An electric bus is a bus that is propelled using electric motors as opposed to an internal combustion engine. Electric buses can store the needed electricity on board,or be fed continuously from an external source. The majority of buses storing electricity are battery electric buses,where the electric motor obtains energy from an onboard battery pack,although examples of other storage modes do exist,such as the gyrobus which uses flywheel energy storage. When electricity is not stored on board,it is supplied by contact with outside power sources. For example,overhead wires as in the trolleybus,or with a ground-level power supply,or through inductive charging.
