Hello! Recently I got a flat on my front wheel and I thought I can take off the tire and inspect the tube, but it seems like the tire is glued to rim or something and I'm a bit scared to break it. Is it possible to take it off? I changed the tubes on other normal bikes before, but this is new for me.

Step on it, fastest way to unstuck the bead.
It’s possible it could be set up tubless, and the sealant has glued the bead. If not tubeless, then the feed could just be really tight into the hook of the rim . In either case grab the tire with your palms just Above the Rim and roll the feed inward with your palms until It Breaks the seal. You won’t hurt the tire. Once you break the beat use a tire lever to pull the tire out and over the wall of the rim
Some beads seat really good
It will pop out with enough force.
