This type of treadle-driven wheel does not use a drive band; instead the flyer is directly friction-driven via a rubber ring in contact at a right angle to the flat surface of a solid drive wheel. One example from New Zealand dates to 1918,<ref>{{cite magazine |last1=Boulter  |first1=Lynne  |last2=Knox |first2=Mary |date= September 2016|title="World War One Friction Drive Wheel – Found!" |magazine=Creative Fibre Magazine |publisher=The New Zealand Spinning, Weaving and Woolcrafts Society Inc.}}</ref> and a very few other models using this drive method have been manufactured since 1970. These wheels are extremely compact and less fouled by outdoor dirt than drive-band wheels, but they are quite uncommon.<ref>{{cite web |title=s40 suitcase spinning wheel |url=https://www.louet.nl/historie/s40-suitcase-spinning-wheel/?lang=en&v=06fa567b72d7 |website=Louet |access-date=14 January 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=the roadbug. |url=https://welfordpurls.com/2015/08/17/the-roadbug/ |website=Wool n' Spinning |date=17 August 2015 |access-date=14 January 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Main |url=https://www.pocket-wheel.com/home |website=Home of the Original Pocket Wheel |access-date=11 February 2024}}</ref>
