In the last 24 hours, Selex Motors, a Vietnamese electric motorbike startup, officially signed a partnership with major hotel and homestay chains in central Hue. This collaboration aims to establish automated Battery Swapping Stations, allowing tourists renting Selex Camel electric motorbikes to swap for a fully charged battery in just 2 minutes instead of waiting hours for charging. This breakthrough completely eliminates 'range anxiety' for tourists traveling long distances to explore imperial tombs far from the city center.
Anticipating the wave of international tourists flocking to Hue this summer, GSM (Green and Smart Mobility Joint Stock Company - VinFast) has added over 300 Evo200 electric motorbikes to its self-drive rental fleet in Hue. Pick-up and drop-off points are strategically located next to the Imperial City, Thien Mu Pagoda, and Dong Ba Market. With the advantage of LFP batteries traveling over 200km per charge, this service is highly attractive to young, eco-conscious tourists.
Prominent private electric motorbike rental shops in Hue, such as Hue Green Ride and Smile Motorbike, have launched a major tourism stimulus program called 'Green Heritage Journey'. Tourists booking online via websites or affiliated apps will receive an immediate 20% discount on daily rental packages (starting at just 120,000 VND/day for Dat Bike Weaver 200 and Yadea models). In particular, free vehicle delivery is provided at Hue Railway Station and Phu Bai Airport.
The People's Committee of Hue City has just announced a draft encouraging travel and accommodation businesses to transition to electric motorbikes for tourists. Pedestrian streets along the Perfume River and areas surrounding the Imperial Citadel will be prioritized with dedicated lanes for electric bicycles and motorbikes. Free electric motorbike parking spots are also being urgently completed, creating optimal conditions for the electric vehicle rental market to flourish.
A new technological trend reshaping the electric motorbike rental market in Hue is the integration of GPS-enabled smart screens and automated multi-lingual Audio Guide systems (English, Korean, Japanese). As tourists ride their rented electric bikes past historical sites, the system automatically plays historical commentary about that landmark. This trend has received highly positive feedback from the international self-sufficient travel community, optimizing the exploration experience in the ancient capital.
