Without any info my advice would be “flip a coin” !

Benefit of non removable battery is that bike is probably lighter and stronger. Disadvantage that for example for working on your bike you cannot remove it so it's heavier to lift on to working stand, cable routing might be trickier to access etc.
Benefits of removable battery are opposite to above and disavantage is more weight, possible problems with battery covers etc. And of course much depends can you charge your bike indoors or not. Depnding of cable routing, I prefer fixed battery on emtb. Not that I haven't had one yet but didn't took Levo battery out so often or on current Bullit either. On Bullit it was also really easy to change rear brake and install lights because of removable battery...and change the battery also when it broke down...

I'm looking at buying either 2024 crafty r or a turbo levo.

Hi yes I can charge it in the garage but if I'm away in the caravan it could be more difficult.
