Wheel having a first part rotable around a central axis, with branches inscribed in a circle whose diameter equals that of the wheel, a circular outer surface of all branches forming a first part of the wheel tread, a second part movable relative to the first part between first closed and second open positions, the second part including branches inscribed in a circle whose center coincides with the central axis, apparatus for moving between first and second positions, the first position where the wheel has a complete circular circumference forming a continuous tread and the second position where the wheel has an incomplete circular circumference forming a discontinuous tread. A third wheel part has teeth whose circular outer surface forms a second part of the wheel tread, the teeth pivotally mounted on the first part, driven by movement of the second part, and movable between two positions.
