    Etymology:

    1823, in Suffolk dialect, “a cart,” especially one with wheels flanged for running on a track (1858), probably from troll (v.) in the sense of “to roll.”

    So I’m gonna go with your definition - trolley has wheels. Ugh, dammit, this has wheels on top.

    Maybe trolley in the sense of usage? As in, used like a trolley or streetcar?
