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.

    Expect no trivial truth from me, unless I am on the witness- stand. I will come as near to lying as you can drive a coach and four.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A wheel that can be turned though nothing else moves with it, is not a part of the mechanism.
    Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
