1. Rapid Expansion of Fast Battery-Swapping Networks for Tourists
In the past 24 hours, Da Nang's electric two-wheeler tourism market witnessed significant progress with 12 new automated Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) swapping stations launched along Vo Nguyen Giap, Hoang Sa coastal roads, and Hai Chau district. Spearheaded by providers like Selex Motors and VinFast-affiliated hubs, battery swapping now takes under two minutes, eliminating range anxiety for travelers riding up the Son Tra Peninsula or visiting Linh Ung Pagoda.
2. Deep Rental Promotions and Package Discounts from Major Operators
To cater to incoming travel peaks, reputable rental agencies across Da Nang (including Moc Trip, GreenGo, and Da Nang E-Bike) launched flash sales offering 15% to 25% discounts on multi-day rentals (3 days or more). Popular models like VinFast Evo200 and Feliz S are currently priced between 120,000 VND and 160,000 VND per day, inclusive of vehicle damage waivers, two certified helmets, and pre-installed smartphone navigation mounts.
3. Shift Toward IoT-Connected Fleets and App-Based Self-Service Rentals
Tourist mobility operators have accelerated the rollout of IoT-equipped e-scooters featuring keyless digital unlocks. Domestic and foreign visitors can now pick up motorbikes via instant QR code verification at prime hubs such as Da Nang International Airport, the Dragon Bridge, and central coach stations, bypassing traditional physical passport deposits. The connected platforms also push real-time battery status and nearest charging station alerts.
4. Safety Advisories and Regulations for Hai Van Pass Excursions
Traffic authorities in Da Nang issued updated safety directives for electric scooter users heading to Hai Van Pass: only electric two-wheelers with a continuous output rating of 1,500W or higher (such as VinFast Klara S, Dat Bike Weaver++, or Theon S) are recommended for steep incline traction and reliable regenerative braking during descents. Low-power electric bicycles and sub-standard mini-scooters are strictly advised against on high-altitude passes.
5. Luxury Hotels and Resorts Partner for 'Net Zero' Green Mobility
An eco-initiative signed between Da Nang's tourism stakeholders and over 20 beachfront resorts in Ngu Hanh Son offers in-house guests e-scooter access with the first two hours free or 30% off full-day rates directly from hotel concierges. This quiet, zero-emission transportation model supports coastal preservation while delivering modern, sustainable travel experiences.
