Over the last 24 hours, the transition towards utilizing new-generation electric motorbikes equipped with fast battery-swapping technology has exploded in the heritage city of Hue. Instead of waiting 3 to 4 hours for a full charge at traditional charging docks, major rental providers in Hue, such as Selex Motors, VinFast, and affiliated agents, have simultaneously upgraded their fleets to smart lithium-ion battery integration. Tourists now only need less than 2 minutes to swap a depleted battery for a fully charged one at automated cabinets located at convenience stores and major streets. This technology ensures that tourists' journeys to explore the ancient capital remain uninterrupted, optimizing travel time between distant historical relics.
To meet the rising demand of tourists, electric motorbike rental enterprises have completed expanding and updating the map of charging and swapping stations around major heritage sites in Hue. The latest reports show that automated battery swapping points now densely cover key locations, including around the Imperial City (Dai Noi), Minh Mang Tomb, Khai Dinh Tomb, Tu Duc Tomb, and along Kim Long Street heading towards Thien Mu Pagoda. This strategic distribution allows tourists to confidently travel routes exceeding 50km without worrying about running out of energy midway.
To encourage sustainable tourism trends, electric motorbike rental chains in Hue have launched a series of major promotion packages today. Most notable is the "Smoke-Free Heritage Discovery" combo package with a discount of up to 20%, costing only 120,000 VND to 150,000 VND for a 24-hour rental. This package includes unlimited free battery swaps at affiliated stations within Hue city. In addition, some units also provide a free digital tourist map integrated with charging station locators and famous Hue culinary spots.
A new milestone in the electric motorbike rental service in Hue is the thorough application of app-based management. Renters no longer need to use traditional physical keys. The entire process—from booking, payment, unlocking the bike, to locating the nearest charging/swapping station—is performed intuitively through the provider's mobile application. This technology not only offers convenience and modernity but also guarantees absolute security for the vehicle thanks to the built-in GPS anti-theft smart lock system.
