Cars have transmissions so they can shift gears, a bike's transmission is the gears that change your speed. The lower the gear you're in, the faster you peddle.

If it has more or less than 2 wheels then it's not a bicycle.A car is motorized and a bicycle is not. A bicycle saves energy. Of course, a 'motor' or 'electric' bicycle can be powered. Fundamentally a 'bicycle' has two wheels and a car has more (usually four).
