It's either the rocket launcher or the caltrops.

Seriously though, some kind of power assist/boost maybe?

Looks like a kit conversion, so the button may be wired to do a number of things.
Is that a thumb throttle to the right of the button?
If so, the button may activate and deactivate the throttle.
Alternatively, it might be a so-called 'off road' button which turns off the motor assist cut off point of 15.5mph.
I can see there's a bell, but it may also have been something as simple as the button for a cheap horn which some Chinese bikes are fitted with.

Just to the right of the red button, there's a "twist-grip" throttle with 3 LED's on it that light up when the ignition is on. You might be right - it might be a throttle on/off switch. Might take it for a ride (and just hope I don't crash it).
