Anything that can move and carry people around, be it powered by an engine, the wind, or by pedalling it yourself.

Tis forTrolley

A trolley is a type of wheeled cart used to move things around. Trolleys don't have their own motor, and can range from being small enough to push yourself, like a shopping trolley, up to industrial sized trolleys used to move cargo.

Tis forTruck

A truck is a very large vehicle that is driven on roads. It is used to transport large amounts of goods over very long distances.

Uis forUFO

UFO stands for unidentified flying object. Usually when people say UFO or flying saucer they mean a visiting alien spaceship. Most UFO sightings are eventually identified to be something ordinary, like a weather balloon, an ordinary airplane or a strange cloud.

Uis forUnicycle

A unicycle is a bicycle with only one wheel. The "uni" at the start of the word means one, just like the "bi" on bicycle means two, and the "tri" on tricycle means three. Because unicycles only have one wheel they are hard to ride and hard to steer, and they are not seen very often outside of circuses.

Wis forWagon

A wagon is a heavy vehicle with 4 wheels that used to be pulled by a team of horses or oxen to move large loads around. Today, wagons are usually used on farms and pulled by tractors. In some countries the separate parts of a train that are used to carry goods are called wagons.

A wheelbarrow is something you use in the garden or on a building site to move things around that are too heavy to carry yourself. They have handles at one end to push and a wheel at the other end. Wheelbarrows only have one wheel so they are easy to steer, and so you can tip them up and drop whatever is in the wheelbarrow into a pile on the ground. Wheelbarrows are very good for moving dirt, soil and gravel.

A wheelchair is, as the name suggests, a chair with wheels. The back wheels are very big and usually have a handle running around the edge of them so you can push the chair along using your hands. Some wheelchairs are powered by a small motor, for people who don't have strong enough arms to push them along themselves. They have a little steering stick on one of the arms of the chair. Other wheelchairs are just for moving people around short distances like in a hospital, and the person sitting in the chair can't move them at all. These wheelchairs have handles on the back so someone like a nurse is needed to push them around.
