In this case the one-way pulley just lets the belt keep spinning. With a locked center pulley and oneway, when you let off the trigger the front belt slows down to match the center shaft speed. With a center one-way that belt can continue spinning at the same speed as the front one-way unit (so long as that speed is faster than the center shaft speed, at which point the pulley locks). furthermore because the one-way housing is spinning closer to the speed of the tires, the front-oneway bearings are seeing lower relative speeds.
basically it can save the motor from having to accelerate the front belt and one-way housing under a lot of conditions.
