The headline pretty much says it all. Recently, my beautiful baby ebike was vandalised in the cold Helsinki night. The thugs ripped of the controllers, throttle and wires. Left the motor though... idiot thugs.
So now I ordered a new controller which is "sensorless". This is the one that goldenmotor is selling. Now when I'm rewiring, I started to figure - do I really need to wire those hall sensors at all? The controller is sensorless, right? Does it even need to be connected to the hall sensors?
The reason I ask is because 1) I'm having a hard time fitting all the wires through the little whole in the axle, 2) I'm lazy and don't want to solder all those tiny little wires and 3) I think one of the sensors is done for anyways and needs to be replaced (what a hazzle!).
Are there any drawbacks to running without hall sensors?
