Gearwheel

Written by Salen

The Gearwheel is a design on the old horse drawn carriage of old, except without the animals. There are a wide variety of designs from single passenger bikes to five passenger deluxe models. Most of them have a cabin, are low to the ground, have between two to eight wheels (in some cases there are treads in the front and/or back on some models) and a small forge that can house coal. The steam driven clock work gears propel the vehicle across the roads at moderate speed, burning more coal the faster you want to go. Most forges can hold enough coal for a short trip, with larger models holding enough for over an hour or more. Some models have an open cabin, and some have enclosed cabins and many makes and models exist.
