I was so nervous going down hills when I first got my e-bike! I'd sing in my head Fleetwood Mac 'You can go your own pace!' and just go as slow as I felt comfortable with. Apply the breaks gently and always look where you want to go when going around a corner. Good luck!

Try maintaining your balance by using the attack position (Google it) which spreads your weight evenly between the front and back wheels and use both front and back brakes at the same time. If you are still skidding it may be time to change to some grippier tyres

I have a fairly heavy cargo bike and when I first bought it I had a scare like this, I now go a lot slower on hills, brake gently but often to control my speed. I used to be worried about annoying people in cars cause I was going slowly but honestly, 30 seconds longer to ensure your safety is nothing. Also when you break try to shift your weight back and not forwards, it will help the back wheels stay in contact with the road

i have a fixed wheel also a marin belt drive, i must say the fixed is great fun and very little maintenance but murder in a tail wind, the belt drive is nice but hardon the bottom bracket with the tension but again on the canal path the dirt is not a problem and very little to clean also you can change gear at traffic lights without turning the pedals, which is nice, But i do find it more effort to keep a good pace, but saying that it also has a front hub dynamo (shift work) and it works a treat so i would sayfixed wheel is good fun bit hard core at the start but to have gears and little maintenance then a belt drive plus no oil on your legs. hope that helps
