I just recently bought this and have no clue what model it is. I can’t seem to find it on the website either.

That's a Lectric XPremium, it's a discontinued model of theirs, but it's got some good features in it.

I unlocked and it and it gets up to 30 mph no problem. I just had my first flat on the way into work though and had to call in.

definitely swap out the tire tubes with something better. i had two flats on the rear wheel 300 miles into my new bike, swapped out the rear tube, and the last 1000 after that has been free of it

Do you have any recommendations on tubes and tires or do you think what I have now is fine? I am still fairly new to this all but the bike ain’t going anywhere even after I get a car again.

I have these: https://www.amazon.com/Schrader-Automatic-Self-sealing-Resistant-Compatible/dp/B08MQ4P879 and they're fine. Of course, you could also buy the tubes themselves (and get them as thick as you can find them) and fill them with flatout, since flatout's formulation is going to be better than what's in these pre-filled tubes.
Of course, after that point, replace it when it's necessary, and definitely learn how to replace the tubes yourself if you haven't already, since you can easily get the hang of the process.
For the tires, they look fine. You should start replacing them when the tread on those tires starts fading badly. You have 20x4 tires, just look for those and swap it out.

Do I have to remove the valve stem to put flat out in ?
RichTrifle1785@reddit
Yes, you do

Thank you, I know I just purchased this used but all the stems have snapped. Will these give me that problem or is that just from over time and normal? Also what’s the average life of that tub and and would you recommend any brand of tires that are highly durable?
I saw super moto x but they are sold out.
