Most people won't immediately recognize the name Bough Bikes when they think of bicycles, but with their new invention it's only a matter of time until they're one of the big names in the industry. The small Netherlands-based company has decided to take on the huge undertaking of creating the world's first [electrical wooden bike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ethunder) and they did it with style.

There have been [electrical bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-bicycle-model) for a while, but they often look strange and are loud. They are also usually made of the typical material that bikes are made out of, like aluminium.

The bike feels like riding downhill at all times, and has an [adjustable speed regulator](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bicycle-technology), so the rider can choose the experience they want.
