"How I Elevate" Bimotal Elevate System
This system is a game changer. I especially love that you can remove the motor and ride your bike on the descents as a normal bike. I decided to mount the system onto my old Norco Sight, and leave my newer Rocky Mountain Altitude enduro bike pure. The Norco was a fairly light trail bike to begin with, thus giving me an e-mtb that weighs just 39 lbs.

Hey there!
Peter from Bimotal here - basically removing the motor reduces unsprung weight on the rear suspension which should improve the bike's performance over technical terrain. A good number of users don't notice much of a difference (myself included) and just leave it on.
The motor is pretty sturdy so not a big worry there. It is also sealed to minimize damage from water / dirt / moisture ingress.

Is the point, you have the option not the obligation to remove the motor quickly?
Or is it more likely that you'll want to remove the motor on a long techy descent to prevent damage in a wreck, since one ding to the motor and its goodbye motor or rear brake alignment? The riding in my area has a lot of rocks so I'm debating getting this for my 575.
