Pedro's Tire Levers (pair)

Pedro's levers are wide, flat, plastic levers that are very hard to break and do not chew up rims. That width is why they are the standard recommendation for fat and plus-size e-bike tires, where the bead is tight and the tube is thick. They hook onto a spoke while you work the second lever around. Two in a saddle bag weigh almost nothing. They are a little bulky for a jersey pocket and will eventually round off at the tip after many tires, at which point you buy another pair. For the money there is no reason to own anything else.

Park Tool TL-6.2 Steel Core Tire Levers

The TL-6.2 wraps a steel core in a plastic shell, so you get the rigidity to pry a very tight bead without the rim damage a bare metal lever causes. They are the tool for tires that plastic levers cannot budge, including some wire-bead fat tires and tubeless-ready commuter tires. They are heavier and longer than plastic levers, so they live in the garage more than the saddle bag. Use them with care on carbon rims. For most e-bike tire changes Pedro's plastic levers are enough, but when they bend, these are what you reach for.

Kool-Stop Tire Bead Jack

A bead jack solves the last-six-inches problem: the tire is almost on and the bead will not roll over the rim without a thumb-destroying fight. The Kool-Stop Tire Bead Jack hooks under the rim and levers the bead on with a long handle. It is especially useful on tight tubeless-ready and thick-casing fat tires. It stays in the garage; nobody carries it on the bike. Be careful not to pinch the tube with it, and work the rest of the bead into the rim channel first to give yourself slack. For anyone changing their own e-bike tires, it is a hand-saver.
