No. The Karura Forest bike hire cost does not include the entrance fee.
You pay Kenya Forest Service at the gate. Karura Bikes does not sell that fee on the booking form, and the hire price on the cards above stays the hire price. A Kenyan or East African adult entrance on the current record is KES 174. Parking, if you drive in, is KES 295 per vehicle for the day. Neither figure is added at checkout. The full schedule is on the Karura Forest entrance fee page.
Each rider pays the per-person price. Entrance is not in these totals.

The cost of a 2-hour bike hire at Karura Forest with Karura Bikes is KES 650 per person.
That price is for one bicycle for two hours. A male bike, a female bike, and a child bike all use it. You pay it online before the ride. A partner supplies the bike for the date on the booking. The 2-hour price does not buy the bicycle, and it does not pay the gate.
The cost of hiring a bike for 4 hours at Karura Forest is KES 1,200 per person.
The 4-hour hire is a longer booking at its own price. It is still one person, one bike, and the same rate for each bike type. Two people on a 4-hour hire pay KES 2,400. Forest entrance stays at the gate.
The price of a bike at Karura Forest on this site is a hire price, not a purchase price.
Karura Bikes does not sell bicycles. The price is what you pay to book one bike for the hours you choose. One rider pays the per-person figure. Each extra rider adds that same figure again. The table lists the hire total for one to six riders. A bike hired from someone at the forest gate is a different price, set by that person, and it is not the price on this page.
The Karura Forest bike hire cost leaves out the entrance fee, parking, and anything the gate charges on its own.
Entrance for a Kenyan or East African adult is recorded at KES 174. Parking is KES 295 per vehicle for the day if you drive in. A meal, a picnic site, or another activity inside the forest is charged by whoever runs it. None of those amounts is added to the hire checkout.
