A spoke wrench is the one tool that makes the difference between a wobbly wheel you ride around on and one you fix in the garage. Park Tool's SW-7.2 covers three common nipple sizes in a single hardened tool, which matters on e-bikes because hub-motor wheels often use larger nipples than the rest of the bike. It is not a precision truing stand, but combined with a zip tie on the fork as a gauge, it will get a rubbing wheel straight again. The three-in-one format is the right one to own if you only own one.

Hub-motor wheels are laced with short, thick spokes — 13 gauge (2.3 mm) is the usual — because the big flange sits close to the rim and the wheel carries far more load than a normal bike wheel. When a spoke snaps, ordinary 14 gauge spokes from a bike shop are the wrong diameter for the motor flange holes and nipples. Generic 13g spoke packs come in several lengths; measuring an existing spoke from elbow to end is the only reliable way to order. A pack of 36 lets you replace one or re-lace the whole wheel.
Best for: Replacing broken spokes on a rear or front hub-motor wheel · Re-lacing a hub motor into a new rim · Keeping spares for a heavy e-bike

The front wheel on a fat folding e-bike is a plain bicycle wheel: no motor, a 6-bolt disc hub, and an 80 mm wide rim for a 4-inch tire. When one gets tacoed by a pothole, a generic replacement is the cheapest fix, and several sellers list 20-inch fat front wheels with an alloy double-wall rim and a quick-release or bolt-on hub. Check your fork's dropout spacing (100 mm and 135 mm both exist on these bikes) and hub type before ordering. Tire, tube and rotor are usually not included.
Best for: Replacing a bent front wheel on a 20x4 fat folder · Riders who want a spare front wheel for a second tire setup · Budget repairs
