torque sensor question

[mr watts]

Hi,all just a quick question,is it possible to run a geared hub motor in sensorless mode without the torque sensor connected.
Well, for testing purposes at least.
Thanks in advance.

'sensorless' in the context of a hub motor means without the 3 Hall sensors fitted. The Hall sensors are there to indicate the precise position of the rotor's magnets.
They are not related whatsoever to the torque sensor. The latter is mounted onto the axle of the bottom bracket and measures the force that you put on the cranks.

Yes, if you use a sensorless or dual-mode controller.
