You can get hydro brakes with integrated cut offs, like the Magura MT5e. Might be worth looking into?
IrPOWERranger-
I have the brakes already but just saw a YouTube video where a guy had little cutout switches on hydro brake levers so I guess it's a thing. Fairly ignorant of how e-bikes/bafang work, will it still deliver power when coasting? I'd assumed not but I can't see the point in brake triggered cut-off if not.

Sensing a Bafang in my near future due to increase in commuting distance, weight and elevation (nursery drop 2 days/week). I understand BBSHD is the go-to and this means no torque sensor which is probably not an issue for me.
Is AliExpress going to be a good bet for purchase and anything else I should look for beyond the conversion kit... Like some kind of cable for adjusting the settings?
Also, brake sensors... I'll be running hydro brakes so I assume this is incompatible. Is this an issue if I don't plan on pedaling and dragging the brakes at the same time?
