Forest and Bird have announced a groundbreaking integration, marking Europe’s first collaboration between two major micromobility operators. Through this partnership, Bird users can now access Forest’s e-bike services in London directly via the Bird app. With Bird being North America’s largest micromobility operator, this move will connect millions of global users to Forest’s fleet of 15,000 e-bikes in London.

This innovative partnership aligns with both companies' shared mission to expand access to sustainable urban mobility and reduce reliance on car travel. By streamlining e-bike rentals through the Bird app, the collaboration aims to make affordable and eco-friendly transportation more accessible to Londoners and visitors alike.

Expanding Access to Sustainable Mobility

Bird’s extensive network, generating millions of rides annually, is expected to drive significant growth for Forest’s e-bike service. Each year, London attracts over three million visitors from the United States and one million from Canada. With the integration now live, Bird app users visiting London can seamlessly rent Forest e-bikes across the city using their existing in-app payment methods.

Forest, one of Europe’s largest bike-share operators, offers 15,000 bikes across 13 London boroughs, completing 1.2 million rides per month. The partnership will allow Bird riders to enjoy a reliable, sustainable, and affordable transportation option during their stay in the UK capital.
