In the past 24 hours, Hue's tourism industry has recorded a strong shift from traditional vehicles to electric motorcycles. Aiming to build a sustainable heritage city, the government and travel agencies are prioritizing electric motorcycle rental services to minimize noise and emissions around the Imperial City and royal tombs. Models like VinFast Evo200 and Feliz S are becoming top choices for tourists due to their stylish designs, perfect for check-ins on ancient streets like Kim Long or Le Loi.
Xanh SM Platform has officially expanded its scale in Hue, allowing tourists not only to book electric bike taxis but also to rent electric motorcycles by the day via the app. According to the latest records, the number of VinFast electric motorcycles released in the Hue market has increased by 20% compared to last month. A standout feature of this service is the integrated GPS system, helping tourists easily find their way to attractions far from the center, such as Gia Long Tomb or Dam Chuon, without worrying about battery issues thanks to a battery exchange network covering the city.
Many electric motorcycle rental shops in the backpacker area (Vo Thi Sau, Chu Van An) launched attractive combo packages today. Specifically:
Notable news for independent travelers is the addition of 10 fast-charging points at parking lots near key relic sites. This completely resolves the 'running out of power' fear for tourists. New charging stations are concentrated at the Toa Kham boat wharf, and the parking lots of Tu Duc and Khai Dinh tombs. According to statistics, a full charge now only takes about 1.5 - 2 hours, just enough time for tourists to finish visiting one relic site.
Based on feedback from the travel community in the last 24 hours, using electric motorcycles helps tourists save up to 40% on transportation costs compared to petrol bikes or traditional taxis. The quiet electric motor allows tourists to fully enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of Hue, especially when traveling around the Huong River in the evening. Rental companies also advise tourists to carefully check battery capacity and receive instructions on using driving modes (Eco/Sport) to optimize travel distance on terrain that sometimes has slight slopes, such as the Thien An hill area.
