Did you remove the tire and inspect it thoroughly for whatever punctured it before installing the new tube? I will take the tire off the rim, visually inspect it in good light, then run my fingers slowly (be careful not to cut yourself on sharp objects) on the entire inner surface. Closely inspect the outer tread, then check the rim for rough spots or anything that might cause a puncture. Then install the tube and tire by hand. No tools that might damage the tube. If you have to, use plastic tire levers to get the tire back on the rim.I purchased my first ebike almost a year ago and just recently got my first flat. I replaced the tube with a fresh new one. I went out for the first time on it 5 mins when i came back to the bike it was deflated again! Could it be the tire itself is junk?

Nah i didn't do that, to avoid the electrical i just removed the tube and replaced. I suppose that's what i get for trying to cheat lol. The electrical had me overwhelmed. =\
Good opportunity to do it in the comfort of your home. Whatever gave you a flat is probably still in the tire. Once you do it once, it's a piece of cake.
First flat in a year is pretty good! What precautions do you take to minimize flats? What do you carry in your flat kit?I purchased my first ebike almost a year ago and just recently got my first flat. I replaced the tube with a fresh new one.

I agree with you, mostly for environmental issues. It's easy and quite cheap to replace and just throw away a punctured tube. However IF it can be patched appropriately that's what I would do. However, I consider wise to have a new tube always with you, just in case.
Yep, I always carry a spare tube. Saves time on the trail to just swap in the tube to fix a flat. I patch them back in the shop and rotate the repaired tube back into service.
Wow 3 flats in a day is extreme. Must be those darn goatheads sticking in I would guess. We ride mostly on rails to trails/gravel roads here in the Midwest and have not seen a flat in a very long time. Good backup protection is a must.Yep, I always carry a spare tube.

My record is 3 flats in a single day so I also carry a patch kit!
I've always patched the tubes, since I was a kid. On Hub motor e-bikes there is no need to remove the wheel, just pop the tire wall and slide the tube out the side, let it dangle there and inflate to find the leak then patch it. (easy). I also add tire slime to self seal any flats I may get. Probably had a few I never knew about.I purchased my first ebike almost a year ago and just recently got my first flat.

Nice idea but would add one more procedure. Before trying to expose the tube first look for a nail and if there is one and pull it out.I've always patched the tubes, since I was a kid.

I was hoping that would be obvious but you never know.
You carry slime? It won't do you much good unless it's in your tires.
If you have the skills and the tools it only takes minutes to fix a flat. For me if I am just swapping out a tube it takes about five minutes, and most of that time is spent pumping up the tire. If you take CO2 you can reduce that even more.
