In the last 24 hours, Xanh SM Bike (under GSM) officially announced plans to reinforce its fleet with 200 additional VinFast Feliz S and Evo200 electric motorcycles in central Hue. This strategic move aims to meet the surge in tourists during the upcoming festival season. These models are highly regarded for their quiet, emission-free operation, fitting perfectly with the serene and ancient atmosphere of Hue's monuments. Rental prices remain stable, starting at just 20,000 VND for the first 2km.
An alliance of electric motorcycle rental companies in Hue has launched the 'Touch the Ancient Capital' promotion. Tourists renting an e-bike for 2 days or more receive a 15% discount and a digital map of charging stations across the city. This program focuses on new models with a range of 150-200km per charge, allowing visitors to explore further destinations like Chuon Lagoon or Thuan An Beach without range anxiety.
The Thua Thien Hue Department of Tourism and private partners have completed the installation of 5 fast-charging points dedicated to e-bikes at the parking lots of Khai Dinh Tomb, Minh Mang Tomb, and Thien Mu Pagoda. This initiative addresses the primary concern of tourists: running out of battery mid-trip. The new smart charging system allows an 80% charge in just 30-45 minutes, coinciding with the time tourists spend sightseeing.
The most notable travel tech news today is the update of new features on the Hue-S app. Tourists can now easily locate reputable e-bike rental shops, check real-time availability, and book directly through the app. The system displays detailed information on vehicle types (VinFast, Dat Bike, Klara) and transparent pricing, enhancing the user experience for tech-savvy international travelers.
According to the latest survey on travel behavior in Hue, over 65% of young tourists prioritize electric motorcycles over gasoline bikes to protect the environment. Major rental shops on Le Loi and Nguyen Hue streets reported being fully booked over the weekend. To meet this demand, many providers have implemented free hotel delivery and 24/7 mobile battery swap support, catering specifically to high-end and international segments from Europe and South Korea.
