I have to say, it does sound a bit odd to say "a least one wheel", then later referring to it as "the at least one wheel".   I have not come across this situation, but there must be a better way to say it.   The english language cannot be abandoned entirely when drafting claims.

I guess refering to it later as "the wheels", like someone already indicated, is acceptable, but then that doesnt include one wheel.

I think we should also mention the weird usage of English language in claims when it comes to expressing plurality.

For example:

"A one or more element"  instead,
"A one or more elements".

This usage supposedly should prevent interpreting the phrase as "one elements" which still indicates plurality.
On another hand "several element" even though not very pleasant to read does indicate plurality.

Another weird usage that just comes to mind is:

"...distributing a predefined quantity of element" instead,
"...distributing a predefined quantity of elements"

In this case the weird usage shall indicate that the quantity can be many or 1.
