Hanoi: 500 electric motorbikes expected to be available for rent from October

On the evening of August 18, information from a unit that is renting public electric bicycles in Hanoi said that this unit is officially asking for permission to put 500 low-speed electric motorbikes into operation in October to replace the electric bicycles currently rented.

Specifically, information from this leader said that these are electric motorbikes operating at a speed limit of 25 km/h, expected to be present in 9 inner-city wards of Hanoi . The unit also aims to develop 100,000 - 200,000 bicycles and electric motorbikes by 2030, gradually replacing gasoline motorbikes in the inner-city area.

It is known that from October 2025 to the end of 2026, this unit aims to expand the infrastructure to be able to serve 50,000 vehicles operating regularly in the Ring Road 1 area. Each vehicle is expected to serve an average of 5 trips/day, equivalent to 250,000 trips/day; 7.5 million trips/month; 90 million trips/year.

The public electric bicycle rental model is gradually attracting Hanoi residents.

Vehicles will be prioritized in areas with high travel demand such as: Near metro stations, bus stations, schools (middle school, high school, university), hospitals, densely populated areas, old quarters...

The model is being replicated to gradually replace fossil fuel-powered motorbikes in the inner city, forming a green, smart, zero-emission personal transport network; while promoting the development of a more efficient, comprehensive and community-friendly public transport system.
