ebike road tyres

Hi All
My lekker bikes Amsterdam GT+ bike (as shown in the pic) currently has WTB® Riddler 700C x 45 Black tyres on it (the slightly off-road type) which I hate and they need replacing and want more road-type tyres on them as it is 100% a road bike. Does anyone have recommendation on which normal road tyre are good and will fit?
TIA

I’m not 100% sure what tread you’ll want but I always use Schwalbe Marathon Plus for puncture resistance. I can go yrs between flats on my daily commute.

Their p-guard protection is also quite good, lots of fleets use those tires because they are more affordable and still provide 5/7 protection level. I bought 8 of these tires for €11 each since I have a 3 bikes that need reliable city tires. Unfortunately the German shop is now out of stock, but while marathon plus is the best puncture protection, there are cheaper options that also provide excellent protection. And are less of a pain to put on the wheel.

Me too. Never had flat in 5 years on Marathon Plus. They last for ages too and are rated for ebikes. I have Continental's ebike tyre on my new bike and have already had one puncture.

These tires have me giggling at all the tubeless people with sealant leaking out of their tires and rims all goofy and their seemingly constant flats.

This. The most practical everyday tire out there.

As a city E-Bike mechanic, I would highly recommend Schwalbe Pick-Up tyres.
Of all the tyres we've tested on our fleet of 1000 bikes, over the last 2 years, these have beaten the crap out of everything else, including Schwalbe Marathon Plus.
