Came on a new bike. I wanted to remove the wheel but I couldn’t get a grip with my cheap wrench. Tried flathead but it seems to be too big for it. I’ll see if I can find a smaller one. Would a pick work for this?

I’d use pliers

If they should be able to be just pulled off, then I would grab them with combination pliers. If you don’t have any, then maybe buy a cheap pair.
Axel nut? Is this a figure skating sub? Kinda like /r/marijuanaenthusiasts is about trees?

What is their function ? — to avoid current tap on an e bike powered by. ? They just popped off easily when I had a flat

You can cut into them a bit with a razor blade and then peel them off, if pulling with pliers alone doesn’t work. Those come from the factory to protect the axles in shipping and they get stuck all the time. You’ll definitely want to check the tight was of the axle nut under there as well.
