How many wheels does a car need? Small survey: How many wheels does a car need at least so that it can drive and maintain balance? Means the number of wheels required as standard or in a prototype and available. So also no jokes like on three wheels and a rim, but normal driving operation. Of course, this is not a joke question, steering wheel and spare wheel do not count. And what I understand by a car, I also want to define: 1.A vehicle that the car needs 2.A vehicle that is driven by a car engine or a similar engine and not by an engine that is typical for two-wheelers, such as 50, 125 or 250 cc two-stroke and comparable. 3.A car cannot be defined by the number of seats. There are also cars with only one seat (racing car). One of the cars that can or could drive with “X” wheels, however, offered space for four (or more?) passengers. 4.A car cannot be defined by the type of power transmission: in the early days, motor force was often transferred to the driven axle by means of a chain. And today, there are motorcycles with a cardan shaft. It would be nice if everyone were to explain why they consider a certain number of wheels necessary. The resolution is then available when all possibilities have been mentioned. Therefore, it would be nice if someone who knows exactly how many wheels I mean, did not “peat” before, a picture or a All right, let’s go.
