In the past 24 hours, Xanh SM Bike officially announced the deployment of an additional 200 VinFast Feliz S electric motorbikes in the Hue city center to serve the peak tourist season. The most highlight is the launch of the 'Ancient Capital Tour' service package integrated into the app. With this package, tourists can rent bikes hourly (4 hours or 8 hours) at extremely preferential prices, starting from only 120,000 VND. This service not only provides transportation but also suggests optimal routes through famous landmarks such as the Imperial City (Dai Noi), Thien Mu Pagoda, and Khai Dinh Tomb, ensuring tourists don't have to worry about navigation or battery management as VinFast's charging station system is densely covered at these stops.
According to surveys from major motorbike rental units in Hue such as Hiditour and Hue Motorbike Rental, the trend over the last 24 hours shows a strong shift from gasoline bikes to next-generation electric vehicles, specifically the VinFast Evo200. The main reason is the ability to travel up to 203km per full charge, allowing tourists to take longer trips to Tam Giang Lagoon or Thuan An Beach without worrying about running out of power midway. Current rental prices range from 150,000 to 180,000 VND/day. These units are also applying promotions like 'Rent 2 days get 1 day free' or 'Free on-site battery swap' to attract young tourists who prioritize a green lifestyle and fuel cost savings.
Notable news in Hue tourism is the collaboration between the Hue Monuments Conservation Center and technology partners to install 10 additional fast-charging points for electric motorbikes at the parking lots of major attractions. This completely solves the biggest concern of tourists when using electric bikes: running out of battery. Reportedly, these new charging stations are fully compatible with current popular electric vehicle models. This is part of the 'Hue - Green Tourism City' campaign, encouraging tourists to use zero-emission vehicles to protect the ancient atmosphere of the heritage site.
Local tourism experts have updated the latest guide for tourists renting electric motorbikes when wandering around the Imperial City. Due to the characteristics of the narrow streets and sharp turns inside the citadel, using electric motorbikes with high instant torque requires tourists to get used to the throttle in the first 5-10 minutes. In particular, tourists are advised to utilize the Eco mode to maintain a stable and safe speed when passing through densely populated areas. An important note is that electric motorbike rental shops in Hue now provide apps to track battery and charging station locations via QR Codes attached directly to the bikes, making itinerary management more professional and convenient than ever.
Over the last 24 hours, a new trend called 'Combo Green Stay' has been exploding at homestays and luxury hotels in Hue. Instead of renting vehicles separately, tourists can book accommodation packages that include an electric motorbike for the entire journey. Units like Silk Path Grand Hue or Alba Wellness have partnered with electric vehicle rental companies to provide this service at prices up to 30% lower than individual rentals. This is a strategic move to synchronize the sustainable experience for tourists, allowing them to stay in green spaces while using eco-friendly transportation, contributing to reducing noise and emissions for the heritage city of Hue.
