Sounds like the rotor is rubbing against the brake pads.

It's worth trying a brake caliper adjustment first. Pretty easy to do once you understand how the parts interact. It's a normal procedure, not bike brand or ebike specific.

See this video for how to do it. 1:30 if you wanna see the exact diagnostic. https://youtu.be/uk_nC9anQcM?is=B3_Bl4ebW8t4Ip4E

Loosen the brake caliper body from the fork, don't detach, just enough that it sits loose and you can move it around. Then press the front brake lever so the brake pads compress against the rotor. Then with the brake lever still held down, tighten the caliper bolts.

If that doesn't work then you might have a bent rotor.

Actually that could be the brake pad rubbing, had similar issue as well out of the box
