The wheel and axle are easily spotted on any skateboard. It could be argued that there is a lever created by the deck and the axle assembly because of the way the truck works. The truck supports the axle hanger on a "pillow" or "cushion" (a pair of bushings, grommets or rubbers -- you choose your own term), usually made of an elastomer, which allows the hanger (the part that the axle runs through) to move relative to the base of the truck, and, therefore, the deck.
The wheels spin on the axles, as is intuitively obvious. The line of the axle is parallel to the flat surface of the deck when the deck is not loaded. When a skateboarder rides the deck, however, the deck can be tilted via the lever action. The line of the axle remains parallel to flat ground, but the plane of the deck tilts to one side or the other. The fulcrum is the fastener (the bolt, called a kingpin) that holds the axle assembly (the hanger) onto the base of the truck. The load is the "resistance" of the bushings. The lever is a 2nd class one, by the way, like a wheel barrow, and not a 1st class one, like a claw hammer being used to pull a nail.
