I've never used a bike with a Di2 system, so is there anything I would need to know about it/using it? – The same is true for tubeless tyres. My understanding is that there is a sealant inside the tyres instead of a tube and you pump with air as normal? – Side note, how do you know what the PSI should be for tubeless?
I am interested to know if anyone can recommend some compatible mudguards and kickstand for the bike. I intend to give the bike a thorough clean this weekend, lubricate the chain, stuff like that, but im wondering if there's anything I need to be aware of.
As I mentioned, im not a cycling enthusiast, so there's plenty I don't know and yet to learn. I bought this mainly as my commute bike and for some fun on some local gravel paths.
Thanks for any support and help!

You need to charge it every now and then, depending on how much you ride. Usually so seldom that you end up forgetting it. If you have a head unit (for example a Garmin Edge), you can pair it with the Di2 system and get a notification when the battery is low.

You just pump it as normal. You also need to add sealant every 3–6 months as it dries up.
For pressure, you can use something like [https://silca.cc/en-eu/pages/pro-tire-pressure-calculator](https://silca.cc/en-eu/pages/pro-tire-pressure-calculator) or [https://www.wolftoothcomponents.com/pages/tire-pressure-calculator](https://www.wolftoothcomponents.com/pages/tire-pressure-calculator)
Regarding mudguards, just contact Rose.
That’s a bargain!
Don’t fit a kick stand and I wouldn’t bother with full mudguards unless you ride in groups. Ass-savers (or cheap clones of Ali express do the job. I’d also recommend front and rear lights even during the day and bright clothing if you’re riding on roads or where people hunt.
