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.

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.

Forest Fund: how we give back to London, our home
From backing grassroots football for women and girls across the city to repurposing old tyres into playgrounds
We’ve given away 100 million free minutes to our riders since 2019. Here’s why:
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.
