An electric taxi system (ETS) (100) for an aircraft may include an electric motor (102) positioned on a landing gear assembly (101) of the aircraft; and one or more selectively operable engaging members (111, 210, 211, 311, 411, 511) for selectively coupling the ETS (100) with a wheel (114) of the aircraft. The engaging members may be drivably coupled to the electric motor (102). The engaging members (111, 210, 211, 311, 411, 511) each have a base member (138, 338, 438, 538) and a leading end (135, 335, 435,536). An axis (140, 354, 454) of the base member and an axis (142) of the leading end may be in straight-line alignment upon initial engagement of the engaging member with the wheel. The axes of the leading end and the base member may displaced from a straight-line alignment responsively to lateral forces exerted on the leading end resulting from deflections of the wheel during taxiing of the aircraft.
