They work well on loose surfaces such as sand and gravel, but excel in cities because they are incredibly stable, and cannot get jammed in tram tracks, (legacy) storm drains, or gaps between shifting slabs of concrete. They can also be run at incredibly low pressures.
They do have more resistance than normal tires, but not much more, and the difference is negligible for an ebike :)
