An improved wheel is disclosed which is capable of traversing small obstacles easily without having to mount over the obstacle. The wheel design includes a wheel hub having an axis of rotation and a wheel rim coupled to the hub by a plurality of spokes. The wheel rim is formed in the shape of an annular sinusoidal wave having a plurality of alternating crests and troughs extending away from a center line by an amplitude. The wheel rim is configured such that the spokes couple to the rim at the center line at an intersection of the crests and troughs. The spokes are separated from each other by a space extending from the wheel rim to the hub.
