When you say pedal assist, do you mean the motor kicks in when it thinks it needs to? I rode a neighbor's bakfiets that was like that. There was no button to press, as I remember. When I pedaled and the resistance was above a certain threshold, the motor just started helping. Then it stopped. It was a seamless integration.
