I bought this Elops Speed 500 from Decathlon and added fenders and bag. The chain was very tight and I loosened it a little.
Any upgrade recommendations?

what’s the front fender?
as for recommendations, ride the shit out of it first, then see what you wanna upgrade, off the top of my head though, saddle and pedals
I’ve upgraded the seatpost first, since the one from the just was not angle adjustable and put on my pedals. Then I’ve converted it to dropbars and last change was the bottom bracket (to some metal shimano one) and the crankset change (some cheaper sturmey archer), I’ve also change the freewheel after the winter, since it was getting crunchy. But you can ride it to the ground first 🙂 (I have like 10k km on mine already)

I love that bike, here is mine!
Rear mudguard is intended to strap to your seatpost so it sits close to the rear wheel and follows its curve
I love mine, only slight annoyance is no (easy) way to mount to rear rack
