transmissionless

Lacking gear system

Transmissionless describes a vehicle that lacks a traditional multi-gear transmission, typically because it uses an electric motor that delivers power directly to the wheels.

Electric vehicles are often transmissionless since electric motors provide consistent torque across their speed range, eliminating the need for gear changes: The transmissionless design means fewer moving parts to maintain.
