In the past 24 hours, the Thua Thien Hue Department of Tourism and technology partners announced plans to expand 15 additional fast-charging points dedicated to electric motorbikes in key areas such as near the Imperial City, Minh Mang Tomb, and homestays along the Huong River. This is a strategic move to support the sustainable tourism trend. Renters should note to choose rental agencies that integrate charging station maps on their apps to avoid running out of battery while visiting tombs far from the center. Popular models like VinFast Evo200 and Feliz S are dominant thanks to their travel range of up to 150-200km per full charge, suitable for the Hue - Thuan An exploration journey.
Hue City Traffic Police have just issued a notice reminding tourists about complying with traffic rules when using electric motorbikes. The most notable point is that for electric motorbikes with a capacity of over 4kW, tourists must have an A1 class driver's license. Meanwhile, models under 4kW or power-assisted electric bicycles do not require a license but must wear standard helmets. Major rental companies in Hue such as Motorvina or Hidden Land have now begun strictly checking customers' driving licenses before handing over vehicles to ensure safety and avoid legal troubles for tourists during their journey through heritage routes.
To stimulate tourism during the low season, electric motorbike rental businesses in Hue have simultaneously launched the 'Green Hue Tour' program. Specifically, when renting for 2 days or more, tourists will receive a 20% discount on the total bill, along with a 24/7 roadside assistance insurance package. Rental prices currently range from 150,000 VND to 250,000 VND/day depending on the model. This news is particularly valuable for backpackers or international tourists who want to experience Hue slowly. In addition, some units also provide digital maps integrated with 'Authentic Hue' dining spots that have priority parking for green vehicles.
Based on the weather forecast in Hue with the possibility of local showers, technical experts from major electric vehicle rental systems have issued important recommendations. Tourists should not charge the vehicle immediately after coming in from the rain or when the battery is too hot. When moving through flooded road sections in the old quarter area, it is necessary to ensure the water level does not exceed the center of the wheel to protect the electric motor. Current rental services have upgraded their fleets with IP67 standard waterproofing; however, tourists' awareness of maintenance remains the key factor in maintaining vehicle performance.
A prominent new trend in the past 24 hours is that electric motorbike rental agencies in Hue are moving towards 100% management via App. Tourists can book, pay, and receive vehicle unlock codes completely automatically. The integrated GPS system not only helps manage the vehicle but also acts as a 'virtual guide', automatically playing descriptive information about the destination when tourists stop at landmarks. Checking battery capacity and lock status on the app before leaving the vehicle is a prerequisite to ensure assets and avoid unexpected costs. This is a strong service upgrade, helping Hue become a leading smart tourism destination in Central Vietnam.
