A motor is configured to apply a rotational force to a wheel that includes a rim rotatably mounted to an axle about a first axis. The motor has a rotor coupled to the rim. The rotor has an interior cavity and a plurality of radial slots formed therein. A cylindrical stator is disposed within the cavity and has a second axis offset from the first axis. The stator is fixed in rotation relative to the axle. The motor further includes a plurality of vanes, each vane being slidably disposed within one of the plurality of radial slots. A compressed gas source is in fluid communication with the cavity and selectively provides compressed gas to the cavity to rotate the rotor.
