Heritage tourism in Hue is witnessing a powerful transformation towards sustainability. Over the past 24 hours, the ancient capital's travel market recorded 5 outstanding news updates and trends related to electric motorbike rental services, bringing exceptional convenience to travelers.
No more worries about charging time or running out of power mid-journey. The trend of renting next-gen electric motorbikes integrated with quick battery-swapping technology is taking over the Hue market. Major rental operators, including Selex Motors in collaboration with local homestays and hotels in Hue city center, have installed over 15 automatic battery-swapping stations. Tourists only need less than 2 minutes to swap a depleted battery for a fully charged one at major heritage sites like the Imperial Citadel, Thien Mu Pagoda, and Khai Dinh Tomb. This breakthrough optimizes tourists' unlimited exploration journeys.
To stimulate green tourism, VinFast electric motorbike rental agents and affiliates in Hue (specifically featuring Evo200 Lite and Feliz S models) have announced a massive promotion campaign. Starting today, tourists booking via apps or scanning QR codes at hotel receptions will receive a 15% discount on daily rental rates (now only 100,000 VND - 120,000 VND/vehicle/day). The program also includes a voluntary travel insurance package and a free digital "Hue Green Map" integrating charging points, swapping stations, eco-friendly cafes, and vegetarian restaurants.
According to the latest statistics released by the Thua Thien Hue Department of Tourism this morning, the proportion of tourists choosing electric two-wheelers (electric motorbikes, e-bikes) has surged by 35% compared to the same period last year. International visitors, particularly from Europe, South Korea, and Japan, account for 60% of this customer base. The primary reasons cited are smooth, noiseless operation, friendliness to the ancient heritage atmosphere of Hue, and saving up to 50% in travel costs compared to traditional gasoline motorbikes.
Tech rental startups in Hue have just launched a smart, keyless vehicle management system. Travelers can unlock, pay, and operate the vehicles directly using their smartphones via the Hue-Ebike application. This system allows flexible pick-up and drop-off at various locations across the city, completely eliminating tedious procedures like keeping physical IDs or requiring large cash deposits, providing absolute convenience for independent travelers within 24 hours.
Alongside self-rental services, Hue travel agencies have officially introduced "Eco-Tours by Electric Motorbike". Guided by local experts on electric bikes, tourists ride through ancient villages like Thuy Bieu and Phuoc Tich, enjoy local cuisines, and learn to make traditional Hue cakes and "thanh tra" pomelo. With zero-emission operation, electric motorbikes are committed by travel operators to maximally preserving the peaceful, fresh environment of Hue's countryside.
