Think of a machine that turns energy into motion: the thing under a car's hood, or the small one that spins a fan or drives a boat.
There is only one vowel in the word: O - and it appears twice. The other three letters are all different.
It is a noun for an engine, and also a verb meaning to travel by car.
It starts with M.
It ends with R, the middle letter is T, and the second and fourth letters are both O.
The answer

MOTOR: a machine that turns energy into movement, most often the engine in a vehicle - and, as a verb, to travel by car. The trap is the doubled O: ROTOR sits one letter away, and MOTEL shares its first three letters.
