axleless
Lacking rotating rod
Axleless describes something designed or built without an axle—the rod or shaft on which wheels rotate.
The term appears in specialized contexts like skateboarding or vehicle engineering, where unconventional wheel arrangements eliminate the traditional axle: an axleless truck design, axleless roller skates.
