Over the past 24 hours, the next-generation electric motorcycle trend in Hue marked a major breakthrough as Selex Motors partnered with local accommodation providers to install 5 new-generation automatic battery-swapping stations right in the city center and near the Hue Imperial Citadel. This 2-minute battery-swapping technology completely eliminates range anxiety for tourists traveling long distances to royal tombs like Tu Duc and Minh Mang. Electric motorcycle rental agencies partnered with Selex Motors reported a 45% surge in bookings thanks to this outstanding convenience.
To promote sustainable green tourism, Xanh SM (GSM) in collaboration with the Thua Thien Hue Department of Tourism announced a special promotion campaign called "Green Hue". Under this program, tourists renting VinFast Evo200 and Feliz S electric scooters at rental hubs in Hue will receive an immediate 30% discount, bringing the rental cost down to just 100,000 VND to 120,000 VND per day. The promotion is applicable by scanning QR codes at 3 to 5-star hotels and international tourist information booths in Hue, attracting over 1,200 registrations on its very first day.
This morning, the Department of Tourism of Thua Thien Hue Province announced a pilot plan for a "Zero-Emission Heritage Route" around the Imperial Citadel and along the Huong (Perfume) River. Accordingly, tourists using rented electric scooters will enjoy free parking at heritage sites within the Hue Monument Complex and receive a 10% F&B discount voucher at partner restaurants along Le Loi Street. This is a strategic move aimed at minimizing noise and internal combustion engine emissions in Hue's core heritage zone.
Recognizing the growing demand among young travelers to road-trip across the legendary Hai Van Pass connecting Hue and Da Nang, Dat Bike's rental partner in Hue has officially deployed the Dat Bike Quantum electric scooter for long-distance self-drive rentals. Featuring a powerful motor and an impressive range of up to 270 km on a single charge, the Dat Bike Quantum is becoming the top choice for adventure tourists. The rental price is listed at 250,000 VND per day, which includes 24/7 roadside rescue along the entire Hai Van Pass route and fast-charging support at affiliated pit stops.
Another prominent trend in the last 24 hours is the aggressive green shift among small and medium-sized lodging facilities in Hue. More than 30 homestays and boutique hotels in the Vi Da area and Chu Van An walking street have simultaneously signed agreements to install smart mini-battery-swapping cabinets for rental electric scooters. Guests no longer need to charge their vehicles overnight in their rooms; they can simply exchange their depleted battery for a fully charged one at the reception lobby in under 60 seconds. This convenience not only elevates the guest experience but also helps accommodation providers boost their ratings on OTA platforms like Agoda and Booking.
