A system, method and apparatus for propelling an object across a surface is disclosed. A motor is disposed at a location of a wheel of the object and draws electrical power directly from a power supply in order to generate a constant mechanical motion such as a constant rotation. A transmission receives the constant mechanical motion from the motor and generates a variable mechanical motion such as a variable-speed rotation at a wheel. Rotation of the wheel propels the object across the surface.
