What is "wheelset"

n. A wheel and axle combination. For example, it can refer to: the front and back bicycle wheels (with axles) sold as a ready-made set; or an axle and mounted left and right pair of railroad wheels.

Wheelset may refer to:

• bicycle wheel
• wheelset (rail transport)

A wheelset is the wheel - axle assembly of a railroad car. The frame assembly beneath each end of a car, railcar or locomotive that holds the wheelsets is called the bogie (or truck in North America). Most North American freight cars have two bogies with two or three wheelsets, depending on the type of car; short freight cars generally have no bogies but instead have two wheelsets.
