Ratings and Reviews
Great price but needs to improve
Price wise is great for 15-20 min journeys sometimes beating underground fares in London, bikes themselves are not the best out there but they are good.
They need to improve the app though. Like many other bike services, you have to park at specific spots however the app layout makes it difficult to quickly know where is the nearest parking place from your destination before you start your journey as it lacks a search for address feature. Secondly it displays all the forest bikes nearby making it impossible to even see the map sometimes (perhaps there is a way but I haven’t been able to turn this off)
Lastly, since you have to use other app such as google maps to know where you are going, once you arrive at your destination and go back to the forest app, the app forgets you were renting a bike so you have to wait until your ride shows up or have to close the app and open it and hope you can finish your ride. Since you pay per minute it doesn’t feel great 😂 specially when you are also running late
Again in terms of bikes and service, great. But the app needs a few improvements

Hello and thank you for your review, we're really sorry to hear that you've found issues with the app. We've recently added quite a few updates and have worked on making the map a lot clearer, we'd love to hear your feedback on our recent changes! 😊🌳
Great Customer Service
Today I had an hiccup (maybe phone related or app related, not sure), but basically I struggled to end the ride in central London for approx 20 min. When the bill arrived it was not outrageous though, thanks to the first 1in free. However the surprise it that they realised there had been a problem (I had asked a fellow biker to chat with them and tell them I struggled to end the ride) because of no log out for 20 min and they automatically reimbursed me. Thank you! Also, despite I find some of the old “Forest” bikes a bit clunky (River much better in terms of suspensions, speed etc), I respect what you are doing and it’s time someone slows down this Uber/Lime domination of the e-biking world. You still have some areas of improvement (eg why can’t we see the charge available before activating the bike?), but - again - well done. Keep up the good work.

Hi there! Aww, that's lovely to hear. We pride ourselves on having a great support team! We're so glad we were able to help. Thank you for the feedback, we're working on improving all of the bikes as well! Some exciting changes coming soon. Thanks again 😊🌳
Not London, Forest only covers most of London.
update from worse to dam awful. went out on an F bike, 1st bike faulty (crank - poor maintenance) so swap for another bike that had a faulty motor, swap for another bike, work brilliantly until need to brake, no brakes. next bike had a faulty crank again. tried parking next to 4 other f bikes just 20m away and the app wouldn’t let me park. JUST GO LIME. Forest only cover 80% of London. but both Lime and santander covers the whole of London. Which makes them the best e-bike services for the whole of London. It would of been nice if Forest advertised themselves as only partially covering London, but I guess that defeats the point of Labelling yourself as a London service. But, as a customer it really annoying because you go to park and find out you can’t park. When I say you can’t park somewhere, I don’t mean 10 metres or even 100 metres, I mean a mile or more? Which then defeats the object of using an ebike. Also being colour blind doesn’t help as forest colour scheme for its maps uses vague greys and green. And when it sayes you can’t park it parts of London. it doesn’t say where you can park, just you can’t park somewhere. Chat bot says something similar and call centre closes after 6pm. so a partial time and partial area coverage. I think we should call the Forest Bike the Sunak Bike as both have got a similar coverage across London.

Thanks for taking the time to review us!
We're truly excited about the prospect of bringing Forest and Parking Bays to every corner of London—it's a dream we're passionate about! ✨
However, Dockless parking is subject to regulation in each borough, and the rules can vary significantly. If you find that we're not currently operating in your specific area, it's unfortunately because we haven't secured the necessary permissions from that borough yet. We understand how frustrating this can be, but please know that we're tirelessly working to expand Forest's reach!
If you'd like to see Forest in your neighbourhood, it would be incredibly helpful if you could reach out to your local council or raise awareness on social media about the impactful work we're doing to benefit our planet. Your support means the world to us! 🌳🚀
