motorless
Lacking mechanical propulsion
Motorless means lacking a motor or engine.
The word typically describes vehicles or devices that operate through other means—human power, gravity, wind, or momentum: a motorless glider, motorless flight.
Sailboats and bicycles are motorless by design; a motorless car has broken down or run out of fuel.
