Hue is on the right track toward building a model heritage city that is environmentally friendly and sustainably developed.
