Hanoi Electric Scooter Rental | Flexible Day, Week & Month Options
About 8 minutes to read
Renting an electric scooter in Hanoi means planning the charging as well as the dates. Motorbike Nguyen Ha in Long Bien quotes electric motorbikes and e-bikes per model for daily, weekly and monthly rentals, and the deposit also depends on the model. Before you book, tell the shop your dates, the distance you expect to ride each day and where the scooter can be charged, then ask which model is available for those days.
Electric scooter rental prices by day, week and month
Electric models do not have a fixed listed rate: ask for the price of the exact scooter, with your pickup and return times. Do not divide a monthly figure by 30 and treat the result as the price of a short rental. The table shows how the electric line sits next to the petrol bikes that do have listed rates.
| Bike | Day | Week | Month | Deposit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Honda Wave | 150,000 VND | 700,000 VND | 900,000–1,200,000 VND | 2–3 million VND |
| Honda Vision | 200,000 VND | 1,000,000 VND | 1,800,000–2,000,000 VND | 4–5 million VND |
| Honda Air Blade | 200,000 VND | 1,000,000 VND | 1,500,000 VND | 3 million VND |
| Honda Click / Yamaha Mio | 150,000 VND | 700,000 VND | 900,000–1,200,000 VND | 2 million VND |
| 50cc scooter | 200,000 VND | Contact for a quote | Contact for a quote | 4 million VND |
| Electric motorbike / e-bike | Contact for a quote | Contact for a quote | Contact for a quote | Depends on the model |
Prices are in VND and depend on the model, the rental period and the actual condition of the bike. If you need to return the scooter late, contact the shop before the agreed deadline and confirm any extension charge and revised return time under your actual rental contract. To compare rental periods, see Hanoi motorbike rental prices and monthly motorbike rental.

Check charging before you choose a scooter
A range figure in an advert is not a plan. Tell the shop your route, whether you will carry a passenger and where the scooter will be parked overnight, then ask about the battery condition of the scooter you will actually receive, the charger supplied with it and how to read its battery gauge. Real range depends on the model, the battery, the load, bridges and slopes, and stop-start traffic, so keep a reserve for the ride back.
If you plan to charge at a guesthouse, hotel or office, ask the owner first and check that the place and the socket are suitable before you collect the scooter. Do not assume that a café, car park or public charging point allows charging or fits a rental scooter, and only use the charger approved for that scooter. For the background, read battery care, charging and heat, battery swap or plug-in charging and lead-acid or lithium batteries.
Electric motorbike or e-bike: do the same rules apply?
Do not work out the licence rules from the word “electric”. Ask for the registered vehicle type, the specifications and the papers of the vehicle you will ride. According to guidance published on the Vietnamese Government Portal on 22 January 2026, a moped (xe gắn máy) has a design speed of no more than 50 km/h and, with an electric motor, a power of no more than 4 kW. How motor power and speed map to licence classes is explained in electric scooter licence rules in Vietnam.
The electric line in the table does not set a price or policy for every electric bicycle, pedal-assist bike or model sold as an “e-bike”. If you need an e-bike, describe the type you want and ask the shop to confirm that a suitable one is available.
Prepare a charging and quote plan
Send the information below in one enquiry. It helps the shop assess the actual booking without treating an advertised range, an online model name or an unconfirmed socket as a promise.
| Tell the shop | Ask it to confirm |
|---|---|
| Your pickup and return dates and times | The rental period used for the quote and the return deadline. |
| The vehicle type you want | The available model and its registered classification; explain whether you mean a motorbike or a pedal-assisted bicycle. |
| Your usual daily route and whether you will carry a passenger | Whether the actual bike suits that plan, what battery information is available and how to allow a reserve. |
| Your proposed overnight parking and charging place | The supplied charger and the model-specific charging instructions. Your accommodation must separately approve charging. |
| How you expect to collect and return the bike | The meeting point, any separately agreed delivery charge and the battery level to record at return. |
If you change accommodation during the rental, check the new charging arrangement before moving the scooter there. A previous host’s permission does not establish that the next building permits charging. Contact the shop if your charging plan stops being practical; do not wait until the battery is almost empty to explain the problem.
A message you can copy before booking
Hello Nguyen Ha, I need an electric [motorbike / bicycle] from [pickup date and time] to [return date and time]. My usual journey is [route and estimated daily distance], with [one rider / a passenger]. I plan to park and charge at [place], where permission is [confirmed / still being checked]. Please confirm the available model, rental quote, deposit, documents, supplied charger and instructions, and the collection and return arrangements. Please also tell me which battery information we should record at handover.
Send your enquiry on WhatsApp or use the shop’s contact details. Sending a request does not reserve a particular model; wait for the shop’s confirmation.
Deposit, documents and handover
The deposit for an electric model depends on the model and is kept separate from the rent. The documents to bring, the payment method, the refund conditions and any deductions are confirmed in the rental agreement; the general checklist is in the rental requirements. At pickup, check the scooter’s condition, the battery level, the charger and every accessory together with the shop, and photograph existing marks so both sides can compare them at return.
- Note the battery level shown on the dashboard at pickup and agree the level expected at return (how to agree and record it).
- Ask the shop to show the controls and any riding modes fitted to that scooter before you ride away.
- Keep the charger, its cable and any key or remote with the scooter, and check that they are listed in the agreement.
Riding an electric scooter in Hanoi traffic
An electric scooter pulls away quietly and smoothly, which is why pedestrians and other riders often do not hear it coming. Ride with your lights on in poor light, use the horn briefly in alleys and at blind corners, and leave extra space at crossings (being seen and heard on a silent scooter). Ask for a demonstration of the controls. If you need practice, arrange it in a suitable permitted setting before using public roads, and plan the outward and return journey together so that you never ride the last kilometres on an almost empty battery.
Electric scooter rental FAQ
Can I rent an electric scooter by the day?
Yes, ask per model. The daily rate depends on the model, so the shop quotes the exact scooter with your pickup and return times. Weekly and monthly rates are also quoted per model and are confirmed before you book.
How far does a rented electric scooter go on one charge?
There is no single figure for every scooter. Range depends on the model, the battery, the load and the riding conditions, and carrying a passenger or crossing bridges shortens it. Share your daily route with the shop so it can suggest a suitable model, and always keep a reserve.
Can I charge a rental scooter at my accommodation or at a public charger?
Only where charging is allowed, where the set-up suits that scooter and with the charger approved for it. Ask your host and the shop before you collect the scooter, not on the first evening.
What should I record when I collect and return the scooter?
Record the scooter’s condition, the battery level, the charger and the accessories handed over, with photos of existing marks. Compare the same points with the shop when you return it.
Do I need a licence for an electric scooter?
It depends on how the specific vehicle is classified, not on the word “electric”. The Government Portal guidance of 22 January 2026 places mopeds at a design speed of no more than 50 km/h and, for electric motors, a power of no more than 4 kW. Ask for the vehicle’s specifications and papers, then check the licence rules linked above.
Is an electric scooter or a 50cc scooter better for a less experienced rider?
It depends on your schedule, where you can charge and how confident you are in traffic. Compare the 50cc rental guide with this page, then ask the shop which models are available for your dates.
