Two German engineers teamed up to found WWG in 2006. Stemming from a rural town in the Ore Mountains, Jens Eichler (AKA Lot) and Matthias Kranz (aka Ast) combined their educational backgrounds in [wood and metal works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/econitwood) for their [bicycle projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bicycle-store). "As a wood engineer I'm looking all the time for special projects, which are a change in the standards of the present. So I started out with first drawings to find a good look for the frame. At the same time I'm using a static programme to find the proper dimensions of thickness and stiffness," said Lot. "My goal for the second frame is to develop a more safety and lighter frame for the bike market. At this time I'm working on the drawings for the second bike." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Wooden Bikes:** The trend of producing bikes made of wood is gaining popularity, presenting opportunities for artisans to create unique designs for the market. - **Tandem Bikes:** The production of handmade tandem bikes using materials like wood and metal offers an opportunity for manufacturers to create durable and unique bikes for adventurous consumers. - **Sustainable Transportation:** The demand for transportation modes that are environment friendly is on the rise, providing an opportunity for manufacturers to create eco-friendly bikes that are both stylish and efficient. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Bicycle Manufacturing:** There is potential for the manufacturing industry to develop unique and sustainable bikes that meet the growing demand for eco-friendly transportation. - **Artisanal Woodworking:** The market for handmade wooden bikes presents an opportunity for artisans to create one-of-a-kind designs that appeal to the environmentally conscious consumer. - **Eco-friendly Industries:** The trend towards sustainable transportation presents an opportunity for eco-friendly industries to develop innovative products that cater to the environmentally conscious market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Limited Production Timber Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alfredo-wooden-bikes.md) - [Handcrafted Off-Road Timber Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gravel-wood-bike.md) - [E-Bike-Towed Wooden Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iwoody-bicycle-caravan.md) - [Tread-Wheel Geometric Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-q.md) - [Designer Manual Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/t-bike.md) - [Bespoke Mountain Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unique-mountain-bike.md) - [Featherweight Cargo Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cargo-bicycles.md) - [Lightweight Plywood Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electraply-ebike.md) - [DIY Bicycle Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-wooden-bicycle.md)
