Curricles are horse-drawn vehicles that were popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. Some synonyms for curricles are carriages, coaches, and gigs. A carriage typically has four wheels and is designed to seat two or more people. Coaches are larger than carriages and are designed to transport people over long distances. A gig is a light two-wheeled carriage, similar to a cart, which is pulled by one horse. Other synonyms for curricles include phaetons, landaus, and broughams. Phaetons are light carriages with four wheels and no roof, while landaus are closed carriages with a convertible top.
