Shuttling? Once you remove the motor and put it into a backpack downhill riding should be quite decent. Decent enough I think to make it worth it for the space and cash saved.

Personally I’m not doing any downhill riding with the motor in my backpack. Or really anything hard with sharp edges. I like having a working spine.

Either it’s unsprung mass or a liability, and, well, actual e-bikes have converged on BB motors for a number of reasons.
