“Buy a Car for 0 Dong: A Practical Economic Solution”

Dat Bike, a Vietnamese electric motorcycle startup, is emerging as a leading brand in the high-performance electric vehicle segment. Users have praised its operational efficiency and surprising cost savings.

When Vehicles Are No Longer a Depreciating Asset

Traditionally, vehicles are considered depreciating assets—losing value over time and incurring monthly operational costs. However, this perspective is shifting as real-user data tells a different story.

Thanh Vũ – Ride-Hailing Driver in Biên Hòa, Đồng Nai

At Dat Bike’s service center on Âu Cơ Street, Thanh Vũ from Biên Hòa and Trần Văn Mới from Bình Dương, both ride-hailing drivers, shared their experiences with electric motorcycles in their daily work. Both reported their Quantum S bikes reaching 50,000 km within just 6 months to a year.

“I travel about 200 to 250 km daily. My longest single charge took me 270 km with 13% battery remaining. For my ride-hailing work, I save around $4.50 daily without needing oil changes,” shared Vũ while waiting for his bike’s maintenance.

On fuel alone, Vũ saves approximately $85–$100 monthly, totaling nearly $1,000 annually—almost half the bike’s cost. For high-mileage users, this is a significant operational saving.

Beyond fuel, traditional vehicles incur hidden costs like oil changes, coolant, and complex engine maintenance. Mới previously spent over $4.50 weekly on oil changes due to high mileage.

Dat Bike’s high-mileage users (averaging 150–200 km/day) consider 50,000 km the “break-even point,” where fuel and maintenance savings match the bike’s initial cost.

Anh Khoa, a freelancer whose Quantum S has reached 50,000 km, confirmed, “At 50,000 km, the bike has essentially paid for itself.”

Leading the High-Performance Electric Motorcycle Segment

Amid rising living costs and economic uncertainty, consumers prioritize proven performance and durability in electric vehicles. Dat Bike excels in both areas, establishing itself as a leader.

Users like Khoa, accustomed to powerful gasoline bikes, and Vũ, who frequently hauls heavy loads, praise the Quantum S’s performance. It sustains 90–100 km/h speeds and strong torque even under load, dispelling myths about electric bikes’ limitations.

Durability is proven by top users reaching 50,000 km in 6–12 months with no performance decline. This equates to 4.5–5 years of typical use (20–30 km/day). Low recharging costs, minimal wear, and eliminating fuel, oil, and complex maintenance expenses make electric bikes a clear economic choice.

The battery system’s stability after tens of thousands of kilometers supports Dat Bike’s claim of “25-year battery life.” Users like Vũ and Mới, both over 50,000 km, report no voltage drop or range loss, consistently achieving over 250 km per charge. Thus, electric bikes are not just eco-friendly but a sustainable, cost-effective investment.
