User reviews

Totally waste

If you are in a hurry the app is slow, to take the bike and to let you finish it. Also the bikes, Jesus. I just tried 12 bikes. All broken. All showing in the app. It is the worst of all bike apps. Not even cheaper. Big trash. Not worthy.

STAY AWAY

If I could leave a lower rating I would, first ride I ever did I tried to use the £1 deal. Bike just kept beeping at me and wouldn’t start. Then I paid £4.59 for 35 mins, I used this bike, I took a picture and stopped the ride. Come back to a £35 fee on my account. I tried ringing up but there phone line is always closed no matter if it’s a week day or a weekend. I tried emailing a few times and live chat but haven’t been able to get through to anyone nor have I had a response. Then a week later I thought I’d try the app again. Tried a £1 deal and the bike was no where to be seen. Tried another 2 £1 deals before I found one, I reported the other bikes as broken but I’ve still been charged. Again tried to contact them but nothing.

Basically if anything goes wrong like the bike or overcharged when u already paid for a lime pads then u are screwed and can’t get ur money back as they never get back to you.

Bring back Lime

Can’t park next to other Forest bikes in the e-bike bay.

Terrible app

App breaks on a weekly basis.

Great when it works

Great when you can find a bike that works. Issues with bugs such as pausing a ride, the app malfunctioning and automatically ending the ride only to find out 35 mins later that the ride is still ongoing is quite irritating.

Furthermore, I work in central London and often finish at 1am. It used to be that there were plenty of bikes however nowadays I can walk for 15 mins to several different bikes and them all be “in for maintenance”, please can you work on having more working bikes in circulation in central London late at night . I’m regularly having trouble getting home because of it.
