HumanForest
Forest (formerly HumanForest) is a dockless bicycle hire service in London in the United Kingdom. The service charges riders £1 to end their ride, and rewards them with 2 minutes for parking in borough designated parking areas. As of September 2021, Forest has over 800 bicycles on city streets, making it one of the four main e-bike operators in London, competing with Santander Cycles (docked) and Lime/Jump (both owned by Uber), these services replacing Chinese companies Mobike and Ofo after their insolvencies and removal. Forest launched in 2020, but was shut down within months after someone was injured due to a faulty e-bike. The company recalled all of the bikes and replaced them, restarting service in 2021. The service aims to be different to its competition by promoting green ideals and providing users with 10 minutes of "free" service a day (users still need to pay a "parking fee" for every ride, which is currently £1). Forest is ad supported by partners such as Nutmeg and Whole Foods
