A trailer is generally an un-powered vehicle pulled by a powered vehicle. Commonly, the term trailer refers to such vehicles used for transport of goods and materials. Enclosed toy trailers and motorcycle trailers can be towed by commonly accessible pickup trucks or cars, which generally requires no special permit beyond a regular driver's license. Specialized trailers like open-air motorcycle trailers and bicycle trailers are much smaller, and accessible to small automobiles. Some simple trailers are pulled by a draw-bar and ride on a single set of axles.
