Congratulations! Nice to hear you being so happy!
Some remarks:
No reason to lock your suspension whatsoever. Suspension locking is only used on steep climbs with traditional MTB to increase the pedalling efficiency. No reason to do it on e-bike. The primary function of the suspension is to maintain the traction at all times. I assume some deep pothole can happen in your area!
I am also very negative to "replacing the Devil with the Satan". In my opinion, Johnny Watts are the ultimate SUV e-bike tyres. Their tread is of dual nature: the hard small knobs in the centre are almost silent on the pavement. The bigger soft ones help on hard cornering and offroad. Why should you replace these marvels with inferior tyres (Marathons)? I'm talking for myself: I will never ever return to Marathons. Not that Marathons are bad. They are just inferior compared to JWs!
