2. Locking hubs - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locking_hubs

   Most modern vehicles with automatic hubs, automatically lock their hubs when using low range gearbox, making it difficult or impossible to use torque multiplication in conjunction with FWD or RWD. Locking hub mechanisms also generally extend further beyond the wheel than most axles, and exposed hub locks can be broken or damaged by off-road ...

3. Beadlock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beadlock

   A beadlock or bead lock is a mechanical device that secures the bead of a tire to the wheel of a vehicle. Tires and wheels are designed so that when the tire is inflated , the tire pressure pushes the bead of the tire against the inside of the wheel rim so that the tire stays on the wheel and the two rotate together.

   Inner tube: a bladder that contains air to inflate a tire. Has a Schrader, "Woods"/"Dunlop" or Presta valve for inflation and deflation; Jockey wheel or Pulley wheel: one of two small sprockets of the rear derailleur that guides the chain; Kickstand: a folding attachment used for assisting a bicycle to stand up on its own.

5. Wheel clamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_clamp

   An early invention were locking wheel clamps or chocks that owners could shackle onto one of the car's road wheels as a hobble, making it impossible to roll the vehicle unless the entire wheel was removed. Between 1914 and 1925 there were at least 25 patents related to wheel locks that attached on the tire and spoke wheel. [5]

6. Locking differential - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locking_differential

   Sensors monitor wheel speeds, and if one is rotating more than a specified number of revolutions per minute (e.g. 100) than the other (i.e. slipping) the traction control system momentarily brakes it. This transfers more power to the other wheel, [6] but still employs the open differential, which is the same as on cars without the EDL option ...

7. Freewheel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freewheel

   The simplest freewheel device consists of two saw-toothed, spring-loaded discs pressing against each other axially with the toothed sides together, like a ratchet but with the usual stationary part also rotating. Rotating in one direction, the saw teeth of the drive disc lock with the teeth of the driven disc, making it rotate at the same speed.
