Idle for X1 mid drive w/ RC controller?

So this motor freewheels which means it stops turning when you close the throttle even if the bike is moving. Constantly having to startup the motor from a dead stop whenever I get on the throttle is not only annoying and sometimes hard on the drivetrain, it's probably also inefficient.

And it doesn't let me downshift while braking, unless I open the throttle myself, which is undesirable.

So what is the simplest way to add-on a DESIRABLE idle to a RC controller?

Via throttle signal intercept, motor current loop input, maybe speed input, as far as I can figure out.

Basically when the throttle is closed your intercept applies just enough power to keep the motor rotating and the drivetrain engaged. If there is too great a load, measured via motor current, (or if the bike drops below a certain speed) the system automatically disengages.

Anyone have better idea?
