In the past 24 hours, data from GSM (Xanh SM) indicates a sharp spike in electric motorbike bookings in the Ancient Capital of Hue. With a fleet of over 500 VinFast Evo200 Lite units, Xanh SM Bike has officially become the leader in the short-term electric motorbike rental market. A key feature is that no motorcycle license is required for the 45km/h limited models, making sites like the Citadel and Tu Duc Tomb more accessible. Flexible rates starting from 120,000 VND/day are putting immense competitive pressure on traditional gasoline rental shops.
A new trend has been recorded at 4-5 star hotels along Le Loi Street and the Vy Da area with the emergence of self-managed electric motorbike stations. Partners like Dat Bike and VinFast have signed agreements to provide bikes for guests. Specifically, the 'Green Stay & Ride' package allows guests to rent directly at the lobby with a 20% discount for stays over 2 nights. This is a strategic move to align Hue's green tourism image with the travel habits of international tourists, especially those from Korea and Europe.
The Hue Monuments Conservation Center recently announced a collaboration with EV companies to complete the installation of 10 additional fast-charging points at the parking lots of Thien Mu Pagoda and Khai Dinh Tomb. This solves the 'range anxiety' for tourists exploring suburban areas. These stations are compatible with various models from VinFast to startup brands, boosting the self-drive electric motorbike rental market more than ever.
News from travel communities shows a clear shift on the Hai Van Pass route. Instead of gasoline bikes, high-performance electric models like the Dat Bike Weaver++ are highly sought after at rental shops in both Da Nang and Hue. Rental agencies now offer 'one-way rental' services, allowing guests to pick up in Hue and drop off in Da Nang for a surcharge of only 150,000 VND. The stability and instant torque of electric bikes make conquering the pass safer and more enjoyable.
To stimulate summer tourism, electric bike rental apps in Hue have released the 'HUEGREEN' promo code, offering a 30,000 VND discount per trip or 15% off weekly rentals. Statistics show that 70% of users in the last 24 hours are Gen Z, who care about environmental protection and enjoy the quietness of electric motors while navigating ancient streets. This trend is reshaping the entire structure of tourism transportation in Central Vietnam.
