Can a sensored controller be used on a sensorless motor?

[Tommycat]

Hi Everyone, I have been working on repairing an escooter and my controller and throttle have arrived from Aliexpress now, however I believe I have the issue that my motor is senseless and my controller requires sensors. Is there anyway to bypass the hall sensor?

Question moved here from Guide to Hall Sensor Throttle operation, testing, and modification.

A short and quick answer would be... no.

If you look at this thread under testing a motor's hall sensors, (there are actually three...) it will give you a better understanding between sensored and un-sensored motors and their controllers...

Keep in mind though, some controllers are often capable of doing both. (running sensored and un-sensored) So check your controller documentation carefully.
