# Sustainable Wooden Electric Bikes Etree Bikes are Madefrom Ash Wood in Australia By Kalin Ned | Published 2021-02-07 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etree-bike References: [etree.bike](http://www.etree.bike/en/#select_model) Etree bikes are pushing the envelope on [function-focused electric vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-bicycle-model) and sustainable production. The company utilizes ash wood sourced eco-consciously from European forests. Due to the nature of the material, Etree is able to guarantee the strong and durable frame of its two-wheelers. There is another benefit to the wooden frame—"it dampens vibration for a smoother ride, while also appearing lighter in weight than similar [high-performance electric bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ponomarets-eidolon)." The company also gives back to the environment more boldly. For every Etree bike sold, the brand plants a tree to help the environment. In addition to the natural wooden frame, which is also waterproof via four-way coating and sealing, the Etree bike boasts an ergonomic saddle seat for comfort, an easily changeable and powerful battery, and a high motor range.
