2 wheels

[hippo]

Hi all,

Can anybody help me with the following:
do I write "two wheeler" (in 2 words) or "two-wheeler" with a dash?

Thank you very much!

Hmmm...

I've never actually seen that written. I suppose you could just say that "the car had two wheels", or that "it was a two-wheel car".

I think you could say a two-wheeler.

Hope this helps!

Normally a car doesn't have two wheels, and we wouldn't call a car a "four-wheeler" simply because it's so obvious that it doesn't need to be mentioned. "Two-wheeler" when referring to a normal bicycle (as opposed to a tricycle or a bicycle with training wheels), for example, sounds perfectly reasonable to me.
