Yes you have to remove the crank arm, then the chainring to drop the motor. It's not the hardest job but does require a specific tool you'll need to buy as nothing else will fit. You 'could' then fit a different chainring which would allow you to dop the motor without needing to remove it all...
That had some awesomely priced bikes under the Granary Cycles name a couple of years ago.. Although i completely forget now what they were, but i almost bought one, they sold out though.
There's also a pump track/jump park at Van Road near Caerphilly. That's ace and has 3 different tracks of varying levels right up to crazy.

This was my boys first time on DJ.
If you want easy sessionable jumps head to Tirpentwys trails, they've got progressively bigger/different lines with a perfectly easy Eeb back up again, you could hit 200 jumps in an hour easy.
It's a great place for steep berms, tech etc too if you wish. Let's of very very fast people head...
Yup, did that 😂 😂 😂
I was sorting of at the stage where I was nearly clearing the jumps and that lip spat me over the bars upside down. Happily apart from that, it went well as I scuffed my helmet but nothing else.
My least favourite trail in the park due to my lack of jumping skill. I used to be a lot better but I seem to have lost it, mostly after a massive crash on that trail before they redesigned it.
It's a trail I just don't get now.
I was going to sell my Rise to buy a DH bike, but you then find things like this

I'm not convinced mine is worth selling lol. That's a bargain!
Don't worry, it's nopt just Ebikes, it's manuals too. I bought and sold a pair at the weekend, the only reason i let mine go for silly money was because the incoming one was also silly money, so compensated for it.
490 reach on an L is fairly long... For example my Trek Fuel is 475 for a Large, most other manufacturers are 470-480 for a large, but there are outliers with the LLS bikes, so my Status was 493, it didn't feel ridiculously long, but deffo i'm happier with a shorter reach.
