With most electric scooter rentals in Da Nang, you don't charge the battery yourself — you swap the depleted one for a charged one at the rental shop; for longer trips they can give you a spare battery to carry.

Range depends on the specific scooter model — some go up to 200 km on one charge. If the battery is removable and there are swap stations nearby, it's convenient. If it's built-in and you have nowhere to charge at home, you just swap it for a charged one — though shops like iziGo don't always have fully charged batteries in stock.

Usually you don't charge the battery yourself — at the rental shop they just swap it for a fully charged one. A swap costs around 20,000 VND; for month-long rentals the first 10 swaps are free.

One charge can last several days of riding (e.g. around 5 days) depending on usage. For longer trips, you can ask the rental shop for a spare battery, which they'll place in the under-seat storage compartment.
