Thank you Samy for the great information! Don't underestimate Vinfast EVs. I am driving a VF8 Plus in California, it's powerful, and driving the EV is a joy. I had been driving a hybrid car for over 10 years, and since I switched to the VF8 Plus, everything has changed, especially when it comes to going uphills. A VF8 has 3 driving modes-eco, normal, and sport. Even with a normal mode, a VF8 can go uphill easily, while my old hybrid car had always struggled driving uphills.
@@sarthak1317 I was told the Vinfast electric motorbike "Evo 200" (not Evo 100) with an LFP battery, can go 203 Km (or 125 miles) on a single charge. According to reports, the driving ranges of Vinfast electric midsize SUV VF8 Eco and Plus are 425 Km (or 264 miles) and 390 Km (or 245 miles) on a full charge, respectively. My 2023 VF8 Plus can get 180 miles on a 70% battery (from 85% down to 15%) without using AC, in normal weather conditions of California. The reason I chose VF8 because Vinfast is the only EV maker that offers a battery warranty of 10 years or 1 million miles, whichever comes first. Everyone knows how expensive an EV battery can be!
@@nikkirosenbek5471 @socialsamy thanks for the replies. I just ended up getting a normal petrol scooty for 1.2 mill/month. It's pretty good for the price :)
Nice 👍 Video . I would probably rent out one with 3 wheels , 1 in front, 2 in the rear, I 🎉didn’t see any in this video but I saw them being used in other videos.
@@socialsamy . 2 wheels in back and one in front . Like a super trike design ( Google it) . And with baskets to carry stuff . And Usually an additional seat pops out in front of the drivers seat
@@socialsamy tmax is amazing bike very fast and comfortable ride but I have to tell you that tmax is yamaha not Honda , made me laugh but great video thanks.
Good to know Samy. Is there any chance to rent self driving car in danang? I saw some related websites and apps offering best rates for self driving car rental. Just afraid of scamming.
I enjoyed this video and I have been thinking about the Vinfast electric bikes they have four models. For around the city an electric bike is the way to go. I saw them in Nah Trang. Hey you can buy this one for only 18,000,000 dong, you can't buy a regular motorbike for that! And no license is a big plus. In Da Nang there is so much traffic how fast can you go? I think they are adequate in the sport mode driving in the city. I am excited that I can rent one to see how well I would like it, thanks for this video!
That’s true it even less then 18m but you have to rent the battery separately for ~300k VND a month and I believe you need a Vietnamese person to register it for the street. I looked into it 6 months ago :)
Dear Samy. Can you please do a walking video on the Tran Bach Dang lane please. Behind the Muong Thanh Luxury hotel. Please show the hotels and restaurants in that lane.
@@Charles-Bruno good idea I covered a small part of it already in this video below. But I will do one for the whole street with hotels! Da Nang Beach Walk and Crazy Tandoori Pizza! th-cam.com/video/_UvgL7MkQG0/w-d-xo.html

😂😂😂😅 u made my day hahah, whwn u tried that yellow 50cc electric bike 😂 Was not that cheap though, 2.5m/ month 😵 Maybe thats why ppl just do the 115-130cc for 1.2m/month
You missed a nearby motorbike rental place called Samatha where they rent all new motorbikes but the price is very cheap and the rental conditions are very quick
Good video Samy! I'll be there in a couple weeks, my weapon of choice is the Honda PCX 125..... I'm 6 ft 6 and 265 lb and it fits my needs.😜🛵☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️
Hi, haven't watched your content for a long time, as always you are good bro! Can you tell me if it is possible to rent a bike without an international driving license?
@@milostruelove9236 thank you mate I have lots of new videos 🙏 yes they only want either a document or a cash deposit. No driver license. They would go bankrupt if they would ask for a valid driver license 😃

@@canadianboy454 if they tell you to but as far as I saw from my friends they get they get also not full when they received it. It’s definitely not like rental cars in the west
Hi Sir..thanks for making an effort for this video..may i know,do tje authority required any international licence to ride in vietnam,I'm singaporean and will be in vietnam this coming novenmber and my plan ia to rent a bike there..
Sadly there is no international driver license valid in Vietnam. In reality if you have one real motorbike driver license and international driver license they might let you go. And actually asean driver licenses should count in every asean country but somehow it doesn’t count.
Can you do a video on money? It's easy for US citizen to bring their already US dollar. Canadian will get hit twice if we convert to US dollar and then to Vietnam đồng. Which atm is safe? Etc. Thank you.
@@Udjeox don’t worry it’s easy with every major western currency to either change cash in gold shops or just take your credit card and cash out money from VP or Tp bank without atm fees.

Can you make a video on which hotels offer motorbike rental to non-hotel guests? I once rented a motorbike from a hotel in an island in Thailand. I feel it's safer to rent it from hotel than from a local shop.
It’s not like Thailand tho. Big hotel Brands don’t rent out motorbikes and small ones work with local neighbors. 1-4-5 my friends always use without any issue and the have a very good reputation. But like I said I’m the video unless u use an electric or 50CC you breaking the law.
So here's an interesting question for u. I've been driving a 110cc Honda Vision in HCMC for 6 months w no license, never been pulled over. However, if I were; what would happen? Cuz the police will issue me a ticket for no license and impound the bike. Then I would have to pay the ticket, and have the owner to get the bike from impound and I pay the fee/penalty. I've always wonder what the cost would be? 2m? Of course, there's the coffee money option :) but I hear it's getting harder to bribe these days cuz the VN gov makes cops wear cameras, not to watch u, but to watch themselves for bribes, LOL. I would definitely go for the Vinfast but $100 usd/month seems steep. I got a super deal for the Vision for 700k/month = $28 usd... Moving to DaNang soon 😀
@@benquach3127 it really depends where you drive and what kind of police check point there is. If they have a truck next to it and wear the cameras they go for the bike in worst case scenario. My foreigner friends yet never had any issues getting out of it. I’m pretty sure the big rental guys will fix any issues for you. One friend bought a electric motorbike for 13m on lazada which he can drive without issues. And it’s like a vinfast

How many miles does it go on full charge? The guy was claiming 100kms

Is it possible to rent a bike in the south and take it all the way to the north and drop it off there? Does this service exist?
