It's mostly hidden now. The arrows point to the reed switch hidden under a huge chunk of hot glue, and the magnet on the lever. I had to protect the fragile glass reed switch. I'll try cutting the blob down later. The wires are connected to the NC pins of the reed switch, and the magnet keeps it open normally. When the magnet is moved away from the reed switch it closes. Both up and down shifting on these shifters move the rear lever, so it works both up and down.
I thought about doing the same thing when I had the motor on my fatbike, but then I would only use it on downshifting as it's a trigger shifter. I don't think it's that critical on upshifts.
The video shows how it works, only when stationary. It interrupts the assist and spins the motor at this speed when riding, and the assist engages immediately after I release the shifter. There's no gap like with the brake switches.

I had fiddled with the throttle settings which offset the bottom, so it was stronger and faster in the video. I reset it now, and it's bothweak and slower again, even in first gear. IT just needs to interrupt the assist, so it's perfect now. I could make it interrupt the throttle lever as well by connecting the NC end of the reed switch in series with the throttle. That way it would disconnect the throttle lever, and run thgouth the resistors when shifting.
