TL;DR
For a short stay in Da Nang, renting an electric scooter is convenient: some renters simply exchange it for a fully charged bike after a couple of days. For a longer stay, extended rental may be less cost-effective, so some people consider buying their own scooter instead.
If you only need an electric scooter for a few days, renting is seen as practical: one renter simply returned after 2 days and swapped the scooter for a freshly charged one instead of dealing with charging.
For a longer stay in Da Nang, extended rental may be less practical than it first seems. According to chat members, if you need transport for a long period, it can make more sense to look into buying your own scooter.
If you decide to buy instead of renting long-term, the main advice is not to take the first option you find and to look for a scooter in good condition, since the savings only make sense if you buy a decent one.
