Had to order a new tire because I've got a knot in my back tire causing a wobble.
I can change out a cruiser bike tire and probably about 5 minutes but I've never done one of these before. I guess I'll find out when my new tire arrives
Won’t let me add it for some reason but I wanted to add that my inner tube is probably still good but I ordered another one just in case

Probably. Ebike tires tend to have really stiff side walls and beads.

can be a big pita. i usually lay the wheel on its side (rotor up) and use my heel to break the bead. make sure to clean off the bottom of the shoe first, or stick a rag between

It depends on the brand and the model. My experience with Kendas is that they are kinda on the loose side. So, while it may be different for the particular model you bought, I wouldn’t be concerned

It’ll probably be fine. I usually have more trouble with dealing with all the little washer tabs and flat sides axles you have to position correctly to get the wheel back in the frame on bikes like this.

Get a set of steel tire levers and you will be able to handle it.
