Either singular or plural can be used when we talk about general things. your sentences seem to me that construct wrong.

A wheel / The wheel is used for making transportation fast and smooth.
Use "the wheel" here. "A wheel" means one wheel, which is rarely useful for transportation.
Wheels are used for making transportation fast and smooth.
Looks fine to me.
