locomotes
Travels under power
Locomotes is the third-person singular of locomote, meaning to move from place to place.
The word is somewhat technical, appearing more in biological or scientific contexts than everyday speech: The amoeba locomotes by extending pseudopods.
Most speakers would simply say moves or gets around.
