Is it easy to repair a flat tire, on a belt bike?

By easy, I mean at home with basic tools, not at roadside on a rainy night.

That is my main worry about belt and internal gearbox bikes (I have flats quite often even with new tires)

I'll let you be the judge. This is the official instructions video for my main bike.

Neat. 10 min, with clean hands at the end. Thank you!
