My ebike conversion had a sensor that applied the rear brake when I stopped pedalling
I got the shop to disconnect it!
My first 2 ebikes (long story!) had a sensor on the brakes so that the hub motor disconnected when you pulled the brake lever
It didn't apply the brake immediately - you had to pull an extra cm or so for that - but the motor cut out so you just freewheeled unless you were pedalling
I found it very useful as both systems tended to over-run and keep the motor running when you stopped pedalling so approaching traffic lights
actually my third one didn;t have it on the back brake - but only because it was faulty - so I got into the habit on pulling the front brake so it would coast gently to a halt
