Just checking to see if the Maxxis tires worked out for you.
I went thru a small patch of thorns and next morning 2 flats.
I located the thorns in the tires and saw no visible puncture signs on the inside of the tire.
So, wondering if you encountered any clearance issues ft/rear as I don't want...

I don't look back after I buy stuff. It's depressing to see it go...
I can tell if a roadie or group of them has been through. I see all the energy gel packets on the side of the road.

Welcome to the forums.

BTW.. what e-bike are you riding?
Welcome to the forum.
Sorry to hear about your woes with your bike.
For suggestions on a new bike I would do as much research until your brain hurts. So many choices out there it is hard to pick just one. A big plus is shopping from a LBS and see what they offer and if they are supporting their...
15 years is a long time for a dream. Some people sadly never reach their dream. So glad you stuck it out.
Having your family involved is a great experience for them. It will be something they will always remember. Good things... of course. :)
Wish you all the success in your new venture.
