Yeah this is a problem actually, because the largest off-the-shelf mudguards are 65mm, and then it jumps into fatbike territory. I'm inclined to think that 2.6" is the
minimum for ebikes, and 3.0" is probably the most sensible. Then again, it depends on the wheel size, too.
For less money you'll also get good lights like the B&M IQ-X E or Lupine SL
I just got the Lupine SL S for my son's Haibike ebike and I'm very impressed. It is 6V only (sadly, Yamaha cannot handle Supernova Pro's 12V requirement) but it has a very smooth light cone, and also has automatic adjustment based on the amount of ambient light.
So for average use Schwalbe Marathon Plus MTB are the choice.
My ebikes came with the following tires: Hutchinson Toro, Rock Razor and the kids bike has Table Top. All are MTB-ish. Marathon Plus MTB look good, too.
