Claim 18:
19. A method for operating a vehicle, the method comprising:
receiving, by a controller, a wheel speed signal from a wheel speed sensor assembly coupled to both a motor housing and a wheel hub of the vehicle, wherein the wheel speed signal generated by the wheel speed sensor assembly facilitates measuring an angle of rotation of a wheel coupled to the wheel hub to within less than 1°;
determining, by the controller, a speed and direction of rotation of the wheel based on the wheel speed signal; and
operating, by the controller, the motor of the vehicle responsive to the wheel speed signal to increase power to the motor when the determined speed falls below a target speed, and to decrease power to the motor when the determined speed is above the target speed.
