You're absolutely right! Punctures and breakdowns on ebikes can feel like a whole different ball game compared to regular bikes. I've definitely been there, struggling with a flat tire on my ebike in the middle of nowhere, and let me tell you, it's not a picnic. Seeing that scene in Amsterdam brought it all back! Here's my take on dealing with ebike punctures and breakdowns, based on my own experiences and those of fellow ebike enthusiasts: Invest in good-quality, puncture-resistant tires like Schwalbe Marathon Plus or Vittoria Voyager Hyper. Slime sealant can also offer an extra layer of protection. Always have a patch kit, pump, and tire levers with you. Learning how to fix a puncture before you need to will save you a lot of stress! You might not be able to flip the ebike over, so practice changing a tire while it's still upright. Support the frame with a sturdy object and use a strong light if it's dark. Services like the AA/RAC in the UK are starting to offer ebike recovery packages. It might be worth looking into for that extra peace of mind.
