Wheel Torque
The torque that ultimately acts on the wheels after amplification by the reduction gear, equal to the motor output torque multiplied by the transmission ratio. Whether it can be converted into acceleration is constrained by the tire's adhesion limit.

Electric vehicles typically use a single-speed reduction gear with a ratio between 8 and 12, so wheel torque can easily exceed several thousand newton-meters.
