Snarky answer: learn to fix a flat, man. Real answer: You should know how to fix a flat... at home. Before you go. A road bike tube change takes me five minutes, A motor and whatever else your electric set up brings with it will make the process take a little longer but it is still bike maintenance 101 (i.e. intro to adulting material). For instance, internal hubs? Not something you want to be fiddling with for the first time while baking in a parking lot on a 90 degree day, on a front loader cargo bike that's too big to fit in just anyone's rig, 20 miles from home in a sketchier neighborhood. Guess how I learned that lesson?
Then, when you're on the road, remember: you're on an ebike, weight means far less than a regular bike. Carry a spare tube, or even two, and a nice portable pump. Leave the patch kit at home for when you have time and patience to mess with it and do it right; not when you're out on the way somewhere and lacking a decent work space. CO2 cartridges are super handy but really wasteful. That's an ethical choice for yourself to decide. Fat tire bikes are almost easier since they don't need to be pumped up as much (e.g. compared to a road bike).
Also, I carry an assortment of tools and would suggest that to anyone trying to bike commute. One of these (the M19) folding tools can completely take apart most bikes save for the cranks. If your axles aren't quick release than the folding tool is almost a necessity unless you want to carry a single allen wrench and wish you had more when your crank arm starts coming loose, or your handlebars get out of wack, or your brakes start rubbing. With an ebike I also bring zipties and a leatherman. They have both individually and collectively saved me. Bikes are easy to work on. I feel deeply disappointed in myself when I have to drive anymore. Let bikes set you free!
​
Edit: Oh. And get a good bike lock. Not some dinky crap that can be snipped with a pair of pocket sized garden shears. Even if you don't think you'll ever use it. If you ride your bike, you will. If your bike does completely crap the bed, its nice to be able to safely lock it up somewhere rather than have to drag it around with you while you find a solution.
On the x-posted thread someone was asking about gear load out... so thought I'd put it here as well..
In the saddle under the seat:
In the snack bag on the top tube:
On my person:
As for clothes at work, I have a locker so stock up once a week on them.. and also keep toiletries at work. HTH!
Working on a bike with a multitool like this one is hard enough, I can't imagine with a knife. Sometimes you have to push or twist with quite a bit of torque and I am not sure a knife would take that kind of stress. It is much better to have regular T wrenches like this but they lack the portability
Besides, I only see 10mm hex on the wenger, you need the 8mm and the torx if you need to hit the brakes.
My anecdotal evidence, I have the crankbrothers specifically for bike repairs and this incredibly awesome victorinox tool for repairs on the go.
Multitool, new tube, pump, tyre levers (three metal oneslike these)) is all you really need to cover all distances. If you get a multitool with a chain breaker you can fix the one issue that can happen that would leave you stranded. Pack a few zip ties for good measure and you are good to go.
A waterbottle is essential on longer routes, and panniers should be a given for stuff you need like a change of clothes and your lunch. A backpack gets very annoying, especially in the summer.
I also use one of these metal clothes pins with a strong spring to keep my right pants leg out of the chain, works wonderfully.
If you're looking to up your riding game, everything listed above will save you from any trouble you have on the road. Cycling computer is always neat to have too!
Cygolite Metro 400 and the Hotshot are brilliant. The lights definitely pack a strong punch. I'll tell you right now, unless the lighting in your town sucks ass or you go off road riding, the metro 400 is a great light and you don't really need to go much higher than that.
Crank Brothers multitool is really good. You just can't take wheels off with it.

By slip I mean fail to catch (rides on top of the sprockets) until it suddenly snaps into place. Is that what you understood?
Any idea if http://www.amazon.com/Crank-Brothers-Bicycle-19-Function-Silver/dp/B0012Q41HY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1342369989&sr=8-1&keywords=crank+brothers has a chain wear indicator? Just says "a universal chain too"
here's a list of stuff i have and use frequently that i feel others would probably appreciate: airzound air horn, one of these two mounts, multi-tool, CO2 tire inflator, there's no such thing as too many patch kits, bikeglow safety light, PDW danger zone tail light, lezyne micro floor pump, louis garneau super prestige cold weather gloves
For a long ride?
I also carry shoe laces and velcro, in case I need to tie something up or down.
A bike-specific multi-tool is nice in case something goes wrong.
I use this one personally.
