In April of 2024, the team at Nerpa and their friends from Lost.Travel set off to do something special – an electric motorcycle adventure around Vietnam on bikes manufactured in the same country. The goal was to create a ten-day, sort of self-guided route starting in the historic city of Hoi An and winding its way North into the mountains.
For 2026, Nerpa is offering this adventure to anyone interested. And that anyone is me!
As mentioned, the ride begins in Hoi An, a UNESCO site that doesn't have an airport. So, you’ll have to fly into Da Nang (DAD), about an hour away, or travel in from Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City via a domestic flight or a sleeper bus. After that, you’ll be provided with a small, electric motorcycle that they claim is capable of traveling 200km on a single charge, given a route to follow on your smartphone, and set free to explore Vietnam.
