In the past 24 hours, Xanh SM Bike (a subsidiary of VinFast) officially announced the addition of 200 VinFast Feliz S electric motorbikes in Hue City to meet peak autumn tourism demand. Along with increasing the fleet size, the unit launched a 15% discount for first-time users booking via the app at key tourist spots such as the Imperial City, Thien Mu Pagoda, and Khai Dinh Tomb. This service is becoming a top choice due to its convenience, modern fleet, and transparent pricing.
A major turning point for the EV tourism experience in Hue is Selex Motors' completion of 3 additional automatic battery swapping stations on major axes: Le Loi, Hung Vuong, and near the Hue Railway Station. The 2-minute battery swap technology eliminates range anxiety for tourists. Currently, Selex's partner rental agencies in Hue are offering all-inclusive rental packages including unlimited battery swaps starting from only 150,000 VND/day.
This morning, the Thua Thien Hue Tourism Association signed a memorandum of understanding with local electric motorbike rental providers. Accordingly, more than 20 large 3-5 star hotels in the city center will set up EV pick-up and drop-off points right at their lobbies. Models like Dat Bike and VinFast Evo200 are prioritized for long-range routes (over 150km per charge), suitable for distant destinations like Thuan An Beach or Chuon Lagoon.
Recorded at rental points on Vo Thi Sau and Chu Van An streets, the demand for hourly rentals has grown by 30% compared to last week. With prices starting at just 30,000 VND/hour, young tourists often choose electric bikes to cruise around Hue's beautiful cafes or go for late-night snacks. Owners say EVs are preferred for their silent and smooth operation, perfectly matching the peaceful atmosphere of the Ancient Capital.
Based on tourist feedback in the last 24 hours, experts recommend using charging station map apps (such as VinFast or Selex) to ensure uninterrupted journeys. As Hue begins to experience light showers, new generation EVs with IP67 water resistance standards are proving superior to traditional gasoline bikes. However, tourists should carefully check the braking system and tires before renting from small-scale establishments. Choosing providers with 24/7 rescue commitments is crucial for absolute safety on the gentle hilly roads in Hue's outskirts.
