Hmm.

Emphatically no battery, a transport of delight, strongly denied bicycicular properties, wheeled (adjectival rather than verbal.)

Roller skates/blades fit in a breadbox, and might not move OB very far horizontally.

Hmm.

So far we have concentrated on wheeled land-based devices. anyone want to risk the last two guesses on water or skiddy (not me, silly) devices?
