If I begin to descend or approach a corner, I touch the brake for a split second just to switch off assistance. Obviously I still pedal. It makes no sense to ride without pedalling, especially as I have regen charging, but I don't want to use battery if I don't need to. Also, it's second nature to turn a pedal occasionally during braking, even if this is just to lift a pedal out the way of an inside kerb etc. I do not want the motor triggering under such circumstances. I expect the omission of brake cut-out would be annoying!
