User Reviews

Users like the Forest eBike system for its free initial minutes, generally available bikes, and comfortable, responsive Forest bikes with a sustainability angle. However, widespread issues drag down the experience: unpredictable parking charges and billing inconsistencies (including £20 fees and misaligned receipts), frequent app problems (login/logout during rides, code errors after updates, poor end-ride flow, slow loading, unreliable ride tracking), and mechanical reliability concerns (motors failing or not powering on, bikes stopping mid-ride). Parking spot scarcity compounds problems.

Pros

Free minutes (daily/initial 10 minutes).
Bikes are generally available / quick to access.
Forest bikes are comfortable and responsive, often preferred to Lime.
Easy to use for first-time riders.
Sustainability / eco-friendly approach to city mobility.

Cons

Unpredictable billing and parking charges (including £20 fees) and misaligned receipts.
App reliability issues (logins/logouts during rides, code errors after updates, slow loading, end-ride flow problems, unreliable ride tracking).
Bike reliability problems (motors failing or not powering on, stopping mid-ride).
Limited parking / docking spots and poor parking UX.
Bikes not always where indicated / inaccurate bike locations.

I wanted to like them over Lime however there weren’t as many return spots and the app used to track your service and find places to return the bike were really annoying. It didn’t work well. I should’ve used Lime from the beginning and didn’t. I thought I’d try something new and paid the price.

Parked outside the area as all parking was far away. Got charged £20 without warning - scam. Please refund. There was no displaying that £20 will be charged

Love the minutes system, bikes are generally available. That said, more and more I’m running into issues with bike engines either not working or stopping in the middle of rides. As well, the app will consistently log me out in the middle of a ride, costing me extra minutes at the tail end of my trip. Happens once or twice, not an issue, but it has become a daily occurrence. That, with the inconsistency of the bike quality is making it more and more difficult to continue being a loyal customer
