An electric taxi system (ETS) (100) for an aircraft includes rollers (119) attached circumferentially to a wheel (111) of the aircraft, and a sprocket (113) with circumferentially distributed teeth (115) attached to a sprocket-tooth ring (116). The sprocket has a hub (114) with an axis of rotation (150) that is parallel to an axis of rotation (152) of the wheel of the aircraft. The sprocket includes a flexible member (124) interposed between the hub and the sprocket-tooth ring. A radial axis (158) of at least one tooth of the sprocket is substantially perpendicular with an axis of rotation (154) of at least one of the rollers even if the at least one of the rollers is non-parallel to the axis of rotation of the wheel of the aircraft.
