Forest - eBike Sharing

First time. Loved it. So easy and fast

App was working great for 3 weeks. Now with todays update on iPhone app is no longer working and giving a code error message.

+1 star for free 10 minutes of daily usage. However, the rest of the experience is awful. The app doesn’t work (bikes are never where they say they are, slow to load, forgets that you are on a ride, interface makes no sense). It can be a frustrating experience. The fee system also is completely inconsistent. Do they charge a parking fee inside the parking zones, or not? Why does my emailed receipt always differ from the one in-app? How many minutes do I have remaining within my 10 minutes of free biking time and why is this not tracked? Bikes work well enough. Maybe 1/3 rides the motor will fail. Would recommend using another service unless there’s a large number of them in your neighborhood. But overall, the headache is not really worth the ~£1 savings vs other providers.

Did not power up to accelerate and making sounds.

Been trying out all the e-bike apps in London to solve my commute. Love the sustainability ethos behind the app. Small incentives to watch ads that are geared towards green consumer behavior, and best of all first 10 min of each day is free! Green and clean way to get around the city :)

Great prices compared to Lime but horrible app experience. Always crashing. Slow. Hard to rent. Bad map. Frustrating.

They’ve just started including a “service fee” and no longer email you a brake down of charges after your ride. You have to go into the app to find it. This seems a bit sneaky ….

There is a £1.5 minimum charge per day while it advertised itself as absolutely free for the first 10 minutes per day. It is not expensive, but it’s neither honest.

Really enjoying using these bikes this week will be getting more bundles. Although I’m surprised I don’t see bounties being offered for starting a journey on a bike in a red zone seen as there is a fine paid by the people leaving them there forest could easily reward rider ten minutes for starting a ride on a bike out of bounds and ending within!

So inconsistent: from scanning QR codes 5 times until it actually works, to app break downs, not being able to end rides etc. One of the worst built apps I’ve seen in a long time.
