what makes forest ethical?

An idea that started in a
london pub
garden in 2019

That idea was simple: move people around cities without costing the earth.

Today, Forest covers more of the capital than any other shared ebike, and 20% of Londoners have downloaded our app.

We’ve run a zero emissions operation, since day one.

That means all forest ebikes & service vehicles are powered by zero-carbon energy.

We offset remaining emissions via local tree planting

We partner with the Great Reserve & grow an actual forest in Wales, to offset our remaining emissions.

B Corp score of 99,& the only bike to 
be verra validated.

We refurbish bikes, instead of sending them to landfil

75% of our heaviest bike parts are refurbished, & the remaining 35% 
are recycled.

Some bikes need moving faster than others; based on location & when it was last used.

We assign 1-30 free mins to each bike, based on how quick we need it to move.

By moving bikes in busy or low-use areas, our riders help us balance the fleet...

...and reduce the need for more support vans on the road, cutting energy use & consumption.

And in return for moving them, you get rewarded with £1 rides up to 30 mins long.
