Drive Wheel

A drive wheel is a roadwheel in an automotive vehicle that receives torque from the powertrain, and provides the final driving force for a vehicle. A two-wheel drive vehicle has two driven wheels, and a four-wheel drive has four, and so-on.

A steer wheel is one that turns to change the direction of a vehicle. A trailer wheel is one that is neither a drive wheel nor a steer wheel.

Famous quotes containing the words drive and/or wheel:

    Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon, and seldom drive business home to the full period, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success.
    Francis Bacon (1561–1626)

    Having a wheel and four legs of its own
    Has never availed the cumbersome grindstone
    To get it anywhere that I can see.
