I'm sure many others will have some good ideas. The easiest and cheapest is to go to the local bike shop and buy tire liners for your e-bike. It basically sits between your inner tube and the tire to help prevent any sharp objects from puncturing the tube. I've been many thousands of miles on my e-bike and not once have I gotten a flat. We all know how much of a pain flats are to change on an e-bike. Mainly because we all have to bolt the wheels to the frame (quick release won't cut it a lot of times on these type of e-bikes). I never want to get a flat on my e-bike and the tire liners have certainly made sure it was that way. It's funny when I ride with my bike club, everyone jumps out of the way at the first mention of glass or road debris. I just plow through it on my e-bike and giggle. Yeah, I have to pull the glass and nails out of my tires at some point, but it sure beats being stuck on the side of the road with a flat.
The only downside, if something stabs the tire from the side you will get a flat. But I have yet to see that happen to my e-bike. I'm sure at some point my tube will go bad, but sure beats having to patch it all the time.
