That sounds just like a trolling motor, only for a car instead of a boat!

People love that trolling motors are small, simple, and quiet. You use them to slowly move the boat, usually while fishing. The main engine is still used for getting the boat quickly around from one place to another.

Maybe we all should have car trolling motors!
